2,000th Hit!
Please note that these people are not us. I do wish that I had a pair of those glasses though.
We are very excited to report that only two days after celebrating our 1,000th hit, we are now celebrating our 2,000th hit! Thank you people out there.

The Beatles — All You Need Is Love
Performed in 1967 and was the first global television link. It was broadcast to 26 countries around the world and viewed by 350 million people. The Beatles certainly had the world by the balls, huh?
Might sound kind of cliche or simple, but really, all you do need is love. Well, that and food. And clothes. You need clothes to protect you from the elements. So, love food and clothes is all you need. Oh wait, then there’s a home. Dammit, I thought this was going to be easy.

From Jambands.com:
SIRIUS’ Grateful Dead channel will celebrate Jerry Garcia with nine days of special programming from his birthday on August 1 to the anniversary of his death on August 9. “Jerry Week” will feature music from Garcia’s various bands and side projects, including the Jerry Garcia Band, Legion of Mary and Old & In The Way.
