I just started listening to the show (love it!) and I would like to find out where he finds the bumper music he plays. Specifically, the Maquiladora song (don't have a date, my local AAR affiliate plays "best ofs").

Thanks!

Hi Jigilou, welcome!
I think it's Louise who finds the bumper music, at least she did a while back...

So if we're looking for info on the music that we hear clips of on the show, including the parodies, we should PM Louise? (I'm new here.) Or do we start a thread to ask? Or is there a subforum where stuff like that is posted and discussed?

The Maquiladora song is by Billionaires for Bush. Unfortunately Louise is too busy producing the show to provide a list, but I've worked out quite a few of them. Go to http://www.s.nethercott.btinternet.co.uk/TH/console.htm and click on "music".

Just wanted to know if Louise had run across the new song "Dear Mr. President" on the "I'm Not Dead" CD by Pink? It not only deserves a place as bumper music, but a full run. She sings it from the heart. Thanks.

Indeed Bomasa (and welcome Smiler )

quote:
"Dear Mr. President"
(feat. Indigo Girls)

Dear Mr. President
Come take a walk with me
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
Are you proud

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why

Dear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
How can you say
No child is left behind
We're not dumb and we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pave the road to hell

What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye

Let me tell you bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh

How do you sleep at night
How do you walk with your head held high
Dear Mr. President
You'd never take a walk with me
Would you
