Airplanes!

People often ask me where I come up with ideas for this program…my answer is always the same… you know that feeling when it’s Sunday night and you promise yourself you’ll start on that assignment that’s due the next morning as soon as “the Simpsons” is over?...

Yeah, that’s me…every week…and after more than 700 of these one-hour assignments stretching back to 1993, I hit a wall…total writer’s block…

I started to panic…there are hard deadlines…I have a contract…I’m expected to deliver another new show…there are radio stations all over the place that need new programming from me…what the hell am I gonna talk about this time when I got nothin’?...

I mean, this is the seven hundredth and forty-sev—

Wait…show number 747?...that’s the same as the airliner…what about stories of alt-rock and airplanes?...

And so I started go back through all my files—and sure enough, there’s tons of stuff on the subject…plane crashes, near-misses, air rage, terrorist bombings…

Well, that settles it…show number 747 will be able civil aviation and alt-rock…there…that wasn’t so hard, was it?...
