I saw an Elvis Presley movie Jailhouse Rock, where he gets out of jail and makes his own records and takes them to the radio stations himself. And then, he puts records in the store. After seeing that, I made records an put them in stores. ~ Bobby Vinton
Radio Stations quotes by Bobby Vinton
The joy of Christmas causes hundreds of radio stations around the country to play Christmas music all day, and people will exchange millions of gifts to remember the first gift of Christmas, the infant Jesus. ~ James Lankford
Radio Stations quotes by James Lankford
I wanted to be the perfect artist. I'd do three hours of media interviews a day, going to every radio station I could squeeze in. I'd sign autographs after the show until everybody left. ~ Clint Black
Radio Stations quotes by Clint Black
When I was a kid I had a friend who worked in a radio station. Whenever we walked under a bridge, you couldn't hear what he said. ~ Steven Wright
Radio Stations quotes by Steven Wright
One reason I do the live shows - and the monthly speeches at public radio stations - is to remind myself that people hear the show, that it has an audience, that it exists in the world. It's so easy to forget that. ~ Ira Glass
Radio Stations quotes by Ira Glass
The videos are sometimes the only way for people across the country and different places to see and hear the music. They may not get the same radio stations or they don't get the same TV channels, they don't have the same MTV that plays the same music. People will use to the Internet and that's why YouTube and stuff like that is so important. ~ Kid Ink
Radio Stations quotes by Kid Ink
There is more talent per square metre in Ireland than there is anywhere else. We just don't harness or help them ... the radio stations prefer to support the likes of Rihanna and Beyonce. ~ Louis Walsh
Radio Stations quotes by Louis Walsh
Radio stations have constructed a narrow door[way], and that's because they don't understand how complex and paradoxical our snap judgments are. It's hard to measure new songs. ~ Malcolm Gladwell
Radio Stations quotes by Malcolm Gladwell
Demagoguery sells. And therefore radio stations will put it on. But that doesn't mean that you can't do something else and also make it sell. You know, when I look at an Ann Coulter or I look at a Rush or I look at a Sean Hannity, I think to myself, 'What kind of self-image do you have?' ~ Al Franken
Radio Stations quotes by Al Franken
Every time I went on the radio, I would take the crummiest radio station, the station that was like a toilet bowl. I would go on there and build up the ratings, so you couldn't do any worse. ~ Howard Stern
Radio Stations quotes by Howard Stern
But in those days - in the mid-'50s, early '60s - there was less than 300 radio stations that were playing country music and a lot of that wasn't full time. ~ Mel Tillis
Radio Stations quotes by Mel Tillis
The Internet makes it easier to find good music I would have to say. The radio stations that play the kind of music you were talking about, I don't think me and Curt Smith would be that inclined to listen to. It doesn't really affect us and I certainly don't remember the last time I watched MTV. ~ Roland Orzabal
Radio Stations quotes by Roland Orzabal
The music I was always attracted to and the shows I was really into like, you know, those weekend Don Kirshner shows, "Midnight Special," those shows, I remember watching those and the music was just on; it was the greatest radio stations. ~ Bobby Cannavale
Radio Stations quotes by Bobby Cannavale
When radio stations started playing music the record companies started suing radio stations. They thought now that people could listen to music for free, who would want to buy a record in a record shop? But I think we all agree that radio stations are good stuff. ~ Niklas Zennstrom
Radio Stations quotes by Niklas Zennstrom
When I first started, it was the real basic stuff that was being played on the radio, so I was into Zeppelin, and Sabbath, and AC/DC, and all stuff like that. I grew up in New York, on Long Island, so the local radio stations played all that kind of thing. ~ John Petrucci
Radio Stations quotes by John Petrucci
Dreams and coffee and sunrises make up the rhythms of the road.
Music is a part of it, too: the popular music on the jukeboxes and radio stations. You hear it constantly, in diners and on car radios. The music has a rhythm that fits the steady drumming of tires over pavement. It seeps into your bloodstream. After a while it ceases to make any difference whether or not you like the stuff. When you're traveling alone, a nameless rider with a succession of strangers, it can give you a comforting sense of the familiar to hear the same music over and over.
