An R&B DJ anticipated my thought process--and likely that of many listeners--yesterday. Before taking a commercial break, he said an Ohio Players tune was coming up.
"No, not that one," he said. "No, not that one, either."
His timing matched my thinking without him specifying any song titles. Initially, I thought, "He'll probably play 'Fire.' Oh, not that one? It'll probably be 'Love Rollercoaster,' then. Those were the group's two biggest hits."
Instead, he played "I Want To Be Free." I hadn't expected that, but at least I knew to expect the unexpected.
