Huey Lewis and the News / WRIF / WPLJ

A few weeks ago we went to see Huey Lewis at the Rose Music Center just north of Dayton, Ohio.  Huey's voice and the band sounded great (especially the horn section) and, except for a couple new songs and an a cappella section in the middle of the set, consisted of nothing but hit after hit.  "Do You Believe in Love" "Workin' for a Livin'" and "Heart and Soul" (their best song...IMO) were particular highlights.  I could go the rest of my life without ever hearing "The Power of Love" again but it was still nice to see it live.

WBNY




Little is known about Commander Bunny and his pirate shortwave station WBNY.  The last post on his Facebook page was in 2012 where he claims to be from Missoula, Montana.  He uses a post office box in Belfast, New York for written communications but this mail drop is clearly owned by a third party that forwards the mail to him.  Commander Bunny also relayed other shortwave pirate signals via his WBNY Relay Service.
Take a listen you slack-jawed, lip-drooling, knuckle-dragging, big, dumb, monkey-boy!
