Oh, you can't always ...

About what do these artists and their music say?

 

 

  

                        

What do we need? What do we want? What can we have? 

Dr. Love: radio show

 

 

Radio Host:  Okay, you’re on live.  Let's speak to ...I don't know who he is, but here he is...Mr. Memphis.  Take it away, Dr. Love.

Mr. Memphis: Okay…I wrote this girl a letter…I gave it to the postman and he put it in his sack…

Dr. Love:  So he put the letter in his sack, and…?

Mr Memphis:  (sobs) Bright and early next morning, he brought the letter back…

Dr. Love:  So, the letter was returned?

Mr. Memphis:  …she wrote upon it:  Return to sender, address unknown…(quiet sniffling)

Dr. Love:  You had a quarrel?  A lover’s spat?

Mr. Memphis:  I wrote “I’m sorry!” But my letter keeps coming back…(indistinct nose blowing).

Dr. Love:  So, the letter was returned....What did you do next?

Mr. Memphis:  So then I dropped it in the mailbox, sent it special D (delivery)…( ragged weeping)

Dr. Love:  And the next morning…?

Mr. Memphis: It came right back to me…RETURN TO SENDER…

Dr. Love:  And then what, what did it say?

Mr. Memphis  ...and, ‘No such person…No such zone’! (sobbing)

Dr. Love:  What the heck?  Well then, what will you do next?

Mr. Memphis:  This time, I’m gonna take it myself! (determined voice)

Dr. Love:  And put it right in her hand?  Isn’t that stalking?  I mean, really?

Mr. Memphis:  …if it comes back the very next day, then I’ll understand the writing on it…(sobbing, intermittent nose sniffing,)

 

Dr. Love:  I think that's best.  Take a hint.  Move on, buddy.  Move on...Next Caller, line 2...something about "Your Cheatin' Heart" you're saying?...
