WA2K Radio is now on the air

When the truth is found to be lies
And all the joy within you dies

Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love

When the garden flowers baby are dead yes
And your mind, your mind is full of red

Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love

Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his
But in your head baby I'm afraid you don't know where it is

Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love

Tears are running ah running down your breast
And your friends baby they treat you like a guest

Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love

An ode to all the fine musical magicians @ our lovely station.


The Last DJ
by Tom Petty


Well you can't turn him into a company man
You can't turn him into a whore
And the boys upstairs just don't understand anymore
Well the top brass don't like him talking so much
And he won't play what they say to play
And he don't want to change what don't need to change
And there goes the last DJ
Who plays what he wants to play
And says what he wants to say
Hey, hey, hey
And there goes your freedom of choice
There goes the last human voice
There goes the last DJ
Well some folks say they're gonna hang him so high
Because you just can't do what he did
There's some things you just can't put in the minds of those kids
As we celebrate mediocrity all the boys upstairs want to see
How much you'll pay for what you used to get for free
And there goes the last DJ
Who plays what he wants to play
And says what he wants to say
Hey, hey, hey
And there goes your freedom of choice
There goes the last human voice
And there goes the last DJ


Well he got him a station down in Mexico
And sometimes it will kinda come in
And I'll bust a move and remember how it was back then
There goes the last DJ
Who plays what he wants to play
And says what he wants to say
Hey, hey, hey
And there goes your freedom of choice
There goes the last human voice
And there goes the last DJ

That was Grace, wasn't it?
Yeah!

First of all, I was so pleased by BBB's Calvino review, thank you, BBB!

And Ceili, I've been playing Cohen recently. It's dangerous. He has a monotone nearly as bad as my own, and on the few songs I like less than others, to be polite, they have this tendency to stick in my mind for days afterward. So... I can only play his Songs every few weeks.

I love Cohen, but I prefer when someone else sings his songs. I read that he went on a long hiatus from music because of the constant complaints, thankfully he came back, but still...

Jeff Buckly does a beautiful version of the hallelujah song.

I'll remember that. And I love your show, warm, welcoming, interesting.





Right now I'm playing Marley's Ghost -
Four Spacious Guys

(bluegrass, old time string band music, cajun, celtic spice, harmony singing...)

Good morning, and a warm welcome to Osso who will be bringing us the latest in landscaping tips and, hopefully, news from the art world.

The music has been great, and I listened to the radio before I sank into slumber.

I hope dys didn't fall asleep in the bubble bath, and I loved his poem. Fantastic.

WA2K radio needs a good sales staff, as it takes MONEY to keep the platters spinning.

Ceili will also bring us a complete review of how to tan without UV...

And don't forget, Ms. Letty, we have the Dr. Lola show debuting today. The thinking person's alternative to Dr. Laura. I do so hope she is planning to take calls. I have a few...um...friends.....

Good Afternoon. Here are some celebrities born on the 6th day of December:

1886 -Joyce Kilmer, poet (New Brunswick, NJ., died 1918
1887 -Lynn Fontanne, actress (Britain, died 1983)
1896 - Ira Gershwin, Lyricist (New York, N.Y., died 1983
1920 - Dave Brubeck, jazz musician (Concord, CA)
1953 - Tom Hulce, actor (Whitewater, WI)
1955 - Stephen Wright, comedian (New York, N.Y.)

1906 - Agnes Moorehead, actress (Clinton, MA, died 1974)


Ms. Moorhead portrayed the first Margot Lane on Mutual Radio's "The Shadow" (1937-1939).

She initially turned down the role of Endora in "Bewitched", but reconsidered when Elizabeth Montgomery asked her in person, when they met in a department store. Moorehead joined the cast not expecting the show to last more than one season - let alone become a long-running hit.

On the first season of filming Bewitched, she didn't like aspects of the script, but felt she couldn't complain to director William Asher because he was Elizabeth Montgomery's husband (at the time).
She did not enjoy filming Bewitched, since it forced her to get up at 4:45 AM, start makeup at 6 AM, and continue filming often until 8 PM.

And in remembrance of Ira Gershwin:

You say E-ther and I say I-ther
You say nE-ther and I say nI-ther
E-ther, I-ther, nE-ther, nI-ther
Let's call the whole thing off.

You like po-tay-to and I like po-tah-to
You like to-may-to and I like to-mah-to
Po-tay-to, po-tah-to, to-may-to, to-mah-to,
Let's call the whole thing off.

Bu oh, if we call the whole thing off,
then we must part
And oh, if we ever part that would
Just break my heart.

