Setlist 3/24-25/05

I owe everyone a big apology.

Last week's show was the first of the two Loose Logic Set fund drive shows. It was also the first show to officially wish KEOS a Happy 10th Birthday. I was hoping to sing happy birthday to KEOS, and then launch right into the midnight rant. This week's rant was cut short by a request to repeat the happy birthday song. Rants take quite a bit out of me. If I don't keep them going, then I just drop it. Last week's rant was, unfortunately, cut short. It's really too bad because I would have loved to have delved into the Schiavo Case a little bit more. I feel that I let the station down because there were no funds collected during this show. This is the first show that has ever happened to me. As a result, I got a little upset with you folks. I know I shouldn't have, but if KEOS is as big a part of your life as it is for me, then you'd be upset to know that for the 3 hours we were on the air last week there was nothing, zilch, zero, nada, and kaput! Anyway, please accept the apology of your kind and friendly Hippie From Mississippi.

That was quite possibly one of the hardest shows I've ever had to do...even the one when I was hung over was easier than this one because while I got no pledges, I got calls, but they were inconsistent requests, one for Dave Matthews and one for Foo Fighters. When I got the one for Dave Matthews, I thought it was my friend Frank pulling a prank. Foo Fighters, while they are a good band, do not fall anywhere near the genre of jam band or political rock that has become the brand of the Loose Logic Set. Dave Matthews on the other hand, could be considered in the jam band genre, but he's more custie, schwagg, frat boy side of the jam band universe. A black hole that I don't like to steer the show toward that much.

Lastly, I have a challenge to you, the listeners, for this week. Last week, one volunteer came in shortly after 1 am to drop off stuff from the party over at the 7F Lodge. I told this valuable friend of KEOS that I was kinda bummed that I didn't bring in any cash to the station, to which this person replied, "Well, Randy, look at your audience, they're a bunch of hippies, and hippies are notorious freeloaders." Are you gonna let someone get away with calling you that? I wouldn't if I were you. My challenge to you is to provide me with evidence to the contrary.

We can do this. You can do this!
