Smokey Robinson "Everything You Touch"

An out-of-work radio pal of mine just finished checking his voicemail, shook his head and told me he was sure someone was pranking him. "How so?" I asked.

"I got a message from some guy named Smokey Rivers," he explained.

"Smokey Rivers?" I asked?

"Yep," my friend said. "A guy told me a Program Director friend of his was looking for a new morning guy and that he'd be contacting me. There's no way his name is Smokey Rivers."

Having seen the name in the trades, I assured him Smokey Rivers was real.

The two eventually connected on the phone but Smokey didn't hire my friend. To this date, he still thinks he was punked.
