bjb,

Do you know which ABBA recording the song is on. While not an avid fan of theirs (like the rest of entire world in the 70s,) they put out some fine records. My pardner razzes me 'cuz I'm a sucker for Dancing Queesn

The whole idea of the Late Nite Radio thing is to reach folks hurting for whatever reason and help them back to life - and, being a Christian station - tie things in w/ Jesus' Good News.

I'm of the opinion that the majority of the songs I "DJ" should be those, such as have been kindly suggested, from the popular song book.

And also of an eclectic mix. Every person in years of tears is not a "folkie" or a "headbanger." But why not both - side by side - on the radio. If the message and the dovetail w/ The Word is there . . .

That Social Distortion song is a prime example. I'm inclined to play their original and then read the lyric - and then the path to Scripture.

Sorry for the "free range" ramble tonite. I've a PowWow w/ the Pastor tomorrow. Organizing thoughts has never been something I've been accused of mastering.

So, Blessings again tonite - and many thanksgivings,

Rez
