Request Line: Cities

 

I’m pressed for time, so there will sadly be no introductory sketch for Request Line this week.  Last week’s theme was “Makin’ Movies” and quite naturally that topic bled into songs about Hollywood.  So I thought I’d extend that theme into this week and make this week’s topic all cities.  Since it’s such an absurdly rich topic, and since the draft is fast approaching, I’m adding a twist – once a city has been selected, it is OFF THE BOARD.  If you’re selecting a song that doesn’t include the city name in the title, make sure you put that city name IN YOUR COMMENT so other folks will know it’s been taken.  I’ll get us started by taking my current hometown of Los Angeles off the board with the classic from X.

Cell phone service is not that expensive, but that takes commitment and you just don’t have it.

Nothing lasts, nearly everything lingers in life.

Christ, what an underrated band. BERLIN is off the board. ACHTUNG!!

You choose that, and you had Robert Johnson’s “Sweet Home Chicago” sitting right there? All of us are SMH right now.
