8 Oct 2010: it's ... John Lennon's Birthday

[Gazoo]

I'd hardly call "#9 Dream" a Katrina.

BOS from me.  I needed it; this has been a shitty week.

sorry, it's far from a rarity, 10@10-wise.

And I'll see your shitty and raise you 2 crappys and a sucky.

I'm all in. Shitty, two crappys, and a SUCK ASS.

Digging Mind Games however, as well as Working Class Hero and How Do You Sleep? I've missed most of the rest of it.

I'll play "Getting Better" later tonight and dedicate it to us all.  "It can't get no worse ..."

[Gazoo]

I was the winner of this morning's Request o' Rama just before 8AM and asked for the Beatles "You Know My Name (look up the number)" (the B-side of the single "Let It Be") as I wanted something rare and different.  After the play, Irish Greg said 'I thought the worst Beatles song was Bungalow Bill, but that was the worst.'  Renee said she liked it.  Webster said some listeners are going 'hey, its You Know My Name!, while others are thinking 'that's 4-minutes of my life I'll never get back.'   By the way, when I made my request, Renee commented that I sounded like the voice for Moviephone, because I purposely used my upbeat announcer voice for the game.  Hey, it's the radio, you're supposed to sound upbeat when you win!

Haha, this is great.  Nice job!  (And I dislike YKMN but would have been amused to have it turn up randomly on the radio.)
