"Mama Used To Say" Junior (1981)
Ever hear a song on the radio you haven't heard in decades and nearly completely forgotten about? And you just drop everything to rock out to it?
I once had this 45 too....Until someone "borrowed" it and I never saw it again. Jerk. I think an eBay purchase is due....

The Oso Landslide Disaster of 2014
I do not normally talk about tragedy on this blog. A fun pop culture nostalgia blog titled History's Dumpster really isn't an appropriate forum for that.
On Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 10:37 a.m., a massive landslide devastated the tiny unincorporated village of Oso, Washington. With 26 confirmed dead and 90 still missing as of this writing.
Oso, Washington is located between the small towns of Arlington and Darrington on the north fork of the Stillaguamish River in north Snohomish County, near the Skagit County line in northwest Washington State. I've been through Oso several times and while the place looks very sparse (it's only retail is a tiny general store, with a lumber mill and some farms), it's population is near 200. Over half are missing or dead. And no picture can do this justice |
What I do want to talk about is how you can help. The recovery effort needs your help. And so does Oso.
Here's how.
