Campus Announcement

14) "Tomorrow Never Knows"
This was my last edition of this show and I think I played an excellent album. While musicforthemorningafter may never be on a list of the 100 Greatest albums, Revolver is usually in the top five. And it's not an exaggeration - this is a superior album. If you tuned in, you'd know why. I'd like to do this show again; it was a neat experiment. Tune in the station sometime in the fall for more fun.
[I've gone back and edited the titles to count the shows in a continuous processsion.]
