Here's a Throwback Thursday post:
Over the years, I have receive many, many, many, many CDs in the mail.
Most come with some kind of bio information.
Some will include a handwritten note.
Often they may include a sticker.
Occasionally, you get a song/artist-related key chain or, if they've got a big budget, a free t-shirt.
But in my 20 years in radio, I have only received one promotional bologna sandwich.
It came in a flat envelope with the band's CD. The sandwich had been smooshed a bit.
It was one slice of bologna and one slice of yellow/orange cheese, on 2 pieces of white bread. It was in a sandwich bag, but the kind that just folds over at the top. There is no seal.
I did not eat it.
But I remembered the band.
And a year later, when they put out "Fire Water Burn" and had a silly, silly hit with it, I remembered the band, and the bologna sandwich, and I thought, "Yeah, that's about right."
Hear the song on Youtube.
