	12:44am JakeGould: Didn’t Lee Dorsey own a car place? Like a repair or oil/lube place? That seems like a decent job.

	♥ 12:49am mariano: Lee Dorsey was/is a pretty big name in the New Orleans music scene, "Give It Up" is one of my all-time faves. Didn't know about the car place though, cool bit of trivia! Hey, what about Dolly Parton's "9 to 5"?

	2:07am BrassKnuckles: Sweet. I don't think I've ever heard Pavement played on this station which is kind of weird.
