A petty fixation LI

I was irritated with myself once when I finished an air break on KCOU.  "'Sit back and relax?'  Did I really just say that on the air?" I thought.  "That's such a cliche.  From now on, I'm resolving not to tell listeners to sit back and relax, even when I'm about to play relaxing music.  For good measure, I won't tell them to be tense and uptight, either--not that I was planning to say that anyway."
