Ok, very weird thing happened on the way home from work tonight. I swear this is true. I was listening to Loveline and decided to switch the station cuz it was over (good enough reason I guess). So I switch it to 93.1 and they were doing their call letters. So I start humming the first few chords of "Slide" by Googoo Dolls (I think that's who sings it ... I hate that song) and what do you know, that song comes on. No biggie, happens all the time. So I think, "I should switch to 102.3, but I bet there's some Phil Collins song on or something." Now don't get me wrong, I think Phil Collins is great, but driving home at midnight requires some action. Anyway, I change the station to 102.3 and lo and behold, "True Colors" by Cyndi Lauper sung by Phil Collins is on. Cool. I dig the song, so I sing along until it ends.Some Richard Marx piece of shite comes on, so I consider changing to 106.3, but think, "Oh Lord, there's probably some shit Mariah Carey piece of crap on." But I switch to 106.3 just to test myself. They do the station ID thing and then "Without You" sung by Mariah (Ho) Carey comes on. I about peed myself laughing. I don't know what God is trying to tell me here. I think it might be that we need some better radio stations in this miserable valley. Or that I should call Dionne Warwick (or Latoya for that matter). No Bentent. Sorry.

Ladies and gentlemen, I shall now give you an example of the evils of self-programming. Now, I think Everybody Hurts, by R.E.M. is one of the most depressing songs in the English language. The only song that comes close to bringing me that down is Raining In Baltimore, by Counting Crows, and that's only because it's mentally attached itself to a certain girl. Anyway, I was walking my dinner date back out to her car, feeling somewhat bummed that she was leaving. All of a sudden, Everybody Hurts starts playing in the background. We said our goodbyes, and I started walking back to the house. In my mind, I started thinking about Everybody Hurts, and getting depressed. Then I started thinking about her leaving, and getting depressed. Then I started thinking about her leaving, then thinking about Everybody Hurts, and I just realized I'd locked myself into a loop. Every time she leaves, Everybody Hurts is going to start playing in the background, and I'm just going to whine like a kicked puppy. All of you ladies out there, stop thinking this is cute. It's not cute, this sucks ass! I was already smitten with her, now I'm just going to feel like crap whenever she leaves. Ugh. But, at least she likes Ben Folds Five.

I strongly encourage anyone who's going to DC, Worcester, Providence, or NYC to download and print one (the Word docs are recommended). At least at the DC show, I'll have a few hundred extras to pass out, and it'll be a really neat sight. All the instructions are on the image/document itself, and with any luck it'll work. I hope so, because all the subterfuge I'm going to engage in to get my damned tape recorder into the 9:30 Club better be worth it :) Speaking of which, does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can break the security at "the hardest club to bootleg"? I've already decided to wear cargo pants, which provide a pocket of ample size for the recorder (which is normal-size for an analog tape; sorry, no MD deck quite yet :) Shall I slip the doorman a Mickey Finn? Perhaps dress up as a 1920's cabaret songstress and try to flash some leg and distract him? Wear a really big hat? I feel like James Bond, but your suggestions are appreciated. And sorry about the massive cross-post. ~Dan ------------------------------ End of The Rockford Files V2 #185 *********************************
