PLAYLIST FOR “SALUTE TO OSCAR LOSERS” (2.23.13)

24 Feb

I was going to do a show of Oscar Winning Songs, but was afraid I’d have to play Rod Stewart’s cover of “It’s Hard Out Here For A Pimp.” So instead: each of these songs (except the last one) was nominated for an Oscar for Best Song in a Motion Picture; but every one of them lost.

SNOW JOKE REDUX

Did you like this week’s hint? Great! How’d you like another week to guess what the hint means? Double Great! I’ve got to put off that show for a week.We can all thank Winter Storm Nemo for this. I may never watch Finding Nemo ever again after this. And I may have to stop using the word mnemonic, too, although, in truth, I don’t often use that word anyway.

This Saturday tune in for a classic show from the Turntable For One archives.