Fo if you go for oy-sters and I go fer er-sters,
I'll order oy-sters and cancel my er-sters.
For we know we need each other so
We better call the calling off off.

Ah, Eva. I knew you were a face card when I first met you. <smile> By all means let's hear from Lola.

Raggedy, What a fantastic array. Thank you for being true and letting us listen to Ira. I think Dave Brubeck created a new kind of meter when he did "Take Five".

I have been granted permission to post another poem from edgar's thread. It's always good to See BoGoWo's creative writing.

A brief word from our sponsors:

If you want to see his eyes light up, give him a tie from the A2K haberdashery. The tie has a concealed chip that automatically flashes when he's had enough, and delivers a mild shock to his system, should he reach for another shot. This upscale tie always produces the Shakespeare quote: "Wine provoketh the desire; but limiteth the performance." Nothing says more than a tie from A2Ktieoneon.

Upside down apple-pecan pie recipe
I found this unusual recipe in my local paper yesterday and thought WA2K might enjoy making it. - BBB

UPSIDE DOWN APPLE-PECAN PIE
Adapted by BumbleBeeBoogie

1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 tablespoon dark corn syrup
1/2 cup pecan halves
1 recipe double crust pastry (or use commercial frozen pastry dough)
2/3 cup granulated white sugar
2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 cups thinly sliced peeled Granny Smith apples

Preheat the oven at 425 degrees F.

In a 9-inch pie pan, combine the brown sugar, butter and corn syrup; spread evenly over the bottom of the pie pan. Arrange the pecan halves over the mixture. Set aside.

Divide the pastry in half. On a floured surface, roll out one piece of pastry to a 10-inch circle. Fit the pastry over the mixture in the pie pan.

Arrange one-half of the apple slices over the pastry covering the pie pan.

In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, flour and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture over the apple slices. Repeat with the remaining apple slices and sugar mixture.

Roll out the remaining half of pastry and fit it over the apple slices mixture. Cut slits in the top of the pastry and flute the edges.

Place the pie pan in the center of the over and bake for 8 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. and continue baking for 40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.

Remove the pie pan from the oven and run a knife around the edge of the pie to loosen it. Carefully invert the pie onto a serving plate. Use oven mits to protect your hands.

Serves 8.

I now understand why I was confused yesterday about the flooding in San Francisco. It seems southern California was drenched yesterday from San Diego up to Los Angeles...

BBB, Absolutely delicious and sounds as easy as pie. I do suppose one may substitute sugar substitute..

from my window:

A gentle white snow is falling in Toronto, softening the step, and covering whatever evidence of harshness lies in the streets.
A little natural camouflage for inclement acts, born of an inclement atmosphere; bringing a mirage of peace.

WA2K listeners in Boston can now breath easier
WA2K listeners in Boston can now breath easier. The city is getting rid of its remaining "blue laws" from the 17th century.

http://www.able2know.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=40306&highlight=

BBB, that was a timely news item. There are still laws on the books in some states that, although antiquated, could be used to constitute unlawful arrest, based on an entirely different agenda. It used to be said in some counties in Virginia, that many people staggered to the polls and voted the county dry. Now that, faithful listeners, is a wonderful definition of the hypocritic oath.

-walking into the conference room, the man starts to vaccum, looking at stuff written upon the dry marker boards, stuff about how to target different demographics, what to play when, moving certain segments to different time slots... you know the average mumbo jumbo for a radio station. Then a piece of part got stuck in his vaccum. He sat it down and started to pull the paper from the vaccum's mouth. it wasn't anything speical... but then he read a little further down-

---Thoughts on turning the station into an all PORN all NIGHT station---

Now, surely it sounded like a winner to the man. But he had a very reservations about anything of the sort. He knew if this happened that he would be cleaning up letters from angry house wives stating that the radio station was helping to futher the addiction of their porn addicted husbands. he could not let this happen. he shook his head, balling up the paper and throwing it in the waste. he started to hum a tune and was quickly full into the song.-

R. Kelly
I Wish
I wish, I wish, I wish
To every city
I wish, I wish, I wish
Every hood
I wish, I wish, I wish
And every block
I wish, I wish, I wish
Good Ol' America!

