In case you didn't know, this happened:
1) A listener asked me to do a show with the theme "green." She specifically mentioned New Order's "Everything's Gone Green" as one of the songs she'd like to hear.
2) I checked. There were over a trillion songs about the color green for me to listen to.
3) Panic set in. Would I be able to find time to go through all those songs & make a show?
4) One of those lightbulbs appeared over my head.
5) It actually gave me an idea.
6) (Probably using this word wrong but) I would crowdsource the show!
7) I asked people on the Facebook Self Help Radio page to make requests.
8) Three people did. Not an inspiring number.
9) What the hell, I thought, ask on my personal Facebook page.
10) So I did.
11) Holy shit, I got like forty requests. Maybe more.
12) Most of them from deejay friends. Naturally.
13) Some of my annoying deejay friends made multiple requests.
14) I just took the first one.
15) Seriously there are so fucking many songs about the color green.
16) Some of the requests are not songs I would've picked, & two or three are songs I don't actually like all that much.
17) But you know what? It stopped being about me when I asked.
18) This will be an interesting show this!
19) Now to put all together!
20) & maybe think about doing it again?
