I hear about Wicks from Will Birch's Facebook...which is appropriate and poignant.

I'm not on FB, but I have a friend deeply involved in the, uh, secondary market in not-exactly-authorized recordings.

I love actual radio. I have fond memories of Rodney on the ROQ, the prog show on CSU Long Beach's radio station, and a weird Christian talk show featuring a Brother Paul in the LA area during the '80s. His theme song was Loggins & Messina's "Peace of Mind," which is not half bad, in retrospect.

Hey Grandma. Hey Mike Sin. Hey everyone. Is this the Moby Grape song about Robitussin? Yes it is!

Not to dwell, but I've been told that Nation of Ulysses has at least three songs about Robitussin.
  10:27pm

You've been told? By whom?

Told by my friend Ernest. He's usually right about these things.
