"It's Bad For Me" August 1, 2008

(Week 133)

Alexander Woollcott (whose ashes are buried a very short distance from WHCL on the Hamilton College campus) famously said, "All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening." This RADIOLA! celebrates all that which does us absolutely no good--with a nod to Louis Armstrong along the way.

Tune in tonight to WHCL-FM (with streaming HERE)--and if you listen closely, you may actually hear Woollcott turning in his grave. Live365 gets the show soon thereafter.
