wOOt! HowdyHowdy, and all that good stuff. Time for the (drum roll please...or maybe a corn bread muffin) cj's radio olio Top Twenty Five! Yep, it's the top 25 tracks (34 this month) as rated by YOU, the Listeners to cj's radio olio.
All I can say in commenting on this list is: as usual, there's a lot of changes since last month; y'all are rating the short spoken word pieces more, which is cool; I like these tracks. (As always, I do not vote or in any way try to influence the voting.)
Again, go to http://www.geocities.com/claren44/toptwentyfive to see the new list. And keep on voting!
Love and Peace, Clarence

ps: check out the change-of-color scheme on the website. If you wanna comment on that, or anything else, email me at olioradio at gmail.com.

Eddy Guerrero was found dead this morning in his hotel room. He was 38. It appears to be a heart attack. Eddie was one of the finest wrestlers alive. He was fast, athletic, & great on the microphone. The strongest characteristic of Eddie was his Heart. He alwaysd gave the crowd his best, & brought a joie de vivre to the ring that few have ever matched.
He also was a recovering substance abuser, who had gotten his life back on track, his family back, & his pride back. He was, no, he Will Be a becon to those who have problems in life to show that you CAN earn your way back to a place of pride in your world.
He was a member of a multi-generational wrestling family. My prayers go out to his family, & to the millions of fans like me who are stunned by this news. God Bless Eddy, we'll miss you.
