Show Biz: Tuesday 03/31/09

*** Anytime you can get two Huey Lewis and the News songs on the show, especially ones that we don't play all the time, it's a good day.

The reason for the double-dip today...Sean Hopper's birthday. He's the keyboard player for the band.

First up, during the birthday segment, we featured "I Want A New Drug".





*** For the 80's Escape, the choice was "Walking On A Thin Line"





*** One more clip for you: Earlier in today's show we told you the story of the dumb criminal that attempted to break into a bank with a backhoe.

I joked that maybe he wasn't trying to steal any money, but he was just doing it because he always wanted to become a banker. A not-too-subtle reference -- among our many -- to a Seinfeld episode.

Whenever a bank, or a banker is mentioned now, the first thought for Jay and I is the classic Newman scene where he's trying to get Kramer to go along with a made up story about Kramer's desire to be a banker to help get Newman out of a speeding ticket.
