Something happened on today's show that I'm not proud of, & it happened within the first twenty minutes. To explain how it happened would be extremely defensive, but suffice it to say I listen to a lot of songs before each show, & many songs are covers of a more famous song. The Supremes song "Reflections" is one of those - I must have had five or six covers of that song, from the Four Tops to Swervedriver. I chose to play the original as the second song of the show. Then, after the first airbreak, I played a cover of the song. If you could've been in the deejay booth with me, you would have seen my mortification. I forgot it was a cover. What could I do? I played it then apologized for it in the next airbreak.
Someone called & told me they thought it was brilliant I played the cover - as a reflection of the Supremes song - in the middle of a reflections show! I said, "Damn, I wish I thought of that." The caller could not believe it was what it was: a dumb mistake.
Some shows are like that. Much thanks always to listeners who give dumb deejays the benefit of the doubt. They perhaps see us as a reflection of them - & how could we be bad if we're like them?
The show, the show, the show. What a silly show. It's at the Self Help Radio website where it's holding a mirror up to itself. It doesn't like what it sees. There is a username - SHR - & a password - selfhelp - if you dare to listen. So as not to surprise you, what you will hear is below.
As always: thanks for listening! !gninetsil rof sknaht :syawla sA
