Big Apple, Big Ego

A thought just crossed my mind while spinning this morning on Hot 96.9...


Has anyone ever called out Jay-Z for naming the song "Empire STATE of Mind", but only rapping about one city?  It's not even the capital of New York.  That would be like writing a song about Massachusetts but only rapping about Worcester.  I just tried to come up with lyrics about Worcester, but only got this far:

"Yeah, now I'm at the Palladium"

 Actually, this guy does a pretty good job:  Commonwealth State of Mind

Also, can we agree to stop playing "Empire State of Mind" before Boston Sporting Events?  I heard it playing at Gillette Stadium (through the TV) the other day and almost had to drive to Foxboro just to sit and have a passive-aggressive history lesson with their music coordinator.

And finally, can S'more-flavored PopTarts stop being so delicious?  400 calories-per-bag, 400% more diabeetus.
