I was driving home from the vet this morning and was listening to 103.1. Someone called and said, "Dickey. I'd like to request something." He asked what. The guy says, "Pogues! Pogues! Pogues!"
I haven't heard a Pogues song on the radio in over 10 years, let alone someone requesting one. I got super excited. I kind of bummed out when they played "Haunted." The version on the "Sid & Nancy" soundtrack, no less. I dealt with it. Leave it to fucking Dickey Barrett to play that song. Then he gave his psuedo-knowledge of the Pogues upon completion of that song.
Then a little while later some ass-clown calls up and says, "Hey Dickey. You're doing a great job. I don't get the radio station out east so I'm listening to you online. Who did that song you played a while ago? It was something like Mars Walters."
Then someone else called and said, "Can you play some Operation Ivy?"
Sure thing.
I got excited again. Operation Ivy is one of my favorite bands. Leave it to fucking ska-man Dickey Barrett to play "Sound System."

Dickey Barret of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones?
Doesn't Danny Bonaducci also have a radio show?
Yes, Dickey of the Bosstones. Danny had a morning show a few years ago, but I think it's done now. I think he got fired.
