I remember the time before the internet, if you wanted to request a song on the Power Hour, you would actually have to write a letter and mail in your request. And in order to get your request approved, people would have to send in some ####ty art of the band and say how much they loved the Much Music VJ.

It was like real work. Nowadays, you just go online and tweet and "like" something... or if you are really ambitious, you send an email.

It's kind of embarrassing, but I mailed requests back when I was kid. I did some Napoleon Dynamite-like portrait of Erica Ehm to try to get them to play Fishbone and it worked.

I don't know what is more sad... that we did that, or that my kids will never know that experience.
