No way they'd do 10 Johns w/out "Imagine". I'd vote for "Power to the People" meself.  I kill to hear WITNOTW, tho'.  That barely got airplay when it was new, much less since.


How I forgot about "Imagine," I've no idea.  But I agree on "Power to the People."

P.S.  Been listening to "Walking on Thin Ice" a lot this week.  A Talking Heads cover of that would have been utterly fascinating.

They're doing a special Lennon tribute for this Thursday's Morning show (not necessarily 10@10).  Lot's of Beatles, John, covers, whatever.  And they say you can't try to "bust" them for playing a Beatles song that is actually a "Paul" song.

Anyway, they are asking for ideas and comments -- lennon@kfog.com.


I think they should go all John solo for 10@10 that day:

1. (Just Like) Starting Over
2. Stand By Me
3. Jealous Guy
4. Beautiful Boy (or God, if they're feeling saucy)
5. Whatever Gets You Through the Night
6. something confrontational: either John Sinclair or Woman Is the Nigger of the World
7. Instant Karma
8. Woman
9. #9 Dream
10. Watching the Wheels


No way they'd do 10 Johns w/out "Imagine". I'd vote for "Power to the People" meself.  I'd kill to hear WITNOTW, tho'.  That barely got airplay when it was new, much less since.


I'd drop How Do You Sleep in your #6 confrontational slot. Take that, Paulie.

Don't you mean "a 1974 interview with a long-lost John"?  That was his year of living dangerously ...

Anyone else get a package from KFOG in today's mail? I arrived home to find a copy of the recent Live From the Archives 12 cd in my mailbox along with a form letter, signed by DM, thanking me for my loyalty and all the usual "fogheads are great" line of bull. It must be a mailing to random registered fogheads--there are far too many Fogheads to send one to each--it would kill sales. Although maybe sales have stalled--the letter encouraged me to tell friends to go get a copy, or buy them as Xmas gifts.

Still, glad I didn't go buy a copy.

It's not new to this year -- KFOG sent me a CD under similar auspices in 2001 (Vol. 8).  Must be a random-luckies thing.  Embarrassingly, I see now that I never did open the CD from its cellowrap -- I must have figured I'd give it to someone as a gift, and just never got around to it.  D'oh!  :shock:

Here's CG's listener poll of the Top 40 Lennon tunes. "How Do You Sleep" made the cut (at #40), but no WITNOTW.  Nice to see "New York City" on the list - "que pasa, New York" indeed!

Been listening to WFUV via their iTunes channel, and they too are having a special tribute to John Lennon tomorrow, particularly during their morning show from 6 am to 10 am (ET) and during Dennis Elsas' (a former WNEW jock, right Mike?) afternoon gig, from 2 to 6pm (ET).

So you could listen to KFOG til 10@10 is done, catch Elsas' show til 3 PT and then switch over to CG for the Lost Interview.

Yes, Mr Elsas (along with Vin Scelsa and Pete Fornatale, who are also at 'FUV now) was at WNEW-FM during the Lennon vigil.  They played nothing but Beatles songs for something like 36 hours, in-between lengthy reminiscences by the deejays.  An amazing tribute to the power of radio to unite -- and something we'll never see again.  

When, in 1995, Jerry Garcia's death barely rated a mention on WNEW (even tho' it was still a rock station) many were quite angry at the slight, and it was considered a major sea-change, media-wise.

Hope y'all are listening to Dave's tribute to John this morning.  He obviously put A LOT of work into it & it's really fascinating.

Dave keeps saying not to cry, it's a celebration, but...

Coming over the hill this morning, when they started playing "Give Peace a Chance," the loss was so palpable, I teared up instantly, even though I was smiling and bopping whilst driving.

Definitely a far-above-average morning show. Dave's been mining his large resource of Beatles/Lennon clips, and lots of reminiscences and stories and the like. Yes, there's been a few tears, but mostly it's been a pretty sweet experience.

Very quiet here this morning--we had our holiday party last night, so I suspect absenteeism will be up today. <g>

ETA 9:43: Dave's got No. 9 Dream on, in case you haven't heard it enough yet.

That was the tune playing when I got in my car, teared me up too.  Yesterday they had this prolonged but quite interesting debate amongst the fogheads about the death penalty, and I couldn't help wondering if any of the adamantly pro death penalty fogheads who called in could actually conceive of John being in favor of it?
