Sonic Overload 8/6/10

As is the custom for this week's Labor Day show, we pay tribute to the working men and women and will hopefully convey the frustrations of working life in this day and age and that’s if you can get a job, to begin with. But I won’t dwell on the negative. In addition, it’s time for the annual tributes to the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy telethon (sorta) and the returning students. Next week’s show will mark the 9th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks on the US. I’ll be doing it a few days late and will treat as more of a tribute to those who lost their lives (including a close friend), as well as offering a critique of what’s happened in the interim. It won’t take up the entire show but an acknowledgment is certainly necessary...
