Highly doubt it.  There's not really a Rock or Adult Top 40 station in NYC anymore; nearly everything is either rap/hip-hop, Spanish/Latino, or college format.  Only way I'll hear Train is if I listen online.

Well, god knows I'm not gonna feel sorry for Train, but I figured Z-100 played its share of crossover singles, and I assumed a new Train single would be an instant-add at CHR.  Live'n'learn.

It seems like a crime to complain about Slaughter on 10th Avenue, but we hear it damn near every SI set these days (which themselves have been more plentiful in the last year or so).

You'll never hear it on the radio any other way.

I played "Last Night" at the beginning of my 9th grade science class, and started dancing.  They kinda dug it, but the air came out of the room when Zappa (I love PIR) came on.

2/17/06 - FRIDAY!  Today we are...Strictly Instrumental!!!

Rhythm Heritage - Theme From S.W.A.T.
Davie Allan & the Arrows - Blues Theme (Redux)
Jeff Beck - 'Cause We've Ended As Lovers
Booker T & the MG's - Time is Tight
Art of Noise - Close to the Edit
Mick Ronson - Slaughter on 10th Avenue
Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover
Markeys - Last Night
Zappa - Peaches En Regalia (BEST OF SET!!)
Pat Metheny - Last Train Home
BONUS TRACK:  Sonny Landreth - Son of Native Stepson

Z-100 only plays crossovers of a certain age range (think Fall Out Boy).  Train are too over-the-hill for the NYC radio demographic.

I'm proud of myself: I recognized the Art of Noise song as such even though I don't think I've heard it but once since the video was an MTV staple in 198-whatever.  BOS for novelty alone.

I didn't make any requests but if I had it would've been "Water Song," just 'cause I could stand to hear something that coolly relaxing.

I actually heard "Water Song" this morning; it's a KPIG staple, along with "Embryonic Journey".

Lamont Dozier, "Fish Ain't Bitin'"

Didn't Chicago do a song called "Harry Truman"?

Hair Original Cast, "Happy Birthday Abe-y Baby"

and the version of "George Bush Doesn't Care About Black People" is credited to the Legendary K.O.; is K-Otix a cover version, or a completely different song, or another pseudonym for the same artist?

"Tricky Dick, stop yo' shit!"  -- Gaz, have you ever seen Dick, the comedy about 2 ditsy teenage girls (Kirsten Dunst &  Michelle Williams Ledger) who get involved in the Watergate mess?  Hilarious, with a GREAT '70s cheezball sndtk.

Well, if we really were getting a Presiden't Day set (which we won't, it'll be a "classic" on Monday) Dave'd surely play Randy Newman, "Mr President".  I'd also suggest Cream, "Politician" , Tom Lehrer's "(Whatever Became of) Hubert", Phil Ochs, "Here's to the State of Richard Nixon", and Shona Laing's "Glad I'm not a Kennedy".  And yes, Chicago did "Harry Truman" -- does your question mean you've never heard it?  We must remedy that, if so.
