THE BEAT GOES ON

Some people think radio is dead. Some people say it’s just been turned over ... to Elton John. To those of us here in Detroit who thrive on the AM lifeblood of Windsor-based CKLW, perhaps North America’s greatest radio station, Elton’s two hour stint as EJ the DJ was a snore in the middle of an afternoon of programming that does not usually put one to sleep.

DEJA VU

Dig into the attic, find all that old Beatle memorabilia that you never thought you'd need again, and polish it off. With a few minor alterations, it might come in handy again. George is doing his tour, and there's no telling who'll be next. Be there or be square.
