Radio Comes to the Astrodome

Jesse Walker | September 13, 2005

Remember that radio station for the Astrodome's evacuees that the dome authorities decided to block? The organizers went back to the drawing board, and at noon central time today they'll start broadcasting from the parking lot instead.

Okay, have we come up with a play list for this radio station yet?

Here are some suggestions:

Refugee - Tom Petty (natch)
Rock you like a Hurricane - Scorpions
Blame it on the Rain - Milli Vanilli

Riding the Storm Out- REO Speedwagon

On second thought, no REO, they've suffered enough

DE:

The idiot officials are worried that the afflicted would riot from rap.

I think they would most certainly riot from Milli Vanilli.

I only know of this chipper little oldie because they used to sing it on Sesame Street -- "Windy" by The Association.

Also: "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" by the Animals.

I vote for "Here comes the rain again" by the Eurythmics followed by "The Day the Music Died" when the station is raided for playing Milli Vanilli

"Five Feet High and Rising" Johnny Cash

I trust they won't play "New Orleans" from Oh! Streetcar!
