Self Help Radio 051722: Sting

(Original bee image here. Sting's face from here.)

Sometimes the internet fails you.  I had hoped that someone would have made an image somewhere of Sting getting stung by bees or something else.  But nope!  So I had to make one.  & that's what you see above - Sting's his usual cocky self, you just know he's going to get stung!  Fingers crossed.

Of course, the show had very little to do with Sting, just a couple of songs & a bit - most of the songs were about things that sting - bees in particular - & stings as things that hurt, as in "death where is thy sting?"  There's even a set with the word "stingy," which, I discovered, some from the word "sting."  Plus the usual nonsensical interviews.

Listen to the sting show now - it won't hurt you - at the KBOO web page or at the Self Help Radio web site.  Remember at the latter, you'll need a username - SHR - & a password - selfhelp - to listen.  But you can download the show!  All the stuff that happened (more or less) is below.
