Title: 17 Feb 2014: it's...President's Day!
Post by: CapnJack on February 17, 2014, 09:28:19 AM
Will there be a show today? If so, where will Renee take us today?

If not, what "classic" will be foisted upon us?

Wow -- creativity! I'm impressed! (But I'll have to bail about halfway thru)  early BOS: Lou Reed!

It's 10 Presidential Songs today on 10@10, but I think it may be recorded in advance.

Lou Reed leads off, The Day John Kennedy Died.

Stones, Sympathy for the Devil. The Kennedys get a mention, but kind of a stretch, don't you think?

Unless she can come up with 8 more songs that mention JFK, I think there's a good chance.
