Famous Firsts with Sophia John

KIWR (89.7 The River)/Omaha
KTGL, 92.9 The Eagle, Classic Rock in Lincoln, NE. I worked overnights and the first song I played at 11:56pm was Carly Simon “You’re So Vain”. Second song I played at 12 midnight was, Carly Simon “You’re So Vain”! I wasn’t about to go off the log, it was my first gig!
INXS (Original Sin Tour) It was like a movie, there was smoke all over the room and INXS was everything you could ever dream them up to be. It was a perfect first show.
(New Order/Low-Life) Ok, I need to confess, my first record purchased was Eddie Grant’s “Romancing The Stone”, but that isn’t as cool as New Order which was actually my fourth purchase!
Live -Ed Kowalczyk made it a point to correct me when I said “The Live”…there is no “The” in the band’s name. I’ve never done that with another band since!
Too long ago for me to remember. Is that a good thing?!
