Re: A Small Change Might Help WJR, Cumulus Ratings

The Progressive ad with the anncr warning what can happen when you become your parents and obsess over your lawn is funny, and it doesn't make me dislike the sponsor. Like the Jamie ad does. What a HORRIBLE piece of radio advertising, that makes me wonder what went on between the ears of folks at th...

Re: Tigers radio replays starting Monday night

They're on the 97.1 web site. Too many to copy and paste. Many are post-season games from 2011-12-13.

Re: Tigers radio replays starting Monday night

The Indians' flagship station, call letters WWWE at the time, re-played the 1948 World Series. Indians vs Boston Bra...

Re: Coronavirus Playlist

Simon and Garfunkel, "I Am A Rock." The last verse.

The Rascals "Good Lovin.'" Its plot line is the singer feeling bad, not knowing what he has, and going to Mr. MD for the cure.

Re: Coronavirus Playlist

"Ain't Misbehavin.'" No one to talk to, no place to go. The whole song is about self-isolating.

"Stand Or Fall" by The Fixx, while not mentioning doctors or illnesses, does seem to fit the general mood of the times.

Bobby Vee "Stayin' In." Carol Douglas "Doctor's Orders." The Buchanan Brothers "Medicine Man." And a Ray Stevens favorite. If only you could buy some of these pills. They apparently cure everything :)

Weren’t they on a 10 watt college station back in the 70s?
The first 16 games of 1978 were on KALX (90.7 U-C Berkeley. 10 watts at the time). Curt Flood was the radio analyst. MC Hammer, Stanley Burrell at the time, was on the broadcast production crew.

Re: Misheard Song Lyrics

"Amos Moses" by Jerry Reed: I thought Amos lived "forty-five minutes southeast of Tippytoe Louisiana." The correct town is "Thibodeaux" pronounced with a Cajun French accent. I never noticed that until today. After seeing all the curiously named towns in the US South, on maps and on road trips, "Tip...
