Sean is not dead! He just smells bad. Sorry, couldn't resist...

Tue. 2/3/09 7:23pm From: Sean Daily

Annie: One of the songs on Billy Jam's show (obviously an inferior show * ) had the line"Sean was dead" in its lyrics. It was sure news to me.

* = I have to say that every other DJ is inferior to the Old Codger. Otherwise he hits me with a broom.

Tue. 2/3/09 7:24pm From: Sean Daily

You better watch out, Courtney. That Methusalah is a real ladykiller.
