KFOG, But Not 10@10

[Lightnin' Rod]

and we come full-circle with "Chain of Fools", 'cause apparently they're tired of the whole thing.  The entire list is supposed to be posted on the KFOG website today.  Nice try at something interesting and different, in any case.

Yeah, it was pretty cool.  I'm glad they quit though, because I really have a lot of work this morning.

Yikes, Fogheads are dense: the guy who just flubbed the Pop Quiz should be shot (or at least shot full of caffeine). This is why I don't normally listen at this hour.

switched back to the "song chain" -- they need a song starting with "gold". Some woman called up and said "I don't know who does it but I think it's called 'Gold Dust Woman'"
 
the crew were stunned -- Peter: "a little band called Fleetwood Mac; you might wanna look them up"

Actually, what I heard her say was "I dont know all the words, but... " then she bleated out Gold Dust Woman. 

They replied "You don't know who does that?" & she said uh-uh.  So I think she really was that clueless.  A lot of people never pay attention to who does the songs the listen to.

Ha! Someone wanted "Woman in Love" by Streisand!  But they're not taking the bait.

They took about 1/3 of the bait...they played a good minute, minute & a half of it.

fwiw, I tried to call in several times as I was driving down 680 this morning, and I would have at different times suggested at least 5 of the songs they eventually played + "Gold" by Spandau Ballet, which one caller suggested but only after they had already started into "Gold Dust Woman".  In fact it was this gal who suggested La Barbra, and basically dared them to play it: "Do you guys even have that in the station?"  To which Greg replied, "No but we can get it," and then had to demonstrate.

Maybe, but everything was pretty confused by that point, and she was having difficulties "on stage" as it were.  As many of us have experienced, it's not easy to keep your head about you when your live on the phone like that.  But I find it hard to believe that someone conciously doing a Stevie Nicks impersonation wouldn't know who she was doing, and what band Stevie is in.

I would have enjoyed hearing this.  I happen to adore "Woman in Love."  It's a right I defend, over and over again.

Actually, I would have liked to hear the whole thing for real (I'm not familiar enough with it to love or hate it).  I mean, if I can hold on through ABBA tunes during a 10@10, I think I can survive the rare Babs tune.

Not only a great chain, but they're all songs the Fogheads would've known -- Greg's big gripe was that (for the first hour, at least) they were playing weirdass obscurities and non-format stuff.

I am curious to see their list, not only to see what they played, but also just how many songs they played over the course of a morning show.

Here's their list:

Chain of Fools - Aretha Franklin
Fools Rush In - Frank Sinatra
In God's Country - U2
Country Comfort - Elton John
Comfort Eagle - Cake
(Eagle Rock - Daddy Cool was requested but Webster dumped out of it to play a different request)
Eagles Fly - Sammy Hagar
Fly Away - Lenny Kravitz
Away! - Our first  STOPPER!

We restarted with:

Fool in the Rain - Led Zeppelin
Rain in the Summertime - The Alarm
Summertime - Janis Joplin
Summertime Thing - Chuck Prophet
Thing Called Love - John Hiatt
Love Will Come to You - Indigo Girls (for a prize)
You Are So Beautiful - Joe Cocker
Beautiful Boy - John Lennon
Boy in the Bubble - Paul Simon
Bubble Toes - Jack Johnson

STOPPER! Good luck coming up with a popular tune that starts with the word "Toes"!

We started once more with:

Fools Gold - Stone Roses
Gold Dust Woman - Fleetwood Mac
Woman in Chains - Tears for Fears
Chain of Fools - Aretha Franklin

And we ended where we began!

after Woman in Chains, I tried calling to suggest Erasure's Chains of Love, but couldn't get through, dangit.

Me too!

And I had three more songs that would bring them right back to "Love", and they could easily get all the way to 10:00 from there:

 Love My Way -> Way Down Now -> Now That We've Found Love

It wasn't a hit, but the single Blind Melon had out when Shannon Hoon OD'd was "Toes Across the Floor."

this could be cross-ref'd in the Food Thread in re: the discussion about the
tv show Weeds, but KFOG just played a song whose lyrics started w the word "Taint."

know it?
