WKRP in Cincinnati!! What a great track.

I always liked it, although the TV show has completely faded: can’t remember a single character…

Those murder ballads creep me out, though. I always hated the Nick Cave album of that name, too.

I’d love to get my hands on an mp3 of Van Halen’s version of Big Bad Bill.

Hurrah, you’re in Ohio! ‘Bout time you got here. I’ll have some coffee waiting for you up in Columbus.

Grandpa Jones of Hee Haw fame had some success years ago with a sing called "Eight More Miles to Louisville". Also, "Big Bad Bill is Sweet William Now", done by Ry Cooder (Jazz) and Van Halen (Diver Down), mentions Louisville in its opening line. Learn something new every day, huh!
