THANKS!

Thanks to all the loyal WMNF and MorningWood listeners who called in during WMNF’s recent marathon fundraiser for our new building. MorningWood continued a streak of making goal. In fact, MorningWood has never fallen short in any marathon. This time, the goal was shattered, and MorningWood was one of the best performing overnight shows. MorningWood listeners rock.

Blogging on the radio

Ouch - last week, due to technical errors on my part, I was unable to play any of the planned second hour songs. I’ve recycled most of those into this week’s show, including many of the protestrecords.com cuts.

This week marks the thirtieth anniversary of Richard Nixon’s resignation. I’ll mix in some songs for Dick after 5:00.

This morning’s rants should include comments on the Tampa City Council invocation scandal, now on FOXNews.com, in which 3 members decided that they couldn’t possibly treat an invited speaker as they themselves would wish to be treated. Their excuse? Why, they’re Christians, and their God is better than yours.

Fox’s fair and balanced report presents exactly one point of view: that the council members who walked out were more than justified because anyone who is an atheist must be crazy, and, besides, an invocation isn’t an invocation unless you invoke the name of the Christian god.

I’ll also touch on other issues of the day. Tune in and listen up.

Playlists

Each week, I bring my planned songs in on CD. I usually end up playing most or all of them in the planned order. But sometimes things go askew. (Like last week.) Sorry - no guarantees or refunds.
