Ten Songs We Heard in One Hour on Simon-FM (Greensboro, NC): Do You Want New Drugs?

We learned while putting this entry together that Huey Lewis and the News is continuing its perennial North American summer tour with a stop in Camden, New Jersey, on August, 20th. The popular '80s band whose song "Hip to Be Square" was featured during a memorable scene with Christian Bale and Jared Leto in "American Psycho" will also be performing in Biloxi, Mississippi, on Oct. 10th.

Here are those ten songs which were played during the 11:00 p.m.-midnight hour on Saturday night:

1) I Want a New Drug, Huey Lewis and the News. 1984. (Lithium is pict. top)

2)  Heartache Tonight, The Eagles. 1979.

3) Right Here, Right Now, Jesus Jones. 1991 (pict. center)

4) Another Brick in the Wall, Pink Floyd. 1979.

5) I Want Her, Keith Sweat. 1987.

6) Stairway to Heaven, Led Zeppelin. 1971.

7) Under the Bridge, Red Hot Chili Peppers. 1991

8) Always Something There to Remind Me, Naked Eyes. 1983.

9) It's the End of the World As We Know It (And, I Feel Fine), REM. 1987 (bottom image)

10) Brickhouse, Commodores, 1977.

Status Update- Ben Cok Yorgunum (I'm Verrry Tired!)

Under 'normal' circumstances, I may have been tempted to stay up from 2:00 a.m-3:30 a.m., Hartford, Connecticut Time, and watched "Grizzly," a '70s crazy horror film about a bear who really, really goes wild and presumably eats people on TCM Underground.

But, I have been very overwhelmed---to put it mildly, in fact, right now, even though I am not a serial killer or sociopath, I am reminded of that Bret Easton Ellis novel "American Psycho" (1991), a book which I'm not sure what to make of even though Ellis is one of my favorite contemporary novelists, in which the title character Patrick Bateman states the haunting line 'this is not an exit,' meaning there is no escape!

SIDEBAR_One of the entries that I am working on, is another installment of our famous people with long, difficult names list. Nil Karaibrahimgil (perhaps I've mentioned this before?!), a female Turkish pop singer, is among the candidates for the list. They just played one of her songs today on "The Turkish Music Hour," which actually lasts 90 minutes. The show from WUVT-FM (90.7-FM, Blacksburg, Va.) airs and streams online from 1:00-2:30 p.m. on Saturdays.
