Send us a textIf You Like Getting Stuck in Puerto Rico... (The Great Airspace Escape) 🍹✈️Pack your bags and prepare to stay exactly where you are! This week on The Wednesday Night Podcast, we are spinning Rupert Holmes’ 1979 masterpiece, Partners in Crime. It’s an album famous for the ultimate song about cheating on your spouse through a newspaper ad, but tonight, the crime is our travel itinerary.As the smooth, yacht-rock vibes of "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" play in the background, Jill recounts her harrowing—and surprisingly thirsty—tale of being stuck in Puerto Rico. When the airspace closed and the planes stopped flying, Jill didn't panic; she went on a tactical, high-stakes manhunt for the original Piña Colada bar.Was it San Juan's Barrachina? Was it Caribe Hilton? And how many "samples" does it take to truly verify a historical landmark while the FAA holds your life in its hands? Jill shares the story of navigating closed borders and the absolute necessity of pineapple-coconut beverages during a national crisis.Tune in to find out if Rupert Holmes’ lyrics actually come true when you're stranded in the tropics, and whether Jill ever made it home, or if she’s still wandering the cobblestone streets of Old San Juan looking for more rum.website: actonmusicproject.comemail: music@actonmusicproject.comCraig's phone number: (978) 310-1613
