Whither Nothing Left?

(Beirut.  Image from here.)

Is this it?  Is there nothing left of Self Help Radio but a radio show with the theme "nothing left"?  Is it finally over?  Is our long national nightmare at long last finally over?!?!?

Nah, it's just a bunch of songs which use the phrase "nothing left."  When you listen to music as much as I do, you start noticing recurring words, phrases, themes.  One of them was "nothing left."  This was before Beirut, before that stupid, terrible accident, & in fact in news reports people would say, "There's nothing left there."  So it makes the show seem somewhat timely, although also somewhat opportunistic, & then it's gross, so I say, the idea for the show happened way before the explosion at the port in Beirut!

So. There'll be nothing left on the radio tomorrow from 8-10am on Freeform Portland, that's Monday morning, on 90.3+98.3fm here in Portland, & online everywhere at freeformportland.org.

But if there's nothing left, what's there to listen to?  Tune in to find out!