At any given time, a few current hits will be overplayed to exhaustion by the rock & roll stations. In hitching across the continent, you might hear the same song fifty or sixty times. Certain songs become connected in your mind with certain trips. ~ Kenn Kaufman
Radio Stations quotes by Kenn Kaufman
Whose sisters listen to foreign radio stations? The woman ~ Anthony Doerr
Radio Stations quotes by Anthony Doerr
The Sixties were different in an isolated place. We got two television channels if the wind was blowing in the right direction. The radio stations went off at sundown. Then you picked up Chicago and heard the teenage music you really yearned for. ~ Charles Frazier
Radio Stations quotes by Charles Frazier
When I started in '54, it was only one track on a quarter-inch machine. We didn't have recording studios much around the country; we went into the radio stations and recorded our records. ~ Jim Ed Brown
Radio Stations quotes by Jim Ed Brown
My mother had a radio show - a Barbara Walters type of gal and was very successful for about 20-some years on a radio station. ~ Jonathan Winters
Radio Stations quotes by Jonathan Winters
Up north, you could find these radio stations with no name on the dials that played pre-rock 'n' roll things - country blues. We would hear Slim Harpo or Lightnin' Slim and gospel groups, the Dixie Hummingbirds, the Five Blind Boys of Alabama. I was so far north, I didn't even know where Alabama was. ~ Bob Dylan
Radio Stations quotes by Bob Dylan
My retirement, back in 1976, began as a one-year boycott to challenge the media on that question. I refused to return until the media, and radio stations in particular, got a hold on identifiably Canadian songs. ~ Stompin' Tom Connors
Radio Stations quotes by Stompin' Tom Connors
When the first record came out, I'd go down to radio stations pretty much every day to get the record played, and I would walk in and they'd tell us how much they loved the record, but they weren't sure how much they could play it because they were already playing a girl. ~ Pat Benatar
Radio Stations quotes by Pat Benatar
I remember, when I was a kid, listening to the radio and hearing 'Big Bad John' by Jimmy Dean - and it just blew me away. I used to sit there and call the radio stations and request that song. And then the Beatles were obviously out already, but I really didn't know about the Beatles. ~ Nikki Sixx
Radio Stations quotes by Nikki Sixx
My latest theory is that it's - well, I describe it as, like, being in an apartment with kind of thin walls. And in the apartment next door, they've got a radio tuned constantly on - tuned to a really cool radio station. It's on all the time. And you can just hear it coming through the wall all the time. ~ Nick Lowe
Radio Stations quotes by Nick Lowe
Your main radio stations, the stations that get the most listeners, don't play anything that has any kind of integrity to it. ~ Robert Glasper
Radio Stations quotes by Robert Glasper
The last time I spoke with Robert was back in May. When his wife was murdered, I talked to several radio stations in defense of him because I know how Bobby Blake really is, and as far as I'm concerned, there's no murder in his heart. ~ Tommy Bond
Radio Stations quotes by Tommy Bond
If the people are the landlords of the public airwaves and the television and radio stations are the tenants, why don't the tenants pay rent? ~ Ralph Nader
Radio Stations quotes by Ralph Nader
When I started in radio, I worked for free. I lived at the radio station. Then I worked for very little money. ~ Sean Hannity
Radio Stations quotes by Sean Hannity
Everybody wished to confess, not to admit anything. The sins they remembered, before the end of the world, were general rather than particular. Nobody even knew how to tell the time. Banks of computers around the planet were predicted to crash when the end of the millennium arrived. All the machinery dependent on electronic calculation would go: jumbo jets and atomic power plants, satellites and radio stations, nuclear submarines beneath the ice caps and the stock exchange in New York. Each sin demanded to be told to its full extent before the day arrived. The culprits counted them out one after the other, arriving at a total just as if they were finding the sums of the cents in their hands. But there was no simple way to measure sin. ~ Imraan Coovadia
Radio Stations quotes by Imraan Coovadia
Tango was very popular in Panama at the time when I was growing up. In the Fifties in Panama, the radio stations played all types of music. ~ Ruben Blades
Radio Stations quotes by Ruben Blades
In Hawaii, some of the biggest radio stations are reggae. The local bands are heavily influenced by Bob Marley. ~ Bruno Mars
