Growing up in Toronto in the 1970's, my transistor radio was always tuned in to local AM radio stations 680 CFTR and 1050 CHUM for all the latest rock and roll hits. Disc jockeys back then seemed to have much more personality ...

To me contentment was another word for laziness or resignation, an easy way out for those who were tired or afraid of striving for something more. Contentment was the enemy of progress; it was something to be avoided at all costs. Today I see ...
