I saw this tweet the other day.
This morning heard "Piano Man" & "Hotel California" within minutes of each other on the radio! Only on @Mix938FM can you hear that! Great!

Hotel California and Piano Man. Two of the classic rockiest classic rock songs. And the nice fellow was excited enough to tweet about it!
It’s one of those fascinating things about radio. People will tell you they want more variety, except their behavior suggests they don’t. “Play the hits’ will never steer you wrong. Back to my comedy days, Jeff Foxworthy made a lot of money telling “You might be a redneck…” punchlines. Sure there are edgier comedians and there are “cooler” songs than Hotel California in 2014….but sometimes you have to just give them what they want.
