Ninety-Fourever Shall You Rock!

  Deceased: 94 WYSP, Friday, September second, along with things like the Extreme Team, the Danny Bonaduce morning show, Mandatory Metallica, Eight from the Eighties (etc.), at three P.M. It went peacefully, with one last "THANK YOU, PHILLY!" and Metallica's "Fade to Black" its funeral hymn. WYSP, which stood for "Your Station Philadelphia," was known for playing "the rock you grew up with" and is fondly remembered by many. Up to the end they kept a smile on their face, thanking the listeners and reminiscing on the good old times, even bringing back some of their old DJs, such as Tommy Conwell, to join in. And, for the first and only time, Boyz II Men were played, as the second-to-last song on Spike's afternoon show. 
  Thank you, WYSP. 

"FADE TO BLACK"

BY METALLICA

Life, it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters, no one else

I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Things not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this can't be real
Can't stand this hell I feel

Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now he's gone

No one but me can save myself, but it's too late
Now I can't think, think why I should even try

Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye

*Goodbye*