Rollin' through the hood
Just stopped by to say what's up
Came to let you know
That your baby boy ain't doing so tough
And even though you passed
Going on four long years
Still waking up late at night crying tears
Just thinking about those days
You used to talk to me
Smilin' while I'm sippin' on this Hennesy
And remember we bragged on how rich we would be
To get up out this hood was like a fantasy

And now you hear my songs the radio is bangin'
Oh I can't believe my ears
And what everybody's sayin'
And boy I'll tell you
Folks don't know the half
I would give it all up
Just to take one ride

(With you)
How I used to kick it on the front porch
(With you)
And how I used to lay back and smoke weed
(With you)
And all the little days and party joints we'd do
Now I'm just missing you
How I wish

I wish that I could hold you now
I wish that I could touch you now
I wish that I could talk to you
Be with you somehow
I know you're in a better place
And you know I can see your face
I know you're smiling down on me
Saying everything's okay
And if I never leave this thug life
I'll see you again someday
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish, I wish

Now ever since this money come
Been nothing but stress
Sometimes I wish I could trade in my success
Y'all look at me and say boy you've been blessed
But y'all don't see the inside of my unhappiness
Man I swear this **** gets heavy like a ton
That's why you hear me shootin'
This real **** off like a gun
Hmm I wonder how my friends would treat me now
If I wasn't iced up with a Bentley and a house
That's why fake ass niggas get fake ass digits
And fake ass playas get a real playa hatin' 'em
Honey Love goes platinum and y'all ass come around
But y'all don't wanna raise the roof
Until my **** is going down

And now you hear my songs the radio is bangin'
Oh I can't believe my ears
And what everybody's sayin'
And boy I'll tell you
Folks don't know the half
I would give it all up
Just to take one ride

(With you)
How I used to hoop off in them tournaments
(With you)
And how I used to club hop on weekends
(With you)
Your family called the morning of the tragic end
Damn, my condolensces

I wish that I could hold you now
I wish that I could touch you now
I wish that I could talk to you
Be with you somehow
I know you're in a better place
And you know I can see your face
I know you're smiling down on me
Saying everything's okay
And if I never leave this thug life
I'll see you again someday
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish, I wish

Voices in my head be telling me to come to church
Saying the Lord is the only way for you to stop the hurt
Dreaming of windows black tinted like a hurst
When waking up to life sometimes seems worst
And all I ever wanted is to be a better man
And I try to keep it real with my homies now
For me to save the world I don't understand
How did I become the leader of a billion men?

And now you hear my songs the radio is bangin'
Oh I can't believe my ears
And what everybody's sayin'
And boy I'll tell you
Folks don't know the half
I would give it all up
Just to take one ride

(With you)
How I used to street perform on Friday
(With you)
And how I used to go to church on Easter Sunday
(With you)
Standing here throwing them songs at me
Somebody pray for me

I wish that I could hold you now
I wish that I could touch you now
I wish that I could talk to you
Be with you somehow
I know you're in a better place
And you know I can see your face
I know you're smiling down on me
Saying everything's okay
And if I never leave this thug life
I'll see you again someday
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish, I wish

Well, seed. Thanks to the better side of your mind, you were wise to throw that request in the trash.

Your song reminded me of a current news item.

Stevie wonder has taken emenem (however you spell it) to task for puttin' down Michael Jackson, via rap.

THE SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE LYRICS

You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around,
You are the apple of my eye,
Forever you'll stay in my heart

I feel like this is the beginning,
Though I've loved you for a million years,
And if I thought our love was ending,
I'd find myself drowning in my own tears.

You are the sunshine of my life,
That's why I'll always stay around,
You are the apple of my eye,
Forever you'll stay in my heart,

You must have known that I was lonely,
Because you came to my rescue,
And I know that this must be heaven,
How could so much love be inside of you?

You are the sunshine of my life, yeah,
That's why I'll always stay around,
You are the apple of my eye,
Forever you'll stay in my heart.

(background) love has joined us,
Love has joined us,
Let's think sweet

However, Seed. You do realize that one of our resident chefs, Caviarfancier, is a caterer by day and a porn star by night. UhOh.
I'm not supposed to say that on radio.

eh dont worry the FCC isnt listening... and I know.. im his spritser.. you know when he is looking a bit dry on film i run in with a spray bottle and give him a good spritsin... but he only does those porn movies with a good plot... and great directing...

and that's our levity of the day from the SEED!

I'm a porn star by night? Man...the pay really must be crappy or my pockets would be fuller...

I could have the whole thing backwards though. I'm more the chef at night, porn star by day, or in the wee hours. Say, if I'm willing to film porn at night, on holidays, do I get double-time?

One thing I'm happy about is that I don't have a husband addicted to porn. I did however once made a seared tuna salad that looked like a vagina when I was working in the restaurants. Chef wasn't too thrilled, but he was polite. He simply said he was 'uncomfortable' with the presentation.

cav, How come when we were at your home at night, we didn't see the porn? On second thought, I'm glad it was for that special meal. LOL
