I Was Suprised to Hear These Two Songs In A Row (or at all)

In the cafeteria yesterday, I guess the radio was playing, and I heard two unexpected songs in a row:

 

1. "Touch My Body" by Mariah Carey. I had heard this in a taxi a few days before (and at the time I didn't know it was Mariah Carey), but my point is that this song is much too dirty for Chinese radio. Are they playing it in America?

 

2. "Travelling Light" by Joel Hanson and Sara Groves. It wasn't just that I heard a bunch of what you might call "worship keywords" (river, lay my burdens down, etc) it was that I instantly thought "Wait a minute, this is Joel Hanson." His is a voice I have known well since I was thirteen years old, Hanson being the singer of PFR, my favorite band when I was a teenager. I was kind of thrilled.

 

So there you have it. Chinese radio: sex ballads and Christian worship songs in succession.

 

ALSO, this is a depressing headline: "Jeff Buckley Remembered in Podcast."
