Transmission 1212

"If I was a songwriter I would pen you a song

I'm not, others did, so we can both sing along

And If this was a film or a play

 I would change the script and you would stay

But it's time for me to be a man

And although things have not gone as planned

I loved you the first second I saw you - and every minute since then

And I will love you until my final breath - this heart will never mend"
(Me)

This is the most personal show I have produced in my 39 years of doing radio. I almost decided not to post it, but I have changed my mind about that and many other things. There are so many songs and films about heartache and as they say, misery loves company. So take strange comfort that you may be alone on this Valentines Day, but you really aren't alone - you're with me and Pete Townshend, The Beatles, John Lennon, Bonnie Raitt, Eric Clapton, Smokey Robinson, The Cure, Brendan Benson, Genesis, 10cc, Harry Nillson, Elton John, Def Leppard, The Beach Boys and Nine Inch Nails!

Conceived as a single show, today's Transmission pulled a music mitosis and transformed into two perfectly mismatched halves. The first comes out rockin' with Def Leppard, Mott The Hoople, Chris Spedding, The Len Price Three, Sonic Youth, The Cure and Jethro Tull. The second goes all strange influenced by the likes of David Lynch, Jamie Saft, The Residents, Monkey and The Flaming Lips with the Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band!

"I don't want to live my life like evrybody else, cause, I'm Not Like Everbody Else"

RFW

*The use of today's photo by Harold Lloyd was inspired by the title of Jamie Saft's album "Breadcrumb Sins" - which is also a part of some of my favorite Bob Dylan lyrics - from "Gates Of Eden":

"The motorcycle black madonna

Two-wheeled gypsy queen

And her silver-studded phantom cause

The gray flannel dwarf to scream

As he weeps to wicked birds of prey

Who pick up on his bread crumb sins

And there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden"
