Throwback Thursday

Talk about a Throwback Thursday relic!  Before Oprah was Oprah, she was just a reporter with huge TV aspirations.  When the future Queen of Daytime heard there was a morning show in Chicago that needed a new host, she stayed up all night long with an editor to prepare her audition tape...

Remember when MTV concentrated on playing actual music videos?  Me too.  And my all-time favorite series was Making The Video.  Nothing was better than going behind the scenes to see frame by frame how some iconic clips were set up, directed, and edited...

As much as I'm thinking about all the fun songs we're playing on SoJO for Throwback Thursday, I somehow couldn't get Weird Al Yankovic and his slew of parodies out of my head, we seem to share the same fascination for changes and mocking song lyrics...

From MC Hammer to the Spice Girls, we're revving up for another Throwback Thursday on SoJO!  We're looking back on a few classic videos to help paint the visual.  Got a Throwback Thursday request?  List it in the comment box below or hashtag is #SoJOTBT on Facebook and Twitter.

Do you remember when the Walkman was considered 'cutting age technology'? Wait, do you even know what a Walkman is????!!!!

We live for Thursday's at SoJO!  Tomorrow marks another Throwback Thursday.

I'm a Jem, I just know it.  If not, then definitely Rainbow Brite.

From SWV, to Montell Jordan, to Ricky Martin, we've got some awesome songs set to go for this week's Throwback Thursday thanks to your requests!  So what ol' school hits are on your wish list?  Jessica in Magnolia already requested some early NSYNC, and Mandy in Barnegat wants classic Britney.  We want to shout out to you too!

Matthew McConaughey could very well win his first Oscar this Sunday for Dallas Buyers Club.  Would you like to know what his FIRST role was?

Throwback Thursdays on SoJO have listeners saying 'That's my jam!' and 'Oh, no they didn't!'.  We're nostalgic for the songs that never seem to get played anymore just like you.  And we love a good excuse to break out some retro Christina Aguilera and BSB, and even Young MC and Cece Peniston.

It's Throwback Thursday.  And why should we be the only ones who have to be embarrassed by crazy old high school photos.  Oh noooo, we're getting the stars in on the action.  Here are some of my recent unearthings.
