This meme is called 2017 September's Where I Come From Challenge
This challenge is based on Kenny Chesney's song "Back Where I Come From". Suzanne over at PS-Annie! and McClendon villa has included home-and hometown-related questions to round out our 30 days of posts.
Come on and join in. It will be a blast.
Today’s question is:
29. Does your hometown have a newspaper? Does it come out daily, bi-weekly, weekly, or some other frequency? Does your hometown have its own radio station?
It does not, to the best of my knowledge, have a newspaper now. When we first moved to Iva, we had the Iva Journal. The county seat, Anderson, had several newspapers. The Independent and Daily Mail were just finishing a long merger.
We had no radio station, but the county seat had several. One was WANS AM/FM. Later, Anderson got WRIX, which was owned by a friend of ours, Matt Phillips.
When we had the Lion’s House Children's Home, I was interviewed on WRIX. Matt Phillips had died but the radio station continued. During the course of the interview, the disc jockey said something about Britney Spears. I said, “Oh yes, my daughters go to school with her.” The disc jockey tried to block the comment, but it went out to the entire county. I learned later that I was mistaken. They did have a friend named Britney, but not that Britney.
Was I embarrassed about it? No. I thought it was funny. When it comes to public speaking like that, I believe, “They can kill me but they can’t eat me, that’s illegal.”

That is funny about Brittney Spears :)
ReplyDeleteThe engineer at the station thought it was funny, too. He was laughing too hard to catch it before it went out over the air. I thought it was funny, too. I figured that anyone who knows me knows I am a goofball. Anyone who doesn't know me, doesn't care. Have a blessed week.
