Here's to the magic of Wikipedia...
The last couple days I've been replaying a Runrig album that contains a verse about listening to the radio, "settled down with Caroline as she sailed all summer long". It didn't make sense as a reference to a woman, but I couldn't figure it out.
-Saw this thread, looked up ZZ Top on Wikipedia.
-Linked through to "border blaster" from the ZZ Top article.
-Linked to XERB from the border blaster article.
-Linked to Wolfman Jack from the XERB article.
-In the Wolfman Jack article there is a mention of Radio Caroline, a pirate radio station that broadcast from a ship in international waters into Britain (where Runrig originated) during the 60's and again in the 70's through the present.
Love those rabbit trails.
