FOR ERIC’S CASSETTE COLLECTION on this busy Friday, crank your radio up because we’re rocking Ted Nugent ahead of his show at Waukesha County Fair tonight! “Cat Scratch Fever” is a hard rock classic that can warm you up for this show tonight and/or for Saturday at the 70s tomorrow. Cat Scratch Fever is a real condition: it's an infectious disease caused by a cat scratch that usually affects young children. Nugent, however, changes the meaning to make it much more lustful, with the "cats" being women. I thought it was about wanting to pet cats when I was little (in a way, it is.) And they used this song in the Garfield movie, as well as movies like Private Parts, Detroit Rock City, Beer For My Horses, and Welcome to Marwen. The Simpsons have featured the song; so did American Dad! and Nip/Tuck. The signature riff is one reason it was named the 32nd-best hard rock song of all time by VH1. It peaked at #30 on the US Billboard HOT100 chart in 1977, also making the Top 40 in Canada. Let’s make your Friday purr with Ted Nugent’s “Cat Scratch Fever” just after 8am on Lake961! – Eric Paulsen

For ERIC’S CASSETTE COLLECTION, our creed is to play throwbacks, especially when that artist is coming to town, and Creed will be at Alpine Valley this weekend, with Nickelback and Daughtry and more, part of the Summer of ‘99 and Beyond Festival. We’re warming you up for it with Creed’s “My Sacrifice” off their album Weathered. Written by lead singer Scott Stapp, "My Sacrifice" refers to a personal struggle, a journey through darkness, and ultimately, a reconnection with oneself and potentially with a loved one. It explores themes of overcoming adversity, finding emotional healing, and the idea of giving something up for something more important. All with a pretty consistent guitar background. Released just 5 weeks after 9/11, “My Sacrifice” stayed on the charts a long time, ultimately reaching #4 on the US Billboard HOT100 in early 2002. It also went top 20 in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and the UK. It got a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, though not a win (nor did Weird Al Yankovic do a parody, which is the ultimate salute, but I digress…) Let’s get you warmed up for this weekend at Alpine Valley with Creed’s “My Sacrifice” just after 8am on Lake961! – Eric Paulsen

welcomes MINNIE! 🐾

The little sweetheart is a 6-year-old Maltese mix - she's a little shy, but warms up pretty quickly! She's good with other dogs, but not too sure about cats!

Make an appointment to meet her at Lakeland Animal Shelter, but be sure to fill out an adoption application at lakelandanimalshelter.org right away! ❤ Applications are good for 6 months, so even if you're not quite ready for a furever friend now, get in your app so you're ready when the right one comes along! 🙂

🆘 NOTE: The shelter needs donations of CAT FOOD (WET AND DRY - NO RED FOOD DYE) and CAT LITTER!

For ERIC’S CASSETTE COLLECTION, it’s a “New Wave Wednesday,” let’s go with Missing Persons and their early 80s hit, “Destination Unknown” - because life is SO strange, right? Missing Persons consisted of Dale Bozzio, her then-husband Terry Bozzio, and William Cuccurullo, among others. The Bozzios did a lot of work with Frank Zappa, but as their own band had a few hits and stood out amongst the emerging New Wave groups. “Destination Unknown” takes a philosophical look at life’s unknowns, particularly relating to the end of life, in counter to its fairly upbeat synth-pop sound. Recorded at Frank Zappa’s Utility Muffin Research Kitchen studio, it first came out on the band’s self-titled EP and then was released as a single in September, 1982 while it appeared on their debut studio album Spring Session M. The just JUST missed the top 40 in the US, peaking at #42 on the Billboard HOT100 chart. The song has been featured in one of the Grand Theft Audio games and covered by Smashing Pumpkins, Joan Jett, even the Chippettes from Alvin and the Chipmunks. We’ll stick with the original: “Destination Unknown” from Missing Persons just after 8am on Lake961! – Eric Paulsen

For ERIC’S CASSETTE COLLECTION, I have a good “diss” track, if you will, from 1974. It’s
“You’re No Good” by Linda Ronstadt, who turns 79 today. The song, from her album Heart Like A Wheel, was actually written by a guy, Clint Ballard, Jr. It’s about a woman who comes to the conclusion that the guy she split from was trouble from the start (everyone has one of those in their lives, right?) It was released by a few artists in the 1960s, but Linda’s version went to #1 on the US in February 1975 - her only song to top the chart. Let’s all think of somebody when birthday girl Linda sings “You’re No Good” just after 8am on Lake961! – Eric Paulsen

For ERIC’S CASSETTE COLLECTION, Paul McCartney has announced a North American Tour - in 2025. Yes, the 82-year-old is hitting the road and that includes two dates at United Center in Chicago November 24th & 25th! In salute, I’m gonna play a cool and funky jam from his Wings days called “Goodnight Tonight.” Rife with flamenco guitar, a hint of disco, and a great bass line, “Goodnight Tonight” was released as a single and not on any original Wings album, although it was included on his All The Best! album in 1987 and later added to a re-released of Back to the Egg. Released in March of 1979, “Goodnight Tonight” hit #5 on the U.S. Billboard HOT100 and the British chart. It may be Monday morning, but let’s say Goodnight Tonight just after 8am on Lake961! – Eric Paulsen
