HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (1.14.12)

11 Jan

Hint:

Here’s a partial list of people who could be on Turntable For One this week. What do they all have in common?

Paul Simon, Justin Beiber, Jay Leno and David Letterman, Anthony Perkins, W.A. Mozart, Natalie Cole, Joan of Arc, and on and on…

I’m not certain they’ll all make it, but I hope you will. Something sinister is afoot, although not exactly.

Saturday night at 10:00 — Live radio on WMNR-FM, and WMNR.org
