Tom the backroads traveller hosts this weekly meme
May 2026 - Toronto ON
LOVE LOVE LOVE Queen and their songs.
"Radio Ga Ga"
Radio.
Radio.
I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
Franz Josef New Zealand
You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh, you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly.
Radio.

So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio, Radio.

All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you!
New York City NY
We watch the shows, we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years.
Edmonton AB
Let's hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around 'cause we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
Toronto ON
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio, Radio.

Great old radios!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great group and those old radios!
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is great collection of old radios! Actually, I think I might recognize one of those from my youth! haha. Thanks for sharing at Song-ography
ReplyDeleteMy parents had a similar one to the one in back, just something they'd picked up in an antique shop.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, imagine the stories those radios could tell.
ReplyDeleteLovely old radio
ReplyDeleteRemeber my childhood .
ReplyDeleteCool old radios!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I can't read the text in this post because it's too light, but I love all the photos. And YAY, of course I immediately recognized Edmonton's painted CKUA radio sign! CKUA is beloved here and still going strong, Alberta's oldest public radio station, supported by public donations and some limited government funding, I believe.
ReplyDeleteSorry, about that, I fixed it.
