Paying Attention™ Request Line

Ariel Baddass on the air and taking your requests

November 24, 2024

Our newly hired DJ Ariel Baddass convinced management to add a request/dedication line for folks to hear what they want, when they want it, and send it on out there to someone special.

Hey boys and girls, cats and kitties, all the ships and clippers at sea. This is Ariel B – so glad to be back on the air. Been on kind of a forced hiatus. Got asked to leave my last gig after my tribute to the great Joey Reynolds. As Joey did on his last day at WIBG in Philly back in the early ‘70s, I locked myself in the booth and played John Lennon’s Give Peace a Chance for an hour or so, until they brought in a locksmith and a very large gentleman to help me to my car. Thanks to the good folks at Paying Attention™ for hookin’ me up to once again play the platters, spin the saucers, dish out the discs and respect the stacks of wax here at PA Central. I hope to make you proud playin’ the hits, the misses, and anything else you wanna hear.

DJ: Let’s hit the ground spinning and take our first call. And who do we have on the line?

Caller: Hi, I’m Ed long time managing editor, first time caller.

DJ: Hi Ed. What’s your request and who are you dedicating it to? We’re here to make it happen.

Caller: Thanks Ariel. Since the Combine (think Cuckoo’s Nest) is flexing its fascist muscles right now, beyond what we allowed ourselves to believe was possible, and enveloping us all in a real fog, I need to hear some Rage Against The Machine; a song of your choice. And I’d like this to go out to everyone who voted for Kamala Harris and keeping full-blown fascism out of America. Please bring back our regular horrible kleptocrats. I miss them already.

Rage Against The Machine – Killing In the Name

Okay folks, though it’s always a pleasure playing your requests, this one’s from me to the late, great Hannibal Lecter…I mean Chief Bromden and to  all of you trying desperately to survive our dystopian present. Enjoy this quickie from Woody Guthrie – All You Fascists Bound To Lose.

Send us your requests and dedications and we’ll get ‘em on the air.
