With the school year coming to a close we can now reflect on what we've learned - specifically what we've learned from rock 'n' roll. Lyrics are full of life lessons, adages...take-aways.  
 
Paul Simon offers, "One man's ceiling is another man's floor." Tracy Chapman reminds us, "All that you have is your soul." And "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need" is from The Stones.
 
Share a line from a song that has stuck with you as words of wisdom. We'll spin a set.

Hear your requests weekdays after 9 a.m.
Today's set:

  • The Smiths "Ask" 
    Shyness is nice and shyness can stop you from doing all the the things in life you’d like to
  • Simon & Garfunkel "Old Friends/Bookends" 
    Preserve your memories
    They're all that's left you
  • Janis Joplin "Me and Bobby McGee"
    Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose
  • Bob Dylan "Gotta Serve Somebody"
    Well, it may be the Devil or it may be the Lord, but you know you're gonna have to serve somebody
