Actually they were on around 8:30.  The lead singer is very funny.

Piece on Bay Area morning DJ's.  Morey is called a "crank"; guess we all can be cranky some mornings:

I posted a comment there and said Dave was a "treasure", but i will say that he has had more than a few cranky mornings in the last few years. If you don't have a long history of listening to Dave regularly (I suspect the author of that blog doesn't) than you can't possibly put a couple of random mornings into the overall context of his 26 years on KFOG. Not to mention everything we've gleaned from *Dave's* blog!

ETA: I went back to read the comments that were posted after I posted mine... I can't believe the number of people who think Fernando & Greg on Energy 92.7 are "hilarious". Yeesh.

I find it hard to believe you let this line go, RGMike.   8)

Tim Hockenberry (today's "live'n'local" musical guest) closed the show with a rather nice cover of "Like a Rolling Stone". Tho' his voice is so Cockeresque-raspy he oughta be named Tim Hock-a-loogie...

Just a quick note that I met up with mshray at today's morning show broadcast in Walnut Creek.  Nice crowd, nice weather, nice show. Unfortunately in the photo that Morey took of the crowd, now on the KFOG Morning Show page, at the table behind the 3 ladies in black upfront, you can barely see mshray in his red fleece top and I was obviously away from my chair at that moment, either off to the left waiting to ask Romanowski a question on air, or inside getting more coffee. See http://www.kfog.com/morningshow
However, later Mark and I each got a pic with Morey, while he was trying to have a cig out back by the dumpster, and I got a pic with Romo. We'll try to get those posted for y'all.  A good time was had by all!

At this morning's broadcast we agreed that Hockenberry sounds like a combo of Marc Cohn and Tom Waits.  I spoke with him for a few minutes, he's from upstate NY, now lives in Mill Valley.

This is sad.  The 9 o'clock quiz this morning is "name that vice-president."  First foghead failed on the opener, who was Carter's vp?  Second foghead got Mondale, but failed on the second question, guessing Quayle as Reagan's vp. 

Sigh.

Sigh indeed. When you consider that Fogheads are smarter than American voters generally... it does not bode well. No wonder McCain's crap is working.

The winner was pretty good, however.  Or, very quick with google.

And the final question, who is the current vp:  he answered 'Satan' and got the win!

LOL!  Sorry I missed that.

I have to confess that I didn't know Mondale was Carter's VP.   ???

Not that surprising, considering your age.  I was having difficulty with Lyndon Johnson's vp (Humphrey), but I was under 10 years old then.

this is a database question, so I suppose it's directed to Mshray, but others may know the answer.   

While browsing, I found these two rows:


Date          Year/Them  Artist  Song
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
August 23, 2001   1971   Runt   We Gotta Get You A Woman
 April 12, 2002   1970   Runt   We Gotta Get You A Woman

that's Todd Rundgren, right?    I think he's at least 5'10", so what gives?
