If I Could Turn Back Time

Okay, the new, much-discussed Apple Nano is finally going to feature an AM/FM radio and allow live pausing. So what would I go back to hear, if I could?
* The weather forecast, of course. But the thing I miss on the radio most often, the relevant part of the traffic report, will remain lost to me until there's finally similar technology on my car radio.
* The scream at the end of the bridge on "Out Of Touch" by Hall & Oates (and a lot of similar great passing moments in records that inevitably take place when you're suddenly in a conversation).
* The guitar solo in "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat" by Herman's Hermits.
* The elusive news headline that is all over the radio, but not at the moment you punch in looking for it. Once I heard the news of Michael Jackson's death, it still took a while to come across the right station talking about it at the right time.
* At least an hour or so of WCLX Burlington, Vt., the super-eclectic deep-cuts Triple-A that reportedly changed format yesterday. (Assuming that were actually possible.)
