Every morning WFUV asks its listeners to pick songs that answer a question. Today, since it is Boxing Day listeners, were questioned about songs about boxes or boxers. When I listen at about 6:45 I am busy making and eating breakfast, so I don't get a chance to vote. Listeners can vote at https://wfuv.org/question . Corny O'Connell plays the winning theme set at about 9:10. The songs played were:
- Rosanne Cash "Tennessee Flat Top Box"
- Wilco "Box Full of Letters"
- Warren Zevon "Boom Boom Mancini"
- The Grateful Dead "Box of Rain"
I assume Corny makes the selection, but it could be Ross Boris, the music director.
I would have voted for The Boxer by Paul Simon and Hurricane by Bob Dylan, considering the story of boxer Ruben Carter. On second thought, they could have played a hit by the Box Tops.
