Yes it should be show
Back when “Hey Jude” came out my friend and I called the request line over and over using as many ridiculous aliases as we could come up with. Imagine our delight when the DJ played the song and dedicated it to “Ernie sitting in a tree somewhere.”
Diving into my memory bank, one of the more memorable calls involved the only reference I ever heard on the show to a certain classic Canadian power-prog trio.
One day, a caller said he played in a band called Hot Sex, that did Rush covers. Bob replied, “Well, Rush have put out some pretty intelligent stuff; I can hardly imagine it being covered by a band called Hot Sex!” At that moment, the caller’s friend picked up the extension and started yelling, “Slayer is God.”
That kind of thing.
In the early 1990s, some scandals were exposed, including Bob’s own divorce, and multiple radio station cancellations because he did not hold back on his opinion of Bill Clinton (in short, he apparently believed the stories about drug running, serial killing, etc.) and I stopped listening to it even though it was on a station in the city where I moved in 1990s to attend college.
