So how was your week so far? I am working on my Christmas list and trying to get it finished and wrapped by December 1. Then I can really enjoy Christmas. I have to write earlier. My head feels like it weighs about a thousand pounds. And so to bed!]]> Wed, 05 Nov 2008 21:02:59 +0000 http://robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=304#comment http://robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=304

P.S.
If Franken actually does get elected I swear I will never again set foot in The Land of Ten Thousand Lakes and will not spend one nickel in Minnesota. So there.]]> Thu, 06 Nov 2008 17:38:39 +0000 http://robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=304#comment http://robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=304
At the moment I am more upset with McCain and his minions than with anyone else. The blogs are my solace. I am not alone.

Today, I didn't go anywhere. The weather looked frightful and I just decided I wasn't going to deal with it. About an hour ago I was watching TV and thought of a wonderful thing to write here....and now I can't remember what it was.

Still nothing. Maybe it will come to me.]]> Thu, 06 Nov 2008 21:25:29 +0000 http://robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=304#comment http://robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=304 Fri, 07 Nov 2008 00:41:38 +0000 http://robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=304#comment http://robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=304 Fri, 07 Nov 2008 04:38:32 +0000 http://robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=304#comment http://robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=304
Okay, I'm done now. No more bitching.]]> Fri, 07 Nov 2008 18:02:31 +0000 http://robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=304#comment http://robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=304 Fri, 07 Nov 2008 19:51:32 +0000 http://robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=304#comment http://robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=304
Speaking of oldies but goodies...Kenny, when you mention Van Morrison I always have two distinct memories. Moondance Damn! That was a good 'album'. And single! "Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance..." "She gave me love, love, love, crazy love..." "Hey Mr. DJ....on the radio, on the radio.."

Digging into that LP when I got some play-list freedom at KDWB was sweet. The other memory is from Green Bay when Van Morrison hit the Top-40 lists with the inexplicably-pop, Brown Eyed Girl. On one of the few remaining air-checks from WDUZ, I do am embarrassing talk-up at the beginning. "I have a little brown-eyed cow, who gives me milk and cheese....and now I sit home alone with hoof and mouth disease". The only consolation is that I nailed the post!

As for politics on this Saturday morning...all I can say is "What a bunch of maroons".]]> Sat, 08 Nov 2008 08:51:13 +0000 http://robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=304#comment http://robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=304
And there is something to be said for hittin' the post.]]> Sat, 08 Nov 2008 13:48:46 +0000 http://robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=304#comment http://robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=304 Mr. Atomic. Even the composer took a curtain call. Went out to eat tonight and discovered for the first time how difficult that is when you aren't having meat. I managed and it really didn't matter anyway because I was there for the convo...not for the food.

Speaking of hitting the post...What is your favorite song for hitting the post. At U100 I had one DJ who hit the post on Stairway To Heaven. Did the weather, promo'd the next 24 hours of DJ, the next hour of music, and nailed it! Boy did it ever suck! How about the DJ at KSTP who tried to talk-up Rich Girl? I'll have to think about this. Do the DJ's of the current millennium do posts?]]> Sat, 08 Nov 2008 21:04:20 +0000 http://robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=304#comment http://robsherwood.com/blog/index.php?number=304
My favorite song for hitting the post . . . That's a good one . . . Hmmm . . . Let me think . . . I'd have to say Jim Stafford's "Spiders and Snakes". I could nail that one every time and that nice pounding intro was great background. In the "solid gold million dollar weekend" category I'm gonna go with Kenny O'dell and "Beautiful People". Geez are we old.

I don't think anyone can hit the post anymore. Like good production, staging, and jingles, that talent seems to be a thing of the past. And do we still call these radio folk DJs? I mean even when we carted up the music it at least started out on a disc. I'll even give credit for CDs but when the music source is a hard drive . . . 'Course you can't really call most of them "radio personalities" either.

Vikes vs Pack today my friend. Perhaps we should wager.