Radio Stations quotes by Bruno Mars
I've never come into anything successful before. I've always been hired by horrible radio stations with horrendous reputations and nothing to lose. ~ Howard Stern
Radio Stations quotes by Howard Stern
It's American Alternative radio stations that bug me. We're considered Alternative, but don't expect us to be played next to Blink 182 and Offspring. We're hardly of that generation. ~ Thurston Moore
Radio Stations quotes by Thurston Moore
I never sent promotional copies to Christian radio stations in my life. It's not what I'm interested in. ~ Larry Norman
Radio Stations quotes by Larry Norman
Because of the control of the media by corporate wealth, the discovery of truth depends on an alternative media, such as small radio stations, networks, programs. Also, alternative newspapers, which exist all over the country. Also, cable TV programs, which are not dependent on commercial advertising. Also, the internet, which can reach millions of people by-passing the conventional media. ~ Howard Zinn
Radio Stations quotes by Howard Zinn
I learned that the Canadian government is very supportive of their native artists. As a rule, at least half of the play list played on Canadian radio stations must be of national origin and any non-Canadian headlining artists must include at least one national act on their bill. This kind of support has established Canada as a creatively fertile ground for some of music's greatest artists. The ~ Rudy Sarzo
Radio Stations quotes by Rudy Sarzo
I'm confused that there is a lack of faith in listening to and deciding what is a great song and instead going for these formulaic, bad songs over and over again. But that's what happened when people from beverage companies bought record labels and radio stations as opposed to people who love music owning record labels. ~ Patty Griffin
Radio Stations quotes by Patty Griffin
I watched her face switch among the radio stations of memory ~ Diane Ackerman
Radio Stations quotes by Diane Ackerman
A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes Hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature. He cannot distinguish fiction from fact, and belongs in the same category as the people who send checks to radio stations for the relief of suffering heroines in soap operas. ~ Northrop Frye
Radio Stations quotes by Northrop Frye
I would go to radio stations and they were supposed to be interviewing me and playing my record and they would say, We're playing too many women right now, we can't play your record. ~ Kristin Hersh
Radio Stations quotes by Kristin Hersh
There is no question that the US market is the hardest to break into. I believe that the reason for this primarily has to do with the fact that the majority of the most powerful radio stations in the US are owned by Clear Channel. They are massive and have the ability to break artists worldwide. For the most part, they are dealing directly with the major labels in the US, with whom they have had long relationships. If you are an artist that is not being pushed by Clear Channel radio in the US, your chances of becoming a household name are slim. ~ Wendy Starland
Radio Stations quotes by Wendy Starland
But these days, I get a lot more attention and airplay from the Adult Contemporary and country radio stations, and I feel comfortable saying I'm a part of that. ~ Juice Newton
Radio Stations quotes by Juice Newton
Artists make normal songs. Then Radio stations, TV and DJ's turn those normal songs into hits ~ De Philosopher DJ Kyos
Radio Stations quotes by De Philosopher DJ Kyos
Every town in America had at least one, two, or maybe three radio stations that played rock 24 hours a day. In England, we had a rock specialist on for two hours a week. ~ Joe Elliott
Radio Stations quotes by Joe Elliott
He was Jimi Hendrix! He didn't sound like anybody else but himself. He was like Charlie Parker in his way of playing, he played well, he was a person that made waves. When you heard Jimi Hendrix you knew it was Jimi Hendrix, he introduced himself in his instrument ... You know, many radio stations play records and a lot of the times they don't call out the names who you just listened to, but when they play Jimi Hendrix, you don't have to tell me, [you know] it's Jimi Hendrix ... ~ B.B. King
Radio Stations quotes by B.B. King
Originally, I think, I wanted to be an actor. But I got into broadcasting by accident, if you will, because I needed money to pay for my college education. I applied for a summer announcing job at a couple of radio stations. ~ Alex Trebek
Radio Stations quotes by Alex Trebek
I grew up on a farm where we had one radio station and it was all country. ~ Garrett Hedlund
