The deadline for entries is April 23, 2012.  Entry forms, along with contest rules and a conplete description of the writing prompt are available at www.rpec.org, or by .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

Why are they so damn nervous??? presents:

The 12 Fl. Oz. ShowWhy are they so damn nervous???

Even my Republican listeners and friends can agree that this crop of GOP misfits is misguided at best. Tonight I'll be playing songs all about the things that are making Santorum (like the definition of his name) and Romney squeamish: Loretta Lynn's 'The Pill', Willie Nelson's 'Cowboys are Secretly Frequently (Fond of Eachother)', Willie Dixon's 'Violent Love', Robbie Fulks' 'God Isn't Real', Black Joe Lewis' 'Humpin' and dare I play Deke Dickerson's 'Poon-Tang'? You'll have to tune in to find out. Join me TONIGHT from 7-9pm at 97.3 FM in Richmond and online at www.wrir.org!
