And a particularly chatty AL backannounce. Ah, radio memories...

BOS-infinity Life of Brian --> "Bright Side of Life".

And the second censored version to show up in this set. You piece of shit son of a bitch.

However, Looking on the Bright Side of Life is a sentiment that Robin Williams might have gotten behind, so not a bad end for the set.

AL sez: Monthy Python/Eric Idle BOS; Hon Mention EC.

Hee.  I wouldn't expect "Shit" on the air, but "sonuvabitch" seems awfully tame to me.  But the Peak played the uncensored version of "A Boy Named Sue" recently and I was floored because you hear it so rarely..