Radio Stations quotes by Garrett Hedlund
I spent most of the year in the studio for electronic music at a radio station in Cologne or in other studios where I produced new works with all kinds of electronic apparatus. ~ Karlheinz Stockhausen
Radio Stations quotes by Karlheinz Stockhausen
John R. told me you don't work for the radio station. You work for the people out there. ~ Wolfman Jack
Radio Stations quotes by Wolfman Jack
And in an era where radio stations that are inclined to play Styx music are your classic rock stations and the stations that play current music look at us as dinosaurs - the only way we could reach people with our new music, generally, is to perform live. ~ James Young
Radio Stations quotes by James Young
I think there's good music out there. I just think that radio stations don't play it. ~ Robert Glasper
Radio Stations quotes by Robert Glasper
Town after town has but one newspaper or one radio station. It is often owned by Murdoch. Yes, we don't have as much freedom of the press as we think we have - although the traditional freedom of speech is strongly rooted in American culture. ~ Pete Seeger
Radio Stations quotes by Pete Seeger
I'm still heard on 1,500 radio stations across North America every day, about 220 million people a day in 150 countries. ~ James Dobson
Radio Stations quotes by James Dobson
To be a DJ was to be God. To be a DJ at an alternative public radio station ? That was being God with a mission. It was thinking you were the first person to discover The Clash and you had to spread the word. ~ Carrie Vaughn
Radio Stations quotes by Carrie Vaughn
I've actually done events at radio stations where I feel like I've had to give a little talk in behalf of television as a medium. ~ Ira Glass
Radio Stations quotes by Ira Glass
Music itself was color-blind but the media and the radio stations segregate it based on their perceptions of the artists. ~ Anthony Kiedis
Radio Stations quotes by Anthony Kiedis
I know that there are going to be people that don't like my music, but I think in the industry itself it is always that, 'Oh. you're from the 'X Factor.' There have been certain radio stations that will not play your song because you are from the 'X Factor,' yet they'll play another song from an artist from another TV show. ~ Olly Murs
Radio Stations quotes by Olly Murs
That was the big thing when I was growing up, singing on the radio. The extent of my dream was to sing on the radio station in Memphis. Even when I got out of the Air Force in 1954, I came right back to Memphis and started knocking on doors at the radio station. ~ Johnny Cash
Radio Stations quotes by Johnny Cash
After I was married a year I remembered things like radio stations and forgot my husband. ~ P.J. Wolfson
Radio Stations quotes by P.J. Wolfson
The effect hip-hop had on me was enormous. I was exposed to it by happenstance. My father worked at a radio station in New York called WKTU Disco 92. It was the first radio station in New York City to play disco in the late '70s. ~ Michael Rapaport
Radio Stations quotes by Michael Rapaport
Flipping the dial through available radio stations there will blare out to any listener an array of broadcasts, 24/7, propagating Religious Right politics, along with what they deem to be 'old-time gospel preaching.' This is especially true of what comes over the airwaves in Bible Belt southern states. ~ Tony Campolo
Radio Stations quotes by Tony Campolo
Radio stations play what they believe is in, and they all talk to each other. ~ Nikki Sixx
Radio Stations quotes by Nikki Sixx
Where I grew up, we had the three TV networks, maybe two radio stations, no cable TV. We still had a long-distance party line in our neighborhood, so you could listen to all your neighbors' phone calls. We had a very small public library, and the nearest bookstore was an hour away. ~ Marc Andreessen
Radio Stations quotes by Marc Andreessen
Subject that got people aroused ... was Who Owns America? ... They had a chart going ... filling in connections between the big local contractors and the steel companies and the city and county governments and the unions ... and the downtown merchants ... They found they still did not know who owned obvious centers of power like the banks. They did not know who owned the local paper. Or the radio stations. ~ Marge Piercy
Radio Stations quotes by Marge Piercy
I've made my records and I've done all the interviews. I've done lots of long tours. I've made stupid videos. I've done all that stuff and learned all the lingo and gone to radio stations and shmoozed with DJs on the air and met retail people. ~ Frank Black
Radio Stations quotes by Frank Black
