And, a special hello to those of us visiting us from Portland, Oregon, where the IFC show "Portlandia" takes place; it is now 8:16 a.m. in the west coast United States, and hopefully you will get more done in the next three hours than those of us here on the east coast did this morning!
Today, also happens to be World Radio Day, so I send a special shout out to WUVT (90.7 FM-Blacksburg, Va.) where I used to play songs from the late Turkish pop star Baris Manco and Ibrahim Tatlises (who is still alive) during "The Turkish Music Hour," I co-hosted in 1994.
Manco is not in the Simon-FM (98.7-Greensboro, NC) play list, which proves they don't really play everything as their promotion touts, but they do play everything from soft core heavy metal to hip hop.
Here are ten songs we heard during the 2:00-3:00 p.m. hour on Tuesday (in reverse order):
1. M.C. Hammer (pict. bottom) "U Can't Touch This." 1990
2. Creedence Clearwater Revival. "Fortunate Son." 1969
3. Duran Duran. "Rio." 1982.
4. Aerosmith. "Rag Doll." 1986
5. Steve Winwood. "Back in the High Life Again." 1986.
6. Jet. "Are You Gonna Be My Girl." 2003
7. Michael Jackson. "The Way You Make Me Feel." 1987
8. Pat Benatar. (pict. center) "Invincible." 1985.
9. Billy Joel (pict. top) "Piano Man." 1973
10. The Offspring. "Self-Esteem." 1994
