My dream is to work in radio, and thankfully over the majority of my life, I've had the opportunity to to just that.
In fact, I would say that I have been a DJ in one form or another most of my life.
My first DJ gig was at a roller rink. I worked at USA south, behind Southern Plaza in Indianapolis.
Next came a job at an under 21 club on Indy's south side. It was part arcade-part dance floor. I remember Henry Lee Summer coming to play one night. It was a bad situation for me as I was a major video game addict. OK so I still am, however...
One game at that under 21 club pretty much sucked all my money down the tubes: Dragon's Lair.
It was the first video game that used a laserdisc and you had to 'control' the hero to make it through.
In reality you 'guessed' what Dirk The Daring would do, and would move the joystick or press the button at the right time.
I loved that game. I think I even asked my boss at the time to pay me in quarters, rather than go through all that nonsense of taking the time to go to the bank and cash a check. All that time took away from my actual playing of the game!!
Next: My Army Years.

I didn't even know there *was* a USA South. Growing up, it was always East and West, and we always went to East, not that I could skate, then or now. Anyway, just wanted to comment!
