And since we just had a "guilty pleasures" set two weeks ago, that pretty much fulfills the Hits From Hell/Turkeys quota for the year.  Any bets as to whether we get Tax Day or Earth Day sets next week? I'm taking the negative on both.

I'd say 15% chance on Earth Day and 10% on Tax Day. The latter is spent in my opinion, so no big loss.

I'll go ahead and venture that the next themed set will be Mothers Day.

Earth day is a Sunday so It could be our Friday set. Tax Day is Tuesday (delayed this year) but Tues is that commercial-free "44 cents can save a child" thingy so sadly I'll bet against a "Money" set -- one of my favorite theme sets, actually.

KFOG has been running spots for weeks about World Concern, a charity whose pitch is that 44 cents can cure an impoverished 3rd World child of life-threatening parasites.

http://www.worldconcern.org/44cents/

the station is going commercial-free on Tues to raise money for this outfit. They're a "Christian" group (part of CRISTA Ministries), which certainly gives me pause.

BOS!

Hit-and-run post from me - we've had a CRAZY busy week putting out both our regular weekly issue and the upcoming TIME 100 issue in a condensed time frame.  Ugh.

Hope you've all been well!  I'm on vacation for two weeks after today and hope to be more of a presence here!

LN: Macca. also "Wimpiest of Set", probably.

Yes yes, I know, just another one of his silly love songs...  But I still like it.  :-)

Lucky Strike commercial... isn't that technically illegal?

Yep, apparently since 1971.

"so round... so firm... so fully packed" they were talking about CIGARETTES?

For SHAME: a re-recorded (non-Teddy P) version of "Bad Luck". WOS.
