Once got a request at my college radio station MANY years ago from an inmate at Salem Jail asking for War Pigs by Black Sabbath. No threat. He wanted me to dedicate it to the Marblehead Police. I think we had it and I said I’d play it but sorry, would not do the dedication. “Pumped Up Kicks” in news this wk when someone posted a threat to a middle school on the song’s YouTube video—giving the time and place when a supposed Columbine-type event would happen (”better run run run, outrun my gun”)..
Play Misty for Me
BS University - must have a lot of alumni who are dims.
Such INCOMPLETE reporting!
Did they play the song or NOT?
um, that is why we have napster? choose your own songs?
They said they didn’t have the song. I suppose they could have gotten it online via YouTube or Grooveshark if they had to.
“Number one with a bullet”
They should find the song and play it in an endless loop in his cell for as long as he is in the pokey. lol
Also in Bridgewater...the other Bridgewater State. Albert
DeSalvo the Boston Strangler (supposedly?) was an inmate;
briefly escaped but caught and transferred to Walpole.
Wikipedia:
>>Bridgewater State Hospital, located in southeastern Massachusetts, is a state facility housing the criminally insane and those whose sanity is being evaluated for the criminal justice system. It was established in 1855 as an almshouse. It was then used as a workhouse for inmates with short sentences who worked the surrounding farmland. It was later rebuilt in the 1880s and again in 1974. Bridgewater State Hospital currently houses 386 inmates all of whom are adult males. The facility was the subject of the 1967 documentary Titicut Follies. Bridgewater State Hospital falls under the jurisdiction of the Massachusetts Department of Correction.
Bridgewater State U. has a football team? I went to Salem State U. (Salem State College at the time) and we never had one

I know one guy with a degree from Bridgewater State... He’s a “No Labels” guy. So, yeah, he’s basically a Dim.
