All we had in those days was Radio Luxembourg, because the BBC (and establishment) thought pop music was sinful.

Thankfully, it was!!
Murry the K gave us the background music for 'submarine race watching!' That's when you and your date park down by the beach and 'watch the submarine races.' At least, that's what you told your parents you were doing parked at the beach.

Then came the 'Pirate' stations (ships in the north sea) Caroline, Radio London etc. which the UK government tried (unsuccessfully) to Outlaw & jam. Quite a few US Dj's on them.

"Those were the days, my friend. We thought they'd never end..." Let's raise our glasses to a misspent youth. We wouldn't be who we are today if we weren't who we were then. There isn't too much I would have done differently despite the trials and tribulations later on.
