WAGE, Loudoun County’s only radio station went silent this week. Some of my earliest memories of radio center around listening to WAGE in the morning when I was getting ready for elementary school. They used to have morning trivia and I won the contest several times with the help of my parents.
The station began as local news, talk & music, later changed to country and finally to all local news and talk. Now it’s off the air and there will likely never be a local radio station in Loudoun County again.
Obama turns out to be brilliant at becoming, not being, president.
Dan Simmons Interview with Onion AV Club
“
The Texas sun beats down upon me
Like the Devil’s smile
I’d rather be anywhere else than here
Was it a blinding lack of subtlety
Or just a lack of style
Responding to the ways and means of fear?
CHORUS:
Take me back to New Orleans
And drop me at my door
‘Cause I might love you, yeah,
But I love me more
VERSE 2:
My fingertips are bitten
‘Til there’s nothing left but skin
I’d rather be anyone else right now
The light that shone within my eyes
Is slowly growing dim
She told me where, told me when,
But never said how
CHORUS:
Take me back to New Orleans
And don’t call me anymore
‘Cause I might love you, yeah,
But I love me more
BRIDGE:
(She said) How can I make this unhappen?
(I said) You cannot make this unhappen
Choose before your choices fade away
(She said) I could be home by tomorrow
(She said) If I could beg, steal, or borrow
I said you’re there, you might as well stay
VERSE 3:
The morning mist arises
Through another crack in the glass
The lack of sleep has made me numb
But sometimes when she sleeps
She’ll turn and she’ll whisper his name
That cake must taste great
But I’ll pass when you offer me some
CHORUS:
Take me back to New Orleans
And drop me at my door
‘Cause I might love you, yeah,
But I love me more
END CHORUS:
Take me back to New Orleans
And don’t call me anymore
‘Cause I might love you, yeah
I might love you, yeah
I might love you, yeah,
But I love me more
I love me more
I love me more