I was in the Midwest, and the rain was all I had left of Camilla's goodbye kiss. Raindrops on the windshield, radio stations fading in and out. Cornfields bleak in all those gray, wide-open reaches. I had said goodbye to her once before, but it took everything I had to say goodbye to her then, again, for the last time, like poor Orpheus turning for a last backward glance at the ghost of his only love and in the same heartbeat losing her forever: hinc illae lacrimae, hence those tears. I suppose nothing remains ~ Donna Tartt
Radio Stations quotes by Donna Tartt
I wanted to see if you could put a prototype radio station on the Internet so you wouldn't have to invest $50 million or $100 million or $150 million to buy a transmitter and a frequency. ~ Tom Leykis
Radio Stations quotes by Tom Leykis
there's nothing wrong with ads. It's how newspapers and radio stations and Tv channels pay the bills and turn a profit. But please stop the bullshit about the "conversations". ~ Massimo Moruzzi
Radio Stations quotes by Massimo Moruzzi
I didn't know that there were any radio stations in Nova Scotia. ~ Elvis Presley
Radio Stations quotes by Elvis Presley
While he originally sang about 'a coloured boy named Johnny B. Goode', under pressure from white-owned radio stations Berry changed the lyrics to 'a country boy named Johnny B. Goode'. As ~ Yuval Noah Harari
Radio Stations quotes by Yuval Noah Harari
Every time I meet people working in radio, I'm a little embarrassed. It's all pre-programmed, rigidly formatted stuff. Time and time again, when I talk to jocks, they say how jealous they are of the freedom we have on WKRP. I sometimes have to explain to them that it's not a real radio station. ~ Howard Hesseman
Radio Stations quotes by Howard Hesseman
Usually it's lyric first, but sometimes it's melody. And I carry a hand-held recorder everywhere I go so I can just hum or whistle a melody if one hits me. Sometimes it's both simultaneously - lyric and melody at the same time - those are a little confusing to me, but sometimes it comes in that form. I just feel like I have my own little radio station and sometimes the static clears and something beams in from out there. ~ Hal Ketchum
Radio Stations quotes by Hal Ketchum
Writing is not work. In fact, there's nothing better. Writing is something that if the music business went completely away tomorrow - radio stations quit existing and music quit being popular and it was old hat - I would still write songs. ~ Toby Keith
Radio Stations quotes by Toby Keith
Sometimes at midnight, in the great silence of the sleep bound town, the doctor turned on his radio before going to bed for the few hours' sleep he allowed himself. And from the ends of the earth, across thousands of miles of land and sea, kindly, well-meaning speakers tried to voice their fellow-feeling, and indeed did so, but at the same time proved the utter incapacity of every man truly to share in the suffering that he cannot see. "Oran! Oran!" In vain the call rang over oceans, in vain Rieux listened hopefully; always the tide of eloquence began to flow, bringing home still more the unbridgeable gulf that lay between Grand and the speaker. "Oran, we're with you!" they called emotionally. But not, the doctor told himself, to love or to die together
and that's the only way ... ~ Albert Camus
Radio Stations quotes by Albert Camus
Sometimes they just sit. Sometimes one turns on a radio and they listen to music, or to the news, but they don't care about the actual news, just that the radio is issuing a steadyish sound whose particulars they do not have to follow to understand what the radio is actually telling them: life is being lived. No need to be a part of it as long as you know it's streaming. ~ Rachel Kushner
Radio Stations quotes by Rachel Kushner
John Kennedy won the first televised presidential debate among those watching it, while Richard Nixon won among those listening on the radio. ~ Susan Estrich
Radio Stations quotes by Susan Estrich
It seems to me that it had no other rationale than to show that we are not simply the country of entertainers, but also that of engineers and builders called from across the world to build bridges, viaducts, stations and major monuments of modern industry, the Eiffel Tower deserves to be treated with consideration. ~ Gustave Eiffel
Radio Stations quotes by Gustave Eiffel
Dark Water was one of my favourite films to shoot because of Walter. I had seen the previous films he had directed, Central Station and Motorcycle Diaries, and I thought they were great. I really trusted him. ~ Jennifer Connelly
Radio Stations quotes by Jennifer Connelly
