Amazing--Webster just played the Stones' If You Can't Rock Me, which I don't recall EVER hearing on KFOG before. Props to whoever put that on the playlist.

I used to think that KFOG would cherry-pick 10@10 BOS winners and put them into rotation (maybe after testing them first). But I can't recall if "IYCRM" has ever made a KFOG 10@10 appearance.  Somebody's played it -- Bob? Rob?  Larry?

I checked the DB before I posted that--it's not there, so this doesn't fall under your theory. But it's not a bad idea, and I think they might do well to do just that, at least for a few weeks per song.
Let's get right to it.

I was also amazed to hear that.

I further checked the Db, and the only tracks from It's Only Rock & Roll Dave played were the title track & "Time Waits For No One".  Not even "Ain't To Proud To Beg".  So definite kudos.

They're doing another "vinyl Friday" on the morning show today.

Have you heard the commmercial Renee has been doing for the Alcatraz Tour? She uses the word "inescapable" and actually pronounces it "in-EX-capable". Don't axe me why.

You can take the girl outta Noo Yawk, but...

Someone should take her out for an expresso and esplain the difference. :)

That sounds like a good idea.  Come to think of it...I did hear "This is Not America" by David Bowie & Pat Metheny on a Saturday afternoon a few weeks after it won BOS for 1981 once.

If they do this, then they should be spinning the hell out of that Thomas Dolby song from 1992!

I know it sounds silly, but it's in the dictionary as an accepted variant.

Well, I am shocked -- SHOCKED -- I tell you!  When I talk English, I ain't gonna use no "expresso" no how!

I think I remember that - Dire Straits' "Expresso Love" was played in a coffee-themed set, no?

the word expresso is actually closer to the literal meaning of how it is prepared.

Even in Italian?

I'm thinking of the English term express, as in how a mother expresses breast milk.

ORIGIN late Middle English : from Old French expres, from Latin expressus ‘distinctly presented,’ past participle of exprimere ‘press out, express,’ from ex- ‘out’ + primere ‘press.’

Just noticed that the "send us your audition tapes to be the new Don Pardo" plea is no longer on the KFOG 10@10 page. Not sure when it was removed. Guess that idea fell by the wayside.

I bet it's from the same root, but I don't want to follow up right now.  Not too many x characters in Italian, I think they dropped a lot from latin and use the s instead.
