  • Two things: Saw Root Boy at none other than the MARBLE BAR in the basement of the old Congress Hotel in Baltimore - and then the comment Washingtron! The first time I heard that song I almost crashed the car I was laughing so hard. "Tron" was truly the word for the 80s in so many ways!

  • Oh man do I remember HFS!! I remember that with Damion- not getting the new call letters down, lol! So I was jamming to Root Boy at work today and everyone was like WTF is THAT?!?!! I'm in Montana now, so they have NO clue about Root Boy or HFS or anything like that! You should've seen the faces when I next played James Brown 'Soulful Christmas'- LOL!!

  • @JerseyBach Amen!!

  • @richandemily

    Do you remember in the real early 80s when HFS briefly changed its call letters. Poor Damion kept losing the battle to remember the right letters, and by the time he got it straight, they were back to HFS. Oh, God, what a great station that was. At that time (early 80s) HFS was not only the main doorway to alternative music but also where so much local talent emerged: Bad Brains, Slickee Boys, Minor Threat, Tru Fax, Urban Verbs, Insect Surfers.

    Great song!

    You're making me pine for the old days.

  • ah the old ole days in the home town. 

  • @nauort23: The song you're thinking of is "Washingtron" by Tru Fax & the Insaniacs. I used to be a waitron in the lounge of the Hiltron. Now I work for my senatron and I live in Arlingtron...

  • @nauort23 I can remember the day HFS suddenly became a spanish speaking station. Although, after Damion left, it was never the same.

  • What the FUCK is this?

  • When WHFS ruled!!! Before the celebs and trendoids overran the nation's capital.  Does anyone else remember a DC hit about "WashingTRON/ArlingTRON" from the 80s?
