Hey WFMU fam! Excited to hear from Dave Gahan. Working at Bill's Records in Dallas back in the 80's we sold so much DM that we got access to hang with them fairly regularly. My ex was 18 years younger and I'd have to say things like, "before you were born we'd hang out with DM" (and didn't think they'd still be around decades later!)

Thanks, Julie! I started really thinking about that when Todd-o-Phonic Todd interviewed Louis Perez from Los Lobos. Todd was asking about Louis's sister being the music influencer in the family when he was growing up. Louie said he'd never been asked about that before. I was amazed that 50 years of journalists never asked about that.
