"Saturday at the 70's"
When I started working at Mimi's and specifically working every Saturday of my life, I was introduced to "Saturday at the 70's" on Madison's Magic 98.1. At that time, I knew no 70's songs, and honestly listening to them EVERY SINGLE SATURDAY annoyed me. Sometime, however, over my almost five years at Mimi's, I fell in love with "Saturday at the 70's." Now, I miss my 70's music if I don't hear it regularly (like EVERY SINGLE SATURDAY. Yes, it sucks knowing I've worked almost every Saturday of the year for the past five. One summer, I counted my Saturday's--I worked 10 of the 12, and the 2 I didn't work I was in Florida on a missions trip).
I now know all the 70's songs, and I hum and sing along with them. The 70's one hit wonder juke box, yup, I sing along with them, and those 70's soundtrack rewind which usually are one the Saturday Night Fever songs. Yeah, BeeGees! I haven't a clue who sings the songs and the names of the songs though since Magic 98.1 doesn't normally announce the singer, but hey, at least I know the songs. Christmas is always hard because I'm deprived of my 70's music. But the Christmas season leaves, and I get to listen to it again.
Now, I've lost my job, and I can already hear that my new job (at a grocery store) doesn't play the local pop station, and they have no 70's music. I've, only worked at the grocery store one day, and I'm already in withdrawal.
