New Regime

[daveB from Oakland]

Farewell and best wishes, Abba Box ... and hello, Squeaky! It's not such a bad trade-off. I find Squeaky to be an affable and charming co-host. Looking forward to hearing more of his (or her?) thoughts and opinions.

[joanna]

the loss of abba box is the hardest blow, as far as i'm concerned. not just because i like abba and hearing the songs, but mostly because i will miss tom talking to abba box as if it's a dear friend.

come back, abba box.

[dave from knoxville]

I am entertaining a theory that the Abba Box broke it off with Tom after it got a gander at the grandeur that is Zachary Brimstead.

[yesno]

I will miss the Abba Box because I liked Tom's plan to play every song off if it at least once on the air.

[Bryan]

Tom's use of the ABBA box converted me to the band's charms. I'd previously loathed them, but now I love 'em.

ABBA: Now I get it!

[Miss]

I am so out of the loop it hurts.

[Sarah]

I just said Myanmar to be topical.

You and those Kardashian fillies, Pete.

And, swiss, hello!  I evoked your spirit in the chat last night.

[ChronoMojo]

Man... now we're going to have to change the opening montage again...

Dave:  Dave from Knoxville...
Tom:  ...  ...  ... caller!

[masterofsparks]

I was just wondering where you were, swissmiss.

[Martin]

I said it in the chat and I'll say it again: he still has the Agnetha Box.

[SJK]

I will say this and try to let it go.

Even though I know the designation was hung on me arbitrarily, it was one of the most fun things in my life in a long time. I have the poster framed and mounted in my office; it never fails to provoke a question or laugh.

Just as it was awarded arbitrarily, it was taken in the same way, a result I thought would come much earlier (I even commented on air one night about worrying when Lucy/Tom would pull the ball out from in front of me,) but now that it's happened, I gotta admit, my mood is dark. I will get over it, but more days like this I do not want to go through.

Many people here sure have been kind about it, though, so that's a start back. Now me and Andre 3000 are going to go have dinner.

DFK, I think I heard your heart break on the air last night...you were completely side swiped. Think of it as a new beginning. Besides, Tom gave you a lot of leeway that wouldn't be afforded to just any caller. You're a supercaller in our hearts and minds! Same for Erika and Paycheck!

Also, if I got a copy of your book, would you sign it for me?!

[kimota]

Right.  I think DFK showed what a supercalller he'll always be in that despite getting side swiped, he still went on with the call like a pro.
