Lovelines...
Every year at this time I wonder about how we 'do' Valentines on Get It On. I'm always tempted to an anti-love theme but that seems a bit mean. Maybe we could do year about?
Tomorrow we are going romantic though and I'll be asking for your lovelines. In other words, what are the best lines every written in a love song." I could drink a case of you..." would be mine but I look forward to receiving a bumper Valentines postbag from the bloggers. All sealed with a loving kiss of course.

Great, slightly surreal, lyric ( though not quite as surreal as 'Beyond the Sea'). Great Tune. Beautiful arrangement. Great performance from the greatest crooner of them all, imho.

Interesting point Adam, Rangers difficulties have ramifications much wider than the club. ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Scotland has put a lot of resource into the footie in the form of expanding Radio Oldfirm, which has cost Janice her show.
Poor timing - the time to do that was about 15 years ago when Scottish football looked as though it might have somewhere to go.
I think the strategy is seriously flawed. The ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Trust's pronouncement of speech daytime and distinctive Scottish music in the evening is, incredibly, based on a mere 1500 responses (including 'interested organisations') out of a population of 5m. Just because the majority don't bother to express their view doesn't mean they don't have one - probably more than 1500 people have signed off the petition to save Janice's show. It's the same problem with all market research based solutions, it's the ones not in the research that matter because they vote with their dial - but it's too late.
If Rangers are heading for the wilderness, much of the enthusiasm for the footie in the west with go with it, in my view, which is overdue anyway, the football in Scotland hasn't been a great product for years - this will only serve to shatter the illusion completely and speed up the decline.
That Radio Scotland has set such store by a declining product may be the undoing of the strategy.Once the west tune out new things will have to be devised to attempt to entertain - 'entertain' is the missing word in the Radio Scotland lexicon.
So a glimmer of hope for the henri hannah radio show - Get It On, the most entertaining show on the station was itself a six week filler for a slot that became spare after Scotland didn't qualify for the world cup (or so I read).
(Six weeks is all I need,Jeff.)