I lived through those books, songs, television shows, and movies - the way the characters talked, looked, acted. I thought that could translate over into reality, that I could make their world my world. I wanted so badly to run away from my life. But you can't bury yourself in other people's pages and scenes. You aren't David Copperfield or Tom Sawyer. Those love songs on the radio might speak to you, but they're not about you or the person you pine for. Life is not a John Hughes film. ~ Jason Diamond
Radio Stations quotes by Jason Diamond
The planets in their station list'ning stood. ~ John Milton
Radio Stations quotes by John Milton
Want and sickness are too common in many stations of life to deserve more notice than is usually bestowed on the most ordinary vicissitudes of human nature. ~ Charles Dickens
Radio Stations quotes by Charles Dickens
Whatever happens, the flame of the French resistance must not be extinguished and will not be extinguished. Tomorrow, as today, I will speak on Radio London. ~ Charles De Gaulle
Radio Stations quotes by Charles De Gaulle
The reporting I did was mostly entertainment or lifestyle. I took a very different approach than most reporters. I approached it more casually than you would think a reporter would. Now I'm a morning radio personality, and radio is really casual. ~ Eleanor Mondale
Radio Stations quotes by Eleanor Mondale
I'd like to do radio just like pictures - leave the imperfect stuff on the cutting-room floor. ~ Al Jolson
Radio Stations quotes by Al Jolson
Conservatives don't want to read good, smart books. They mostly want to read Fox and talk radio hosts writing about presidents. ~ Alex Pareene
Radio Stations quotes by Alex Pareene
It's a great feeling to be recognized by your peers. It's an even better feeling to be welcomed and accepted by country radio and its listeners. If desire is any part of this equation, then I'm a contender! ~ Chely Wright
Radio Stations quotes by Chely Wright
Being on TV in front of people is a lot different than sitting in a dark room with a microphone. When I had my radio show, I was on four hours a day for 20-something years. If you put a live microphone in front of Mother Teresa for that amount of time, she'd piss somebody off. ~ Wendy Williams
Radio Stations quotes by Wendy Williams
I'd get up in the morning, get ready to go to school, and I would dread it. I hated it. My mother would have the radio on. And the guy on the radio sounded like he was having so much fun. And I knew, when his program was over, he wasn't going to go to school. ~ Rush Limbaugh
Radio Stations quotes by Rush Limbaugh
{President] Kayibanda's government [in Rwanda] continued the persecution against the Tutsis and began to make use of the media it controlled to launch a propaganda campaign against us. In a country where more than half the people cannot read or write and very few have televisions, radio is the dominant media. The fact that some newspapers were still printing the truth didn't matter much to the part of the population that couldn't read.

Most of the literate people were already politically aware. While an educated person might question what they read or hear from the media, the uneducated tend to accept it. The uneducated are more easily affected by threats and the emotional trauma that propaganda like this can create. ~ John Rucyahana
Radio Stations quotes by John Rucyahana
And as Craig Brown - he's an English humorist, not a comedian but he's just a writer and humorist - I'm quite a fan of. I heard him talking in a rather similar way on the radio. He said I'm the sort of person - I can't remember exactly what he said, but it was rather interesting - he said I'm the sort of person that can be reduced to tears in an empty church and feel like I'm the CEO of the Devil's organization in a full one, and I tend to feel like that as well. I love empty churches and going into them looking around, but I'm not a churchgoer at all. ~ Nick Lowe
Radio Stations quotes by Nick Lowe
Rumors that the sun is out at Santa Ynez are without foundation, the radio said. ~ John Brunner
Radio Stations quotes by John Brunner
And I ... started off dumb, raised by the hoodrats, listen to the radio wishin that i could rap. ~ Tupac Shakur
Radio Stations quotes by Tupac Shakur
The cosmic game changed forever in 1992. Before then, logic told us that there had to be other planets besides the nine (if you still count poor Pluto) in our solar system, but until that year, when two astronomers detected faint, telltale radio signals in the constellation Virgo, we had no hard evidence of their existence. ~ Thomas Mallon
Radio Stations quotes by Thomas Mallon
We cannot negotiate with people who say what's mine is mine and what's yours is negotiable.
