I was driving back from the Boston area just a month ago on St.
Patricks' day (a Saturday) and heard some of his show while I was on
the Jersey Pike. Because it was a saint's day, his theme was angels
one half hour, devils the next, etc. I was never that big a fan of
what Dylan calls "theme time radio hour". When we were on 'BRU,
brother David and I used to holler at Flash Norton for playing "word
games" with record titles. But Pete had good taste in music (so did
Flash).

Agreed, Adam. We regarded "title segues" as sort of the easy way out. But maintaining a theme with really good songs and creative segues is how I'll always remember 'BRU at its most listenable - and you and "Little Brother" were two of the best.
