93.7, The Prince... Mock Memo

wall, if one of them should happen to reach maturity we'd
(bladidybla)...1998 dead eagles on the wall....."

Um, uh, how about... "The eagle has landed...(screams)  Boston!  We
have a problem! (fade up "1999" and sfx Prince scream.  Big boy voice
under/out.)

Someone stop me.... Repeat ten times, "New is good.  Good is new.  New
is good....Then close with, "Finally, a station on the radio in Boston