[ The Berlin Crisis: Radio and Television Address to the American People (The White House, July 25, 1961)] ~ John F. Kennedy
Radio Stations quotes by John F. Kennedy
I was at the radio station all the time and on the air all the time. I met John Travolta and a lot of the other big '70s icons. Shaun Cassidy sang 'Da Do Ron Ron' to me onstage. I thought I was a rock star; I had an all-access-pass childhood. ~ Amy Landecker
Radio Stations quotes by Amy Landecker
I'd rather work on my radio show, which no one hears but I put about eight hours of programming and writing into it for those 30 people who do tune in. ~ Henry Rollins
Radio Stations quotes by Henry Rollins
An alternative - and better - definition of reality can be found by naming some of its components: air, sunlight, wind, water, the motion of waves, the patterns of clouds before a coming storm. These elements, unlike 20th-century office routines, have been here since before life appeared on this planet, and they will continue long after office routines are gone. They are understood by everyone, not just a small segment of a highly advanced society. When considered on purely logical grounds, they are more real than the extremely transitory lifestyles of the modern civilization the depressed ones want to return to.If this is so, then it follows that those who see sailing as an escape from reality have their understanding of sailing and reality backward. Sailing is not an escape, but a return to and a confrontation of a reality from which modern civilization is itself an escape. For centuries, man suffered from the reality of an Earth that was too dark or too hot or too cold for his comfort, and to escape this he invented complex systems of lighting, heating and air conditioning.Sailing rejects these and returns to the old realities of dark and heat and cold. Modern civilization has found radio, television, movies, nightclubs and a huge variety of mechanized entertainment to titillate our senses and help us escape from the apparent boredom of the Earth and the Sun, the wind and the stars. Sailing returns to these ancient realities. ~ Robert M. Pirsig
Radio Stations quotes by Robert M. Pirsig
In 1955 flying was much more dangerous than it is now, but there was a party atmosphere aboard long flights and everyone enjoyed the ever-flowing drinks and food. Smoking was the norm and it didn't take long before the cabin was full of smoke. The stewardesses were friendly and I can remember some that were very friendly.

I don't remember much about my time in Lisbon because, before I knew it, we were in the air again heading south across the ocean to the vastness of the North African desert. The light yellow sand under us in Morocco and the Spanish Sahara was endless. The fine sand went from the barren coastal surf and endless miles of beautiful beaches, inland as far as the eye could see.

After a time I saw what I believed, at the time, to be a radio relay station located out on a desolate sand spit near Villa Bens. It was only later that I found out that it was Castelo de Tarfaya, a small fortification on the North African coast. Tarfaya was occupied by the British in 1882, when they established a trading post called Casa del Mar. This forgotten part of the world is now in the southern part of Morocco. ~ Captain Hank Bracker, "Seawater Two...."
Radio Stations quotes by Captain Hank Bracker,
Most of the time, I feel like a total fraud. Like I have no idea how I've made it this far without the world figuring out that I have no idea what I'm doing or that I'm relying on some sign or the fact that I glanced at the clock at 11:11 or the fact that Paul McCartney's "With a Little Luck" was playing on the radio when my alarm woke me up to give me a little extra confidence that "we can make this whole damn thing work out." This "whole damn thing" being my life. ~ Caprice Crane
Radio Stations quotes by Caprice Crane
