driving home
listening to
the detroit red wings hockey team
playing an international game in sweden
got distracted for a minute
thinking about something
soon realizing
i no longer heard the game
but was instead was now listening to
christmas music
on a station
that jumps into the holiday music early each year
a station
i didn’t have programmed in
didn’t flip to
an early christmas mystery/miracle/conspriacy perhaps?
did the wings somehow get beat out by santa?

The radio changing is definitely spooky. At least it didn’t broadcast Orson Welles’ War Of The Worlds instead of a Christmas song. :)
Best wishes, Pete.

It could have been any one- mystery, miracle, or conspiracy. I hope the Red Wings won. The Bruins are on fire this year, and bringing back old players in honor of their 100th year.

Many years ago, I picked up a radio station on my teeth fillings. It was the Lettermen singing “Out of My Head.” Very odd.

It was somewhere around 1971 on the way home from a gig in LA. I actually found it on the radio.

Bad enough that it all starts in October, if not before. There’s nothing special about something that annoys you for three or four months.

Santa can be kind of pushy, this time of year, so let’s go with that, better than gremlins in the radio.
