Sometime during December 31st, 1989, I was a young kid watching CNN Headline News when I saw a newspiece that totally rocked my young world. It seemed that on January 1st, 1990, a new radio station would come to life. Now, a new radio station is not really noteworthy news, except this was The All Stairway to Heaven radio station. That's right, folks, nothing but Stairway to Heaven played 24 hours a day! When I heard it, I was amazed, to say the least!
There is mystery to be solved here, though. I look through the internet, I've asked other people, and no one seems to know about this radio station. There is only one mention of it on the internet, and that's as part of what apparently is a comedy sketch. We also have to take under consideration the fact that Stairway to Heaven, by Led Zeppelin, even though it is considered one of the best, if not best, rock song ever, and has been played on the radio millions of times in the United States alone, was never released as a single. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
Anyway, I've started to believe that it was all my imagination. That that newspiece was just a creation of a young mind.
Although there is the matter of my having recorded on VHS the moment I saw this weird event on CNN. Dare I search in that 18 year-old tape and check to see if I didn't imagine recording it, too?
