The Luv Doc

My KUTX // February 14th, 2026

His sarcastic-yet-sage relationship advice has been a back-page mainstay in The Austin Chronicle for more than a dozen years now…and for the first time ever, Dan Hardick – AKA “The Luv Doc” spins some of the tunes that fuel his wisdom for a KUTX Valentine’s Day Special.

But of course it’s not only the music. No, between each set you’ll hear The Luv Doc’s trademark snark, wit, and penchant for rants in a way that subverts straightforward relationship through the emblematic power of music.

  1. Steve Forbert – “Romeo’s Tune”
  2. Dire Straits – “Romeo and Juliet”
  3. The Police – “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic”
  4. Elvis Presley – “Can’t Help Falling in Love”

  6. George Jones – “He Stopped Loving Her Today”
