On today's show, we bid a fond farewell to our vast soundbite archive of Rod Blagojevich quotes, following the news of Blagojevich's conviction yesterday. And we found the perfect pairing to Blagojevich's infamous quote, from outside a courtroom last summer: "I've learned a lot of lessons from this whole experience. Perhaps the biggest lesson is that I talk too much." This one goes out to you, Rod—it's Run DMC's "You Talk Too Much," from their 1985 album "King of Rock." Here's the original video for that song (perfect 1980s outfits included), and the rest of our playlist.
