Salutations™!!
I decided that it is time for the end. Finis, finir, fin, the last, going out, ending. Yep. Songs about the end, being death, stopping, Armageddon, whatever. All songs have something to do with an ending. It doesn’t really have to be finality, nor do the titles have to reflect an end. Here’s your setlist!

What are some of your favorite songs about “the end?”
Do you have ideas for show topics? I’d really love to hear your ideas because eventually (any day now), I’m going to run out of things to talk about out of my feeble brain.
Also, you don’t have to be “local” to listen. We are an internet-based radio station and are licensed to broadcast anywhere in the US, Canada, Mexico, and the UK. We broadcast out of the Omniverus Studios at Liberty Plaza.
Your next question may be: well, how do we listen? We have you covered on that. The Camel City Radio app is available on both the Apple Play and Google Play stores, so we are compatible with any iOS or Android device. Also, we now have our Alexa Skill. All you have to do is say, “Alexa, play Camel City” and Bob’s your uncle. You don’t even have to say “radio” (because she takes me to some weird Pandora channel). Just “Camel City.” And now, we are on the Audacy directory. Listen anywhere on the web or in an app.
You can comment here, send an email or call 336-462-8660 and leave a voicemail. We will play your VM on the air (unless you tell us not to).
Listen to The Rose Garden of Doom on Camel City Radio on Saturday mornings at 10a-until. Eugene has The Non-Conformist Cult Radio Show on Friday Nights, 8p-10p. And our Wednesday munchie fest, The Evening Chill from 7p until 11p!
Until next time, same blog channel at some blog time…
Scorp out!

“The killer awoke before dawn. He put his boots on. He took a face from the ancient gallery and he walked on down the hall. He went into the room where his sister lived, and then he… Paid a visit to his brother, and then he… He walked on down the hall, and… And he came to a door. And he looked inside. ‘Father?’ ‘Yes, son?’ ‘I want to kill you.’ ‘Mother, I want to…'” – “The End” (Morrison/Densmore/Krieger/Manzarek)
