i was noticing yesterday how not too many people have license plate holders or bumper stickers bearing expletives, and i was thinking about how generally civilised we are as a nation. i didn't think too long about it...

Most DMV's are quite vigilant about license plates -- you're not allowed to be lewd or political.

Morning radio sucks big buckets of ass, especially here in NYC.  I'll never be caught listening to that garbage.  I just hope Micky Dolenz isn't being pushed into doing "morning zoo" antics on his show.   :cry:  :cry:  :cry:

Ironically, this Friday there'll be a "20th Anniversary" simulcast of "We Are The World" (it's the 20th birthday of the song's recording session).  Wonder if KFOG and The Drive will participate.

Very remarkably done!  The only correction is that it's Kim Carnes and Huey Lewis here singing "stand together as one."

At least they're not re-releasing "Voices That Care."  Although now that I think about it, it'd make a great Onion piece to claim that *every charity single ever recorded* will be re-released this weekend for the tsunami victims.
