I was on the bus on my way to office listening to fm on my mobile phone. "On air with Kenny Jones" was running on the channel and they were having a debate. Apparently some rockstar had insured his fingers for few million dollars. So the question to the audience was what part of their body would they be interested in insuring.
Well!! I just SMSed "I would insure my pink floyd definitely ...lol" :-D. Surprise of Surprises I got a call back in cpl of minutes with a deep voice at the other end of the line saying "Hey you are on air with Kenny Jones"!! I just broke out into my hyena laugh ... just couldn't control it despite the fact that a bunch of people on the bus craned their necks to look at where the weird sound was coming from. It took some time to gather myself and when I finally did, Kenny on the otherside of the line asked me the question again, "What part of my body would you insure". I said "My Pink Floyd". Then came the next question "why and how much would you insure it for?". I responded "It probably would run into some millions cos its hardly ever been used" to laughs from the other end of the line. Then they asked me something else, but I really couldn't get what was asked due to the noise on the bus. So they said have a nice day and closed the call.
Anyways ... I wasn't sure if they are really gonna play this on Air. But after a cpl of songs I heard "you are on air with kenny jones" followed by "hahahahaha ..." and other gutteral sounds. They looped the laugh over and over and they didn't play the talking part. pretty disappointed I was ... for having been denied the opportunity to get some cheap limelight :)
Anyways, in retrospect, I should have told them that I would insure my pink floyd for millions cos its gonna be a rock star ... cos he sings "Comfortably numb" very well!!! Anyways, I later asked them to play the same song on air but they refused saying it was too slow for the mornings
