The end...
"Zits"...It didn't sound like the most promising theme for the last letter in our themes A-Z but ' the songs you remember when you had them' turned out to be one of the best in the entire series. The music was fantastic, the anecdotes and memories had me smiling all night long and as always with themes like this the shared experiences brought together Get It On listeners from around Scotland.
I wish I had more time to get round to some of the stories but you can read them on the blog or on our Facebook page. If you are on Facebook just search for Get It On With Bryan Burnett.
Tonight we are going to go back to one of the best themes suggested for our A-Z that we didn't have time to do. It's excellent endings, so lets have your suggestions of the songs that finish well.
Tommorow's theme will be decided on air tonight and I'll post details on the blog after the show. Next week we return to 'normal' service, but it's struck me how much more fun it is reading through the blog comments when I only post one theme thread at a time. Would you prefer to do it that way or would you like to have all the themes written up in one post?

Paolo is right, hard to bet Won't Get Fooled Again.
Bowie - Ziggy Stardust or Jean Genie, both great endings.
Springsteen - Thunder Road (pulling out of here to win etc....)
Jam - Down In The Tube Station At Midnight (the train pulling out and the band coming back in again)
Rush - Spirit of The Radio
also Suspicious Minds is great

Hearing it reminded me that my friend went to all sorts of lengths, or so she said, to procure the record for me - if it wisnae in the charts, it certainly wisnae in McKenzie's record shop on Bute, the most famous island in Scotland today.
