New Year - Building A Playlist, Part I

We talk New Year’s resolutions — changing your life in myriad ways. 

Diet. Exercise. Money. The famous “Work-Life Balance” discussion. 

——————————

Whatever we’re doing as 2023 unfolds, we all work with a soundtrack in the background. And, I’m using that term broadly here. 

Maybe the radio or streaming option opens up just on the way to/from work where a music station finds its way into the rotation alongside your “Morning Zoo” discussion of “news of the weird.” 

Maybe it’s the dog walk or workout background, as opposed to tapping into whatever your gym has on the television or your own tv.

Maybe you’re a lover of Broadway shows and musical —- you know - the actual soundtracks!

Anyway, I’m an amalgam of so many musical artists. As I write this, the ELVIS soundtrack is playing in the FOX Sports Radio studio following my Sunday show. I’ve got that - our “Countdown to Kickoff” show in the background and four televisions replete with game previews for Week 18 of the NFL season.

I promised a glimpse into my playlist and, I guess, how my brain works, while walking the dog earlier. 

So, let’s get at it. I’ve got a lot of tunes that roll in and out of the Dome. Here’s a good starter kit.
