WRVF aired the wrong AT40 80s show again. On 11/3/07, instead of airing the 11/1/80 show, WRVF reran the 8/6/88 show (Last Casey ABC Show) that was broadcasted on the 8/12/07 weekend.
Most likely, one of these two things happened.
1. 1980 Music is considered too old for WRVF target audience.
2. WRVF was planning to switch to all Xmas, but decided at the last minute to wait until next weekend for the switch. The AT40 80s show was not downloaded into their computer system. Thus, they decided to replay an previous aired show.
Don't you just love it when a radio station goofs up?!

So they keep old shows on file? Can they not download it from Premiere's website manually if need be?

No...this isn't the "Boy in a Box" LDD show. The two LDDs are "Like a Rock" by Bob Seger and "I'm So Excited" by the Pointer Sisters.
The show WAS, however, featured as a "Flashback" show on November 17, 2001.

Is that what "Boy In The Box" is about? Alcoholism? I didn't know that, but then again I can't understand many of the lyrics.

Well, here are the lyrics. Not sure what to make of them.
When I go out
I can see the world from inside
Without a doubt
I can shake my head and scream and shout
[Because] I can't take it no more
I can't stand it no more
Who's laughin' at me?
Through the night
Was the giant sleeping?
The endless flight
O the mystery's for keeping
[Because] I can't take it no more
I can't stand it no more
Who's staring at me
I gotta say -
Chorus:
Pull up your sox
You're the boy in the box
What did the rebel say?
When the wolf cried "fox"
To the boy in the box
Will you come out to play
One, two (Spoken)
You can't get enough
Three, four
Open up the door
Six, five
Alive is the boy in the box
Chorus
And no-one talks
To the boy in the box
When the world cried "fox"
to the boy in the box
One, two
I can't get enough
Three, four
Open up the door
Six, five
Alive is the boy in the box
Like a boy in the box
The boy in the box
Like a boy in the box

My interpretation -- depression, social rejection, alcoholism, or any other addiction, depending on your perspective.

A little further research on my part turned up something fairly interesting...
Neither the original broadcast from 11/15/86 nor the Flashback re-broadcast of the show in 2001 contained the Bob Seger LDD. They obviously edited that IN.
