Blogging on the radio
Flags and Birthdays.
WMNF is 25 years old today. I’m gonna sprinkle in some birthday songs, and I’ll also be playing 3 or 4 “Track 25" songs - songs that just happen to be the 25th track on a CD. Call in during any of the “Track 25" songs and I’ll send you a present from MorningWood and WMNF. (Hint: check the online playlists if you’d like a cheat sheet.)
As for flags, well... the Rethuglicans in Washington are planning to introduce yet another flag desecration bill. Their plan is to force Democratic candidates to vote “against” the flag. In real life, of course, this bill would only serve to further restrict the very rights and freedoms that the jingoists would have us believe this country still stands for. So I’m gonna play a shitload of flag related songs.
During my planning, I came across populist Johnny Cash’s “Ragged Old Flag” as well as the popular Southern Fascist Charlie Daniels’ “Aint No Rag It’s a Flag.” We will have a little compare and contrast of CD and JC during the second hour this morning.
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. Sorry - no guarantees or refunds.
