In like a lion, out like a lamb: Setlist for 3/31 > 4/1/05

Well folks, it was a great show. We made up for our losses from last week, but things could have been a whole lot more lucrative if you know what I mean. Local folks, if you pledged some support this past couple of weeks to a different show, then your pledge was "gratefully" appreciated. I can tell you that there are new engineering changes at the station all the time and it's always amazing to come in to see what's new this week. This thing is about to get big. That's my prediction and I'm sticking to it, and you can help realize this vision by calling in and pledging your support either tonight or tomorrow through midnight.

Unfortunately, everything they tell you about a pledge drive is difficult to apply to my show at the best of times. Forget short songs. Pitching is equally long winded, admittedly, because I care a lot about the station and I want to make sure that opinion is explicitly expressed. This station is one of the few pillars in my life that keeps me sane as an ultraviolet person in an infrared world (and if you got that, you are indeed a scholar and a gentleperson!), but just like what Jerry sang in Crazy Fingers, "But I try...oooohhh, I try!"

Anyway, onto this week's setlist.




Back to a regular schedule next week, time to get back to what the show was meant to be. Want to find out what that is? Then you'll have to stay tuned. Same bat time, same bat channel.

Correction: In the midnight rant, I said that Nigeria was the country that our faulty intelligence claimed had sold "yellow cake" uranium to Iraq. That should have been Niger. Please accept the humble apologies of your obedient servent.
