For the third straight day, Governor Pawlenty will be a guest radio host. On Monday and Tuesday, Pawlenty was the guest host on WCCO (which hosts his weekly radio show). On Wednesday, Pawlenty's schedule says he'll host KKMS "Live with Jeff and Lee" at 3 pm on 980 AM.
Pawlenty's recent radio exploits make me think of LL Cool J's hit song I can't live without my radio:
My radio, believe me, I like it loud
I'm the man with a box that can rock the crowd
Walkin' down the street, to the hardcore beat
While my JVC vibrates the concrete
I'm sorry if you can't understand
But I need a radio inside my hand
Don't mean to offend other citizens
But I kick my volume way past 10
My story is rough, my neighbourhood is tough
But I still sport gold, and I'm out to crush
My name is Cool J, I devastate the show
But I couldn't survive without my radio
