Words by Tim Lewis.
I just got home from local music Internet Radio show number 8 on WBKM.ORG. It was a lovely walk down and the wind was blowing warm air on my face. I set a song in the queue to get set, then started.

Talked about loving Ninja, and if you thought the drumming was intense, remember, the guy is singing too. Talked about the Wards being the first Burlington punk band, and how they are still kicking. Asked, if we got Osama, why are we still in Afghanistan. Mentioned how good CC were and said goodnight.

Promo
I popped back on the mic and expressed my great pleasure that the fans just got a vote for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees and this year Rush was chosen. I queued up the following as I walked out the door
Closer to the Heart – Rush
Cygnus X-1 – Rush
Xanadu – Rush
Then the station went into the next regularly scheduled Jethro Tull song
The walk home had the wind at my back. It was so furious, I felt like a reverse comet.
