Can somebody tell me what was the last song in the first hour. Was it Naked Eyes' "Promises Promises", Eddie Money's "Take Me Home Tonight", or something else? Thanks.

Dear Casey,
When I first met Bobbie Kaminski, I didn't know what to think of her. She had these piercing blue eyes that felt like they could see through your soul. I have to admit that I was a little intimidated by her. But then I cracked a joke, and the most beautiful smile appeared on her face & she threw her head back in laughter. And from that day forward, she was forever have a special place in my heart. Bobbie had this tough exterior, but underneath was this amazingly tender and loving person. I remember she had this dog she found on the street named Jojo. Not the prettiest dog in the world, but Bobbie (being Bobbie) managed to look passed the outside and see what was really there: a loving creature that desperately needed to be loved. Casey, Bobbie had been fighting cancer for the past 3 years. She put up a valiant effort, but in the end her spirit was stronger than her body & she passed away on August the 27th. I think my biggest regret will be that I didn't get the chance to tell her how much I admired her. Could you please play "The Flame" for Bobbie, Casey? It's by her favorite group: Cheap Trick. Thanks.
