There's just one word that songwriters should really just try and avoid using in their songs. Curious what that word is? Just listen to this three-and-a-half-minute podcast, which might just be the best three and a half minutes you've spent all day.

It is a joy to hear Michael's late father and namesake, Michael J. Ronstadt, sing about sandwiches here.

Sad to hear about #BobUecker passing away. I met him once, interviewing him in a clubhouse. Having seen him on TV, I was surprised that he was not funny. I saw his serious side when I lived in WI. He was a Brewers broadcaster. As he said to end the last game at County Stadium, "Goodnight everybody."
