Beware the Men At Work my son...

Instead Dave joins the many radio jocks to play Beat It in the past 24 hours.
Let's get right to it.

I guess "Beat It" should have been an obvious guess.

But show of hands: Who actually wanted 1983 today?

I was looking at the music log for NYC's "Jack" and at around the time of the verdict yesterday, they played, like, 5 MJ songs.

I guess radio stations have been hesitant to play MJ songs up until this point. So, there's like, been a build-up.

Well, since '83 is my high school grad year I can usually stomache a visit.
nakes? On my plane?

BOS Ms Summer. Pretty damn good record considering she was fulfilling a contractual obligation.  She worked hard, yuk yuk.

Listening to "She Works Hard for the Money" while sending out resumes and cover letters is mildly surreal and more than a little discouraging.

I appreciate that -- but I don't have publications beating down my door to access my writing and editing skills.  :(
