Four Walls @FourWalls (86812) • United States 26 Aug 23

Oh, boy. As I’ve said all month long, there are songs that ended up on the Clear Channel Memorandum list that are understandable, and some that probably made it to the list because of the title or a line in the song. And then...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86812) • United States 4 Aug 20

Time for a massage! But first, time for another song that is half a century old. We older folks joke about how our music was better. Today’s song pretty much will prove it. Here’s a song from 1970 that you dang well...
