Yesterday was Mike Marrone’s fiftieth birthday. And he had the idea that I should substitute for him on the Loft. So, when I was at XM two weeks ago, we created six hours of programming. I couldn’t turn on the radio yesterday until about four, an hour after I started, but when I pushed the button on my boombox, I was shocked. Because it was my choices. And then me, coming over the airwaves.
Now Mike has got 13,000 plus songs in his library. And I was rushing to catch a plane. So, I quickly picked tracks. After hearing myself I was so elated that I fired up my Inno and recorded what was left of my show. People always ask me what I listen to, well, here you go.

Buy American & Build in Mexico – Ford’s Mark Fields
So a Mexican-built car is Ford’s hedge in the American market against Japanese-branded cars built on US soil. This is getting more and more confusing. But wait – there’s more.
Fields bragged that Ford’s new hybrids are “posting record sales of late” and their “innovations led to more than 130 patents,” with more pending. The Ford exec conveniently omitted the fact that Ford’s hybrid technology depends on technology licensed from Toyota. Nor did he mention the Japanese-made transaxles and battery packs and German-built regenerative braking systems which make Ford’s hybrids possible.
