Re: Greta Van Fleet wins Grammy

Persecution Smith-Bob Seger

This time WPAG, WTAC, and CKLW all added this within a week of each other. WKNR waited another week to add it. WTRX waited another week or so.

Re: Greta Van Fleet wins Grammy

1966 Bob Seger Tear Jerker. East Side Story on Hideout Records. First played and charted on WTAC Big 600. Three months before WKNR Keener 13. The WKNR chart appearing before WTAC on ARSA is a YEAR END CHART, not a weekly chart. It would normally be dated for 66-12-31, not 66-00-00 to avoid confusion...

Re: Hell, Michigan & back

How is this a Flint story? Pinckney is much closer to Ann Arbor.

Now Parshallville I can see. Even though it's not all there, being Parshallville. Get it?

Even though both are outside the County Lines of the FSB Market.

Re: Who sang it best: "Don't Turn Around" Edition

Connecting The Dots. "Don't Turn Around" was cowritten by Albert Hammond and Diane Warren. Albert Hammond's first big hit, written with Mike Hazlewood, was "Gimme Dat Ding" by the Pipkins, in 1970. The lead vocal by Tony Burrows was an imitation of a combination of Arte Johnson on Laugh In and Wolfm...

Re: Songs with no lyrics to receive Top 40 airplay

Swingin' Safari-Bert Kaempfert

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6bsoyT86LE

Wasn't the Hot 100 hit, but the most famous version.

Bert was included in "One Week" by BNL.

Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits!

Re: Songs with girls/guys names in the lyrics, but not in the title

Against The Wind-Bob Seger Janie. Believed to be the girl he had an 11 year relationship with from 1972-1983. Don't know who else it could be, if it was at least partially autobiographical. There are other references to what was going on then. I've talked to Janie's former neighbors and they all thi...

Re: Trump Colluding With Ocasio Cortez To Interfere With 2020 Election

I would think that tunnels that would go 3000+ miles would be as unrealistic as Inter Solar System Travel at this point. If you believe they put a man on the moon, it's still unrealistic. But hey, it's a listenable track.

The New Environmentally Friendly AOCCPAP

The new Environmentally Friendly Alexandria Ocasio Cortez Continuous Positive Airway Pressure machine. Only a few problems so far.

1) You have to sleep outside.
2) You have to sleep in the daytime like a vampire.
3) It won't work on cloudy days.

2 mV/m Contour. 50 kW Class I-A station on 760 kHz. Should know all the names and pronunciations within that.

People in Wisconsin are even more intolerant of mispronunciations of their geographical names.

Re: Corona Road? Really.

Co Run Uh is the only way I've ever heard it pronounced. Back in the 1970s, WJR had a Friday Night High School Scoreboard Show. They had a new announcer from Ohio that had just started. The first two weeks or so, I listened to the mispronunciations for laughs. The one I remember best is Frank n muth...
