It's important to me to get you thru the arc of a day musically. Quite a few of the tunes are feel good songs, geared toward giving little "pick me ups" to keep your day bright. We'll also play the best classics ever made. And we have some of the greatest "love" or "love lost" songs ever made (depending on what you're feeling in the moment}. We'll play plenty of both every day.
Most of our rap will be "music-centric" with some topical, entertainment and human interest stuff sprinkled in. I like to keep the music rolling fluidly, so I don't talk much. But I try to get in several thoughts of interest in a very quick manner over the course of the day.
Look forward to serving you up the tunes and I look forward to hearing from you. You can always check me out at Iheartradio.com Keyword: Cope OR follow me as CopeRocks on TWITTER.COM

Foreigner's Gramm To Retire 'Sooner Than You Think
Lou Gramm has stepped further back from talk of a reunion tour with his former band Foreigner by saying he's planning to retire in the very near future.
He and ex-colleague Mick Jones made contact again after nearly a decade of not talking after it was announced they'd be inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame next month.
Now Gramm says: "You know, I don't take any of that talk seriously. I've heard there was a mention, but honestly, I can't see that happening. I would have to see how it goes down, what it entails, how long it would be. There's a number of things that would make a difference to me, and I'm sure Mick feels the same way. I mean, after all those years you just can't jump into the deep water, you know."
In the same interview Gramm – who underwent surgery for a brain tumor in 1997 – says he frequently thinks about retiring. Asked if he's set a date he replies: "Maybe sooner than you think."

Town Comes Up For Air After 25 Years?
There used to be a musical called "Brigadoon" I remember seeing on TV as a little kid, about a town that only comes to the surface every hundred years. Well, there's a new ghost town in Argentina that has been buried under water for 25 years and it's recently surfaced. That's fascinating to me and here's a link to pictures and the story:
