What's My Theme: Playlists for 5.5 and 5.12.23

Thanks to everyone who donated during WMSE's spring membership drive! As usual, I went with themes during the drive. For the first week, for the first time amazingly, I did all drinking songs. And during the second week, I was indecisive, so I went three ways: first hour was all Hoodoo Gurus, who reaffirmed my belief in rock'n'roll on Saturday night at Shank Hall; I focused on all Milwaukee bands during the second hour in honor of my 20 years in Milwaukee as of 2023; and the third hour was all truck driving (and one airplane) songs because I spent the last week traveling to Virginia and back to Wisconsin.
