There is definitely an "extra" pleasure in hearing your favourite artists on the radio. Maybe it's the comfort of knowing the nation (or hospital!) is also listening to (or enduring) a song that has meaning to you.
Last Friday, on my way home from work Radio 2 played "Princess of the Night" by the mighty rock band Saxon. It was a request on a very middle of the road radio station and a track that I had never ever heard before on it.
I have the song in my collection, yet it bleeding well made the short journey home more bearable!!
So, requests aren't so bad!
PS I would never ring in but appreciate those who do!
