Let's make a playlist: International DJ Day!

Hi! DJ John just announced that today is international DJ Day. What are your favorite songs that pay tribute to the transformative role of radio and DJs in particular? I know there are a few as I've made a playlist in my mind, but haven't gotten them on paper yet. Here's one to start:

Dar Williams, "Are you out there?"

"Perhaps I am a miscreation

No one knows the truth, there is no future here

And you’re the DJ speaks to my insomnia

And laughs at all I had to fear

Laughs at all I had to fear

You always play the madmen poets

Vinyl vision grungy bands

You never know who’s still awake

You never know who understands ..."

Here's to you all! 🥂
