Fair signal with WRKO DJ into CCR "Bad Moon Rising." Better on the inverted V that the horizontal loop, so I made the switch

Fans of the University of Pittsburgh sing "Sweet Caroline" when they're about to win a football game. I can see fans in Boston doing it, Caroline's family was from nearby Hyannis Port, but Pittsburgh?

Strange segue from Ace Cannon into what's arguably the first reggae song, Desmond Dekker And The Aces, "The Israelites". It's the theme song to one of my favorite movies, "Drugstore Cowboy". "No hats on the bed! It's bad luck!"
