December 7, 2001: It began with J.B. introducing his old buddy Eddie Money to belt out the National Anthem prior to the Los Angeles Clippers/Utah Jazz NBA Basketball game. Then, at the end of the first quarter, the festivities continued with an "ARROW 93 Name that Tune Contest" — three prime ARROW listeners competing for a cache of CD's at mid-court. With Led Zeppelin blaring over the Staples Center PA and the ARROW 93 section chanting "Joe! Joe! Joe!", a great time was had by all. Except for the Clippers, who eventually lost. They really should have brushed up on their "Name that Tune" song list!

J.B. and his old buddy Eddie Money.
Jim, Mark & D.K. realize Staples Center is huge
and then the rules are laid down!
Jim blows it; D.K. goes for it!
The contest would have gone longer,
but those big guys got awful pushy. Why, oh why?
