2 a"And I can't help thinking about how much I miss radio.
3 "Won't radio survive at all?"
4 Of course it will survive (said Charlie),
5 But nothing like the way it was,
6 Because rocking roll will spread out from your variety show into thousands of radio stations in every city, suburb, hamlet, and farm of the Most Chosen Nation on Earth,

8 Including bPink Freud,
9 cThe Why,

11 eSteppenfetch,
12 fScream,

2 However, I'll overlook your tone of voice,
3 And tell you about all the great TV game shows that will give everyone in the Most Chosen Nation a chance to earn fabulous prizes and oodles of cash,
4 sIncluding shows like 'I Love to Make Bad Deals,' where people will dress up like tchickens and stalks of celery so that the uhost will notice them and offer them a choice between Curtain No. 2 and Box No. 1,
5 Not to mention shows like 'I Love Guessing the Right Prices,' where people will win fabulous prizes by knowing exactly how much a bottle of salad oil costs, unless it's a vstation wagon instead,
6 wOr shows like 'I Love Tic Tac Toe,' where people will…
7 "No they won't," interrupted Ed.
8 "Is that the best you can do?"
