Update: Behind The Hits Appearance
Bob has been kind enough to allow me to use a sample from Tuesday’s broadcast. Here’s my appearance:

Forgive me being a bit self-indulgent; it’s just that…hey, wait a second! This is MY website! Screw you if you don’t like it!
See you tomorrow for CHART ATTACK!

Thanks for listening! I had a great time. Bob and I got to chat briefly beforehand and he couldn’t have been nicer.

[…] Everyone probably owns "Another One Bites The Dust," so the download here is a live version from their album Live Magic, a one-disc chronicle of their final tour in 1986. This disc gets a lot of crap from people, for some reason, but I actually like it better than Live At Wembley Stadium – the performances recorded at Knebworth and in Budapest are stronger, in my opinion, especially this track. Be sure to check out Freddie’s fantastic interactions with the audience, both during and after the song!3. He’s So Shy – Pointer Sisters (download) These girls have had quite an interesting career, as they’ve frequently shifted between genres such as jazz, R&B, pop, and country. In fact, here’s a nifty piece o’ trivia: in 1974, they became the first black female group to ever perform at the Grand Ole Opry, as a result of their successful country song "Fairytale." But let’s talk about "He’s So Shy." It’s a Michael McDonald ripoff, people. We’ve covered this. Even our good friend Bob Shannon covered it in our radio chat. Is it as blatant as Robbie Dupree? No. I’ll admit to that. In fact, to be honest, I think it probably isn’t a McD ripoff, but more of a McD influence. And it’s a good song; it’s about 95% keyboards, but they’re all used quite well (especially in the last quarter of the song), and the vocals are fantastic. I actually wasn’t going to offer this one for download, but after listening and subsequently shaking my booty involuntarily, I knew I had to include it here. Thank me later.2. Lady – Kenny Rogers Chances are that you missed the Kenny Rogers/Lionel Richie episode of CMT Crossroads. I know you are not going to understand me when I tell you that this episode is one of the only things permanently saved on my TiVo. Nor will you understand me when I tell you that (no, I’m not being racist) Lionel Richie is chocolate and Kenny Rogers is peanut butter, and the two of them together results in a delicious treat. That’s okay. You know by now that I’m a little bit crazy. And I’m fine with that. If it ever comes on TV again, though, humor me and watch it. […]

[…] trying not to focus on my anger. At least something good came out of it, and I got to have a fun on-air conversation with radio legend Bob Shannon. Yeah, I know I’m all about Bob this week, but dammit, he […]
