I remember back in the early 80s, I guess it was '82, on Mothers' Day, our local rock radio station had a 'Rush Block Party Weekend'. If they played two Rush songs in a row and you were the 1st caller, you won a $100 and a complete Rush music catalog. Well, I was listening to the radio doing some house chores, and I heard a Rush song follow another one, so I dialed...and won!

So, I was all excited and happy and stuff, but I got back to work on the chores. A couple of hours go by and I hear a Rush song follow another Rush song, again. So I dial in and...win AGAIN! But they had some rule about the same person not being eligible, so I got my foster sister real fast and had her talk to them. I dragged her with me when we went to pick up the two Rush catalogs and the $200, and I gave her $50 of it.

Considering I live in a pretty populated city, I was amazed to win even once, but twice in two hours, that was just crazy lucky. And since that day, I've tried to win lotsa other radio stuff, but have never won a thing again. I think I used up my entire lifetime of radio call-in luck on that one day.
