I\u2019ve got one of them here on my computer.  They are looking for it in New York.  The other one we got.  One song, 1968, Sandy Posey, Born a Woman.  And there\u2019s all kinds of these songs out there.  The songs that just sent Gloria Steinem and the gals through the roof.  Wishin\u2019 and Hopin\u2019, by Dusty Springfield.  Now, the reason for that, this would be Dusty Springfield\u2019s 73rd birthday today.  I think her real name was Mary O\u2019Brien.  The Look of Love from the Thomas Crown Affair.  You Don\u2019t Have to Say You Love Me, which, by the way, they aired, they used in the first episode of Mad Men this year.  What a great tune.  &#8220;You don\u2019t have to say you love me; I\u2019ll never tie you down.&#8221;  Of course all lies, but still, what a voice.<\/p>\n<p>But Wishin\u2019 and Hopin\u2019, one of her first tunes in 1964, we\u2019re digging it out of the Grooveyard of Forgotten Favorites.  I want you to listen to this, 1964, for those of you who may never have heard this song in this audience. This was a hit, this was a huge hit in 1964 from Dusty Springfield.

Now, I was 13 when this song hit.  And I knew when I was 13 I wanted to be in radio.  In 1964, I was three-year, four years away from my first job in radio.  So now that\u2019s that.  Mike, see if you can find the Syndicate of Sound, Hey, Little Girl.  We gotta do the male version of this.  We\u2019ve got the biggest Grooveyard of Forgotten Favorites.  But first, now, here\u2019s a different spin on it.  This is 1968, and this is Sandy Posey, the daughter of Jim Posey. <\/p>\n<p>(playing of song) <\/p>\n<p><BR\/><emphasize>It makes no difference<\/emphasize><\/line><BR\/><emphasize>If you\u2019re rich or poor<\/emphasize><\/line><BR\/><emphasize>Or if you\u2019re smart or dumb<\/emphasize><\/line><BR\/><emphasize>A woman\u2019s place in this old world<\/emphasize><\/line><BR\/><emphasize>Is under some man\u2019s thumb<\/emphasize><\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Listen to it, listen to it. <\/p>\n<p>(continued playing of song) <\/p>\n<p><BR\/><emphasize>And if you\u2019re born a woman<\/emphasize><\/line><BR\/><emphasize>You\u2019re born to be hurt<\/emphasize><\/line><BR\/><emphasize>You\u2019re born to be stepped on<\/emphasize><\/line><BR\/><emphasize>Lied to, cheated on<\/emphasize><\/line><BR\/><emphasize>And treated like dirt<\/emphasize><\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Hurt, not heard. <\/p>\n<p>(continued playing of song) <\/p>\n<p><BR\/><emphasize>Ah, if you\u2019re born a woman<\/emphasize><\/line><BR\/><emphasize>You\u2019re born to be hurt<\/emphasize><\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Again that\u2019s hurt, not heard. <\/p>\n<p>(continued playing of song) <\/p>\n<p><BR\/><emphasize>A woman\u2019s lot is to give and give<\/emphasize><\/line><BR\/><emphasize>And go on giving<\/emphasize><\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: And give some more. <\/p>\n<p>(continued playing of song) <\/p>\n<p><BR\/><emphasize>A woman\u2019s got to love and lose<\/emphasize><\/line><BR\/><emphasize>And go on living<\/emphasize><\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/><emphasize>Well, I was born a woman<\/emphasize><\/line><BR\/><emphasize>I didn\u2019t have no say<\/emphasize><\/line><BR\/><emphasize>And when my man finally comes home<\/emphasize><\/line><BR\/><emphasize>He makes me glad it happened that way<\/emphasize><\/line><BR\/><emphasize>Because to be his woman<\/emphasize><\/line><BR\/><emphasize>No price is too great to pay<\/emphasize><\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  No price.

If you remember Snerdley back about 23 years ago.  So that\u2019s 1968, I was 17 then, you can imagine the modern era of feminism, literally two years later, one, two years later sprung up.  And oh, gosh, big changes.  I\u2019ll tell you when I knew it.  Well, this is too inside baseball esoteric.  No, I\u2019ll tell you.  On Saturday mornings I had to take our remote turntable and broadcast equipment and go to Sears and do a couple hours of a radio show from Sears. One day the program director got the idea &#8212; \u2019cause I was in high school &#8212; to bring couple high school girls in and have a discussion about something.  I\u2019m still taking orders back in those days.  And one of the high school girls that showed up started talking about women\u2019s lib. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m 18 and I\u2019m hearing militancy, and she was one of the most popular girls.  This was not some angry, you know&#8230;  One of the big clique.  And I wasn\u2019t smart enough to realize, I just thought, &#8220;Ah, well.&#8221; I didn\u2019t know what I was in the middle of then, but it didn\u2019t take me long to figure it out.  I was a junior, senior in high school, and this girl was angry, she was ticked off. I\u2019d never heard anything like this before.  So at the time I didn\u2019t know what she\u2019d been reading.  Anyway, I can\u2019t find the Syndicate of Sound, Hey, Little Girl, but it\u2019s the male version of what\u2019s expected to go along with Sandy Posey and Dusty Springfield.  Dusty Springfield\u2019s real name was Mary O\u2019Brien, and she would have been 73 years old today. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019m just sitting here listening to Under My Thumb by the Rolling Stones. That\u2019s from, I think, \u201964-\u201965. I got fired for playing that song. One of my seven or eight times of being fired was for playing that song too often in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, at WIXZ. I really got fired. I got fired for violating the program format by playing that song too often in the rotation. It was an oldies format. I just liked the song and I got canned for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I\u2019m looking for a couple of hits here from the past.
