Some of us remember the now defunct CHIC-AM in Brampton, "where the girls are." For a while they aired a staff of mostly female announcers to live up to their name and call letters.


And then there's this - I'm not saying it's right because I never believed it. But way back in the day, I had a PD who was absolutely convinced that you could never play two female artists back to back, insisting it was a proven tune-out. That doesn't mean he'd didn't play music featuring women. Just that there could never be two in a row. Obviously I never agreed with that but it wasn't the first time I'd heard that in music radio circles. 

I doubt this credo still exists but I've always wondered where that perception came from.  

So brave.

Back in the day, when I liked disco...(don't worry, I had my share of Alan Parsons Albums, Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream and Genesis Albums too), I would have totally been okay to here "You can ring my bell" followed by Labelle singing "Lady Marmalade".

Toronto needs more Janis Joplin and less Adele
