I must be mature. I don't think of the Lone Ranger. I think of A Clockwork Orange.

It's all about flow and mood, baby.  Flow and mood.

And Bill's a master of both.

I love caffeine — and classical music. I'd like RP to challenge us and branch out a little on the classical side, that's all. I do really like that they include it!

I'm sure that you're right, but this isn't a classical music station.  I just love the fact that Bill throws stuff like this into the mix.

Plus, "Thus Spake Zarathustra" is about as good as song titles get.

My dear ol' dad had this on vinyl, and we used to crank it up REAL LOUD! Dad would watch us 3 kids galloping around the living room, pretending we were riding horses, jumping over the dog, the coffee table, the toys.... and he would laugh his ass off!
Fun before the days of Cable TV.....
