This is your brain on Hogs…and Nikki.

My friend Blake pointed out to me after my first Bacon in the Morning of the summer that I tend to play OK Go’s This Too Shall Pass every time I’m on air. If you look at theplaylistsfor my show, you’ll see that this is basically true.

So, I’m going to retire This Too Shall Pass from here on out, but before I do, I’m going to post both of the videos for the song.

Enjoy.
