A funny memory from early in the 2000s...
I was working at Life 102.5, the Christian radio station in Madison, WI. I used to do a request show during the noon hour. So, several times during that hour, I'd get to play a song for someone, and it was often for a special reason. Many people would dedicate songs for birthdays, anniversaries, or to encourage a friend. One afternoon, I took a call from a mom who told me a story about something that had JUST happened. She was laughing as she told me.
She said that they keep the radio on all day to help maintain a positive attitude in the house. Despite that, her 10-year-old son had gotten in trouble that morning, and he was sent to his room. I had just played FFH, Ready to Fly, and her son had hollered out from his room (somewhat angrily), "This song is MY song." She was chuckling at his spunk and then asked me for the lyrics to the song. I looked them up and started to read... then we BOTH cracked up laughing. The very first phrase is, "I've been here grounded far too long..." Smart kid, great sense of humor, AND I give him extra points for using Christian music to get his point across. Not sure if his mom let him off the hook, but it sure left me with a fun memory.
