Dr. Rhino's Picks #116

1981 was an action-packed year! The Dodgers won the World Series, the Pope got shot, and American Airlines introduced “frequent flyer miles” (much to the chagrin of the air traffic controllers). Wait, there’s more! 1981 is also the year that Charles & Di got married, Sadat got shot, and we started making babies in test tubes. And, if that weren’t enough, 1981 saw the launch of the Post-It note, MS-DOS, and MTV! Whew! I need a nap. (BTW, here’s some music.)

A young Dr. Rhino first encountered the magic of song whilst being born in the front seat of a Lincoln Continental. As the attending physician recalls, the tune was “Touch Me In The Morning” by Diana Ross. It was a mind-blower. Over the years, Dr. Rhino listened to many, many more songs. And, after several summers of diggin’ music, making the scene & a stint in Attica, the good doctor joined Rhino Records. A remarkable career of taste & empathy ensued. Dr. Rhino now spends his time hitting bull’s-eyes, making it rain and assembling playlists for you.(Yes, you!)
