First of all, I’m really sick about the guy and the dog. I’m gonna do my best to listen in today. Last couple weeks I was either out of town or running around somewhere.
For next week, does the song ‘Get Back’ by The Beatles work? I like it cuz they mention Tucson, Arizona.
hey azmouse,
yes – the guy and the dog thoroughly disgusted and angered me. i can’t believe how twisted some people can be.
thanks for bid to listen in – promise the dog story is very short – and some non-sick stories are also included.
yes! the beatles ‘get back’ def. counts – tucson, arizona! love it. will put it on play list for sure – thanks.
Awesome on The Beatles song.
I want to make sure I listen because of the dog story. I follow so many animal abuse cases online and I hadn’t heard about that one. I’m all for more severe punishment for people who hurt animals and I’m usually dismayed by the lack of punishment they seem to get. Many of us value our pets like family members and a fine with a slap on the wrist just doesn’t cut it.
Thanks for bringing so many important stories to light!
aw, thanks for your continued readership and cool song suggestions!
just a quick peek, the extreme animal cruelty charge the guy is facing has a joke of a maximum penalty, as well. i agree folks who abuse animals should DEF be more severely punished.
Rolling Stones: Route 66 (too many to list!), Rip This Joint (Tampa, Memphis, Buffalo, D.C., San Jose, Sante Fe, New Orleans, Dallas, Birmingham, Little Rock), Street Fighting Man (London), Shattered (Manhattan, The Big Apple), Far Away Eyes (Bakersfield, Los Angeles), Harlem Shuffle, Honky Tonk Women (Memphis, New York City), Jivin’ Sister Fanny (Philadelphia), Memory Motel (Boston, Baton Rouge), Miss You (Central Park)
hahahha! love it, scout’s mom!
will cull out my fave from the bunch – but i’ll give you a hint which one definitely makes the list:
‘rats on the west side, bedbugs uptown….’
thanks, No. 1 Stones fan in the world!
Caught the show. Once again, they walk among us.
thanks for listening in, alan! and yes, i was going to mention the dog beheader in the previous comment about shuddering…yuck!
at least the cat dyed hot pink added some levity…
Nice show media maven. I especially liked the Last Poets selection, an often overlooked group of deep thinkers…
Favorite locales…hmmmmm…any tunes come to mind about Kingman?… 😉
hey radmax –
thanks for listening – and compliments – once again!
the lost poets, i agree, our definitely geniuses who don’t get the credit, or airplay, they so fully and richly deserve – hahahhahahha.
“Shallow Grave” by the A-Bones
Not only does this rocking little ditty mention Tucson numerous times, but its subject matter is true crime at its finest, specifically our most infamous murderer, the “Pied Piper of Tucson”, Charles Schmid.
As an aside, the A-bones keyboardist is Ira Kaplan, master guitar mangler for Yo La Tengo.
If you can’t find this, email me and I’ll point you in the right direction.
ooooh, this is an ideal selection, for sure – meets all request criteria, has awesome band and song name, includes true crime AND is local.
DEF. a must-play!
i’ll check for it in my secret stash of music – and will e-mail if cannot find it. based on what you’re telling me, i may need to find a whole a-bones album.
thanks! koreyk!
found it – got it – “one foot sticking from a shallow grave in tucson….”
loveit!
