Topic: Falco

A recent meetup at Pizzeria Violetta in Oakland featured a six-year-old fan named Violet who was "irked" at being missed in a previous birthday shout-out. The event included donations from "Fast Eddie of Alameda" and "Sir Lawrence of Dystopia." Listener questions touched on the meaning of the song "Der Kommissar" by Falco and the identity of "Lola" in the Kinks' classic track.

The economic crisis puts pressure on Italian and French banks while leaders ignore the original Maastricht Treaty rules regarding debt-to-GDP ratios. A YouTube parody of Falco's music serves as propaganda criticizing George Papandreou's handling of the Greek bankruptcy.
