A funny thing happened on our way to writing a book.\u00a0 We stopped and changed direction.\u00a0 Last fall when Dave and I decided to write The Aging of Aquarius<\/em><\/strong> together, we said let’s write about anything that’s on our minds, then send the essays\/chapters to each other and email our\u00a0comments back and forth.\u00a0I figured that somewhere in there\u00a0we’d write\u00a0about how we both came from rock and roll radio to our new elder status, surviving the Summer of Love along the way.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n After we’d written for\u00a0a year,\u00a0we were about ready to call it done and then\u00a0we\u00a0realized we’d said very little about radio. Turns out we both feel our peers have covered radio pretty thoroughly in books and websites and neither of us feels compelled to go over it again. Radio weaves through our lives, but it’s just one of the threads in our story quilt.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n We’ve both made a living doing some unusual things, but we’re also part of something universal that’s way bigger than us.\u00a0 We’re caught up in the enormous migration from an historic then to an even more startling now. Another weekend just passed, featuring another batch of stories in the news about the tide of boomers about to swamp our current operating systems in America. The numbers of us arriving at the same place in life within the same few years are overwhelming.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
