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.

    I hope to listen from Frank Sinatra: katrina is a trap!

  2. Mr. Nice Guy   20 years ago

    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

  3. dead_elvis   20 years ago

    Riding the Storm Out- REO Speedwagon

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

  4. Mr. Nice Guy   20 years ago

    DE:

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

    I think they would most certainly riot from Milli Vanilli.

  5. dead_elvis   20 years ago

    When the Levee Breaks- pick your version
    followed by
    Welcome to the Jungle

  6. Stevo Darkly   20 years ago

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

  7. Stevo Darkly   20 years ago

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

  8. Kwix   20 years ago

    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

  9. Meyer   20 years ago

    "Five Feet High and Rising" Johnny Cash

  10. Jesse Walker   20 years ago

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

  11. ohyeah   20 years ago

    Welcome to the Terradome - public enemy

  12. Shelby   20 years ago

    Radio beat the Astrodome czar...

  13. Katrina and the Waves   20 years ago

    Walking on Sunshine.
