Show Biz: Tuesday 03/17/09

*** Happy St. Patrick's Day. Baby Jack Capron is sporting the green this morning.

However you choose to celebrate, be smart about it. Jack, as a matter of fact, will be drinking today -- but not driving.

Not sure exactly what it is he's drinking, but I have confidence that he will be responsible about it.


*** As you can imagine, music from Irish bands are the norm today, so for the birthday tie-in, we featured some U2.

Went off the playlist for you today -- always love doing that -- with one of their big hits from 1991's Achtung Baby, with the song "Mysterious Ways".





*** Sinead O'Connor -- about as Irish as they come -- was our featured artist for the 80's Escape.

You may not remember this song, which is kind of the point with his feature, it was a modest rock hit for O'Connor back in 1989.

We played it fairly regularly at my college station, for whatever that's worth.

The tune is called "Emperor's New Clothes".





*** Of course, it goes without saying, there's no one as Irish as Barack Obama.
