I've always regretted not writing down what the first song ever played on FFR was. It was spring of 2003 (March I believe) and I want to say it was either "VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO STAR" or "WKRP IN CINCINATTI".
I seem to recall it was something symbolic. I'm leaning toward the first one because that just feels right. An homage to the first video played on MTV.
At any rate, we CAN determine the final song to be played on FFR. I wanted to take suggestions from you guys on what it should be.
Keep in mind however, that in my heart of hearts I'm REALLY hoping this isn't the end. If I get the promotion I'm hoping for in the next year or two I would bring it back. I've also had a business idea for 3 or 4 years now that I think could actually utilize FFR to a small degree, if I ever make a move on that idea that would also be a reason to bring it back.
In the meantime, if I find I miss it too much I've even entertained the idea of just having a month of live broadcasting two or three times a year. (can you tell this hasn't been an easy decision for me?)
So the final song doesn't have to have a finality to it, or it can! What do you got for me?
An obvious choice to me was the Doors "The End", but that one seems a bit to negative for my taste.

In fact, I think it's perfect. I can't believe I missed it.
It is for me, the MOST defining song of the 80's. As an added bonus it doesn't say "goodbye", in fact it says EXACTLY what I want it to say, "Don't forget about FFR. Check back in a year, two years, we may just be back one day".
