The Last 10 Songs We Heard on Simon-FM; Greensboro, NC: Not Madonna Again

During the 8:00-9:00 p.m. hour on Sunday night, we heard the following ten songs in order from Simon-FM (98.7-Greensboro,NC), which proclaims to 'play everything' but we haven't heard Turkish pop singer Tarkan on their airwaves yet:)

Two of the songs were from the '60s (1969 to be precise), one song from the '70s, five from the '80s, including "Papa Don't Preach" by Madonna, and two from the '90s including "Better Man" by Pearl Jam.

The disco ball top image is in reference to that lone tune from the '70s, which is "I'm Your Boogie Man" by disco, funk band K.C and the Sunshine Band.

Here is the list:

1. (You Gotta) Fight For Right (To Party), Beastie Boys, 1987

2. Down on the Corner, Creedence Clearwater Revival, 1969

3. You Spin Me Round (Like a Record): Dead or Alive, 1984

4. Better Man, Pearl Jam. 1994.

5. I'm Your Boogie Man, KC and the Sunshine Band, 1977

6. Where the Streets Have No Name, U2, 1987

7. Papa Don't Preach. Madonna. 1986.

8. Whole Lotta Love. Led Zep. 1969

9. Too Shy, Kajagoogoo, 1983.

10. Mary Jane's Last Dance. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, 1993.

Catholicism by the Numbers

With images above of a Catholic church in Russia and a sheep in Uzbekistan, here is a look at the numbers of Catholicism in countries where they are minorities.

Though I am not a Catholic myself, I thought with the new coronation of Pope Francis I of Argentina and Easter Sunday occurring tomorrow that this would be a subject of interest:

Azerbaijan 400

India 19.9 million

Israel 100,000

Japan 509,000

Kazakhstan 250,000

Russia 750,000

Uzbekistan 5,000
