	FM was big long before that; big in the sense of many stations,
even if it didn't have the kind of audience share it has today. But, to
get back to AOR (album-oriented rock) specifically...

	AOR is older than that. Started in the late 60s. In LA, where I
lived, I believe the late lamented KPPC was the first, going to AOR
format in 1967 or 1968, but I got a hunch the Bay Area was ahead of us.
We used to call it "underground rock" (god knows why; nothing
underground about it). Incidentally, the first straight-through play of
a rock album I ever heard on the radio (both sides, no commercials) was
"Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", right after its release
(1967), on KPFK, LA's Pacifica station. Elliot Mintz was the DJ,
recently arrived from NYC, and was doing a mostly-talk show that became
more and more musical as time went on.

	Another minor historical note: the "PPC" in KPPC stood for
Pasadena Presbyterian Church, who owned the station. Us freaks got a
small kick out of the fact a church-owned station was a rock 'n roll
pioneer.

I should have realized I'm probably out of synch with normal human beings
on this one.  In fact, I *don't* enjoy back rubs very much.  Oh, every
once in a while they're really nice, but at any given moment I'm not
very likely to want or enjoy one.  Maybe I'm just too fidgety.  I'd just
rather do something a little more physically active than receiving a back
rub, generally.  They make me feel pinned down.  OK, so I'm weird.
Giving them is fine, but I've tried receiving them plenty of times, with
a variety of techniques, and unless I'm in just the right mood, they're
just not my thing.  So maybe I was letting my personal tastes interfere
with my opinions of what other people might like.  Do whatever works.

I suppose you're right.  Again, I was probably extrapolating way too much
from my own reactions.  I don't feel like my own reaction to backrubs,
which depends more on the mood I'm in than how I feel about the person
I'm with, and is generally neutral to negative, is a very reliable guide
to my physical reaction to the other person.

>I get plenty of physical feedback from feeling her muscles relax.

See above.  (Though I do want to add that it's nice to be able to see
someone's face, which is difficult with backrubs.)

Good advice, Julie.  This works.  If it's really going to happen, you'll
probably feel a little bio-magnetic force that is pushing your hand into
the Potential Holding Arena.  I you're out to dinner together, the arena
will magically form between the plates of your main dishes and the
glasses of wine/beer/coca-cola.  After you're finished eating and begin
to leisurely sip your respective beverages, the hands will be in a
perfect position to wander to the center of the table (the arena) after
each time that you put the glass down.  Eventually, your hands will
find themselves close enough to be influenced by the near-range
bio-magnetic force that will mystically link your glass-cooled hands
together.  When this happens, it's a good time to say 'yes!' to
dessert.

If you're really lucky, you'll walk out of the restaurant hand in hand,
she'll say 'let's go for a walk' and then you'll find yourself in a
little empty plaza in the dark where she'll grab you and start giving
you a mouth vacuuming you'll never forget.  Let her know that you're
enjoying yourself by saying 'mmmmmmm'.

   Right.

   Doesn't the word dishonest imply an intent to deceive?  If I
agree to meet someone, but the train I'm on is taken out of service
and I have to wait for another one, and thus show up late, I don't
really see that I'm intentionally deceiving someone.

   There are a lot of unspoken assumptions about arrangements like
that.  When you say you're gonna meet someone, the fine print
includes such things as "if I'm not delayed, that is" along with
notification clauses.

Believe it or not, pants were called "feminalia" by the
Romans about 2000 years ago because they were originally
designed for women. 

RealMen[TM] wore togas, FYI.
Germans and other northern barbarian men were considered
effeminate BECAUSE they wore pants instead of dresses.

Of course there are. I enjoy oldies because they have an energy that 
today's muck just doesn't capture. I won't give you an ugly list, but 
I enjoy rock, blues, and rhythm and blues from the 'fifties and earlier.

Jazz from the 'twenties really works for me, just like classical music.
And BTW, I was born in 1964...
