As always, thanks for listening. Next week’s show is made up of questions. All the track titles are questions except one song. Want to know how such a song got into the list, tune in and find out. It’s pretty obvious but I’m looking to hype this exception to ‘Snakes On A Plane’ stature, but given my time and limited marketing budget I don’t think I’ll be able to reach that goal. If only I had Samuel L. Jackson saying he was exhausted from having to deal with a threatening animal while in a defined space dictated by a vehicle’s location. ‘Hippos On A Submarine’
