50 years ago this week Paul McCartney's band, Wings, had the #1 song in the country with "Silly Love Songs." It spent five non-consecutive weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 making it the #1 pop song of the year. So let's fill our music set with love songs that are silly, lighthearted and unconventional. Hear your requests after 9 a.m.

School's out and it's time for summer recess. Let's get in on the fun with songs about play (of any kind). We'll see how things play out after 9 a.m. Please keep the music playing. Help us get a $75,000 challenge grant from a few generous WFUV donors. Be one of 500 listeners to give monthly for the first time or increase your monthly gift and earn a couple of bonus gifts as our way of saying thanks!

With the school year coming to a close we can now reflect on what we've learned - specifically what we've learned from rock 'n' roll. Lyrics are full of life lessons, adages...take-aways. Paul Simon offers, "One man's ceiling is another man's floor." Tracy Chapman reminds us, "All that you have is your soul." And "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need" is from The Stones.
