In the latter 70s, the “I found it“ bumper stickers were popular. I bought a few that said “I lost it“ as a joke and to sell for a few pennies. Lucinda says she saw those bumper stickers and it was the genesis for her song. We're both from Lake Charles, FWIW.

I blame the "user friendly" Mac interface.    


I'm not sure what it looks like in other browsers, apps, O/S's, but on a PC I get a "filter/funnel" icon that shows a drop-down when you click it.  The slider is to the left of it.

Most people agree to a degree. But since segues are put together thoughtfully, this would make for some spotify-like juxtapositions and you'd be left thinking the robots have taken over.

So it won't happen but you're not alone.

Also, peoples' song ratings need to be sortable and/or clickable to go to the 1s without scrolling forEVER

When certain songs show up on any radio, I change stations or, in the case of Radio Paradise, bound across the room to click on NEXT. I'm not going to tell you what songs or why because I'm not looking for an argument. I'm pretty sure we all have songs like these that we can't stand listening to and it may or may not have to do with musical taste. Maybe the lead singer stole your girlfriend. Many people can't stand listening to such masters as Van Morrison and Eric Clapton for nothing other than their politics. There are some songs on regular rotation here that are like that for me and I'm betting you too. And I'm betting they are different songs.

The only thing stopping Radio Paradise from being the best station ever? A ZERO at the bottom of the ratings chart saying NEVER HEAR THIS SONG AGAIN. Problem solved as it should be, individually for each of us.
