Hitting close to a S-20 on peaks on kiwi w/ the 120 ft. T2FD in Westminster, MD. with the Rev. MC Hammer and "Can't Touch This" "Hammah time" LOL! I wonder if he wears those parachute pants while he's preaching these days?
Belly rubbin' song I can't remember, I always thought it was cat's fighting? "We May Never Pass This Way Again." Good, this song was bad enough the first time around. Play The Jam's "This The Modern World". Same time period as that last tune with a lot more piss to it.
-
Stray Cats? You don't have the real deal like Billy Riley or Warren Smith?
Oh, Sweet Jeezus! Now it's piano tunes. It's gone from bad to worse. Where's Outhouse when he's needed?
-
Herb Alpert followed by Barry Manilow? I officially de-Pirate this station.

Yup, Red Headed Step Child.
