Our Misfortune

And another thing. It should be bad enough that Jo Whiley has introduced a feature on her radio show called 'Changing Tracks', uncannily similar to the vomitfest known as 'Our Tune' inflicted by Simon Bates a few years ago. However, to make matters worse, today's listener picked an entirely inappropriate track to mourn the death of her sister - 'One' by U2. It's a great song but surely she realises that it expresses anything but affection. This phenomenon also occurs when people choose 'Song for Whoever' by the Beautiful South, a brilliantly cynical anti-love song, in those truly horrid love dedication spots - I've heard played at least twice. In this case, it is possible that the requesters know what they are doing and are just being cruel, but I think it is unlikely. Listen to the lyrics, people!
