So, it's my 22nd b-day today, and I decided to request the Chicks (Wide Open Spaces) on my local radio station, 93.9 the Wolf. When I called up and asked, the guy said, "The Chicks?? I haven't had anyone request them since I started working here. No one cares." To which I replied, "are you saying no one likes them?", and he said, "No, just that no one cares anymore." But, he did say he'd play it tomorrow, b/c he was getting done in about 15 mins after I called. I also requested that he STOP playing the new Sugarland song, "All I Wanna Do". I'm not sure if anyone else has heard it, but seriously, I just about died when I did. There wasn't a single song of there's that I didn't love before, and now there's one I HATE. But, this guy seemed shocked when I said that and asked me to sing the chorus line. Perhaps stupidly, I did so. So, if anyone listens to them tomorrow online (or if you happen to live in the area) you will probably hear me singing that song, very badly . Modified: I forgot to add that he's on from 3pm to 7pm tomorrow, EST. Hopefully if you don't live in that time zone you know how to convert that! Of course, that's IF he actually plays it. If he doesn't, I'll surely be calling in tomorrow, you can bet on that.

Wow. Happy B-Day, BTW. "All I Want To Do" does get on my nerves too. I saw them in concert back in November but they didn't sing it that I recall. I just skip it almost everytime when I play their new CD.

Oh yeah, hope they play the Chicks too, but I wanna hear just one chick...You!! Can't picture them talkin bout a Sug tune and play a DCX song in the same timespace though. But we'll see, and will report. Oh, yeah, and.... Happy Freegin Birthday !!!

Happy Bday! Ahhh, to be 22 again! If it's like the stations here, they tell you what you want to hear, then never play the song. I found out yesterday that my local country stations still have the Chicks blacklisted. Good Luck!

I found out yesterday that my local country stations still have the Chicks blacklisted. Good Luck! I agree....I'm listening right now, he's on 3-7pm, and almost an hour, and no song! But, if he DOESN'T put it on, you can bet I'll be calling back.

I missed it. Did they play you singing Sugarland too? Or just that.

Belated happy birthday, Ker8.
...and well done with requesting a DCX song at your radio station. We should definitely never give up trying, as hope usually prevails...

I like Sugarland but get that song stuck in my head all the time, what i hate about it is that I get that one line stuck in my head because i don't know the rest very annoying!

Yeah this may come as a shock to country radio stations but the Chicks still have fans that want to hear them on the radio it's not all about the bashers.
