Quotation
du jour: Benjamin Franklin ~
Dost
thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life
is made of.
[As
you may or may not know, i live in Canada, and for some reason KSHE
doesn't stream their audio to here. I have to connect to a VPN to
spoof a non-Canadian address. This week, according to
https://whatismyipaddress.com/,
i was listening from Pudokkottai, in the Tamil Nadu region of India!]
[As long as i'm here, i may as well visit Thirugokarnam
Temple....
That's a photo of it down there.]
Now
that's more like it! Any edition of the Klassics Show that includes
Rory Gallagher – as this week's did – is automatically graded an
A++ and this week it was fully deserved, unlike last Sunday's
slightly disappointing instalment (which received that grade solely
for playing both Rory and
Dan Fogelberg). In fact, i would have rated today's an A++ even
without Rory. (OK, i know, my prejudice[s] show through, but Rory was
such a huge star in the 70s and 80s as well as being the best
blues-rock guitarist ever,
it's a sin he's now practically forgotten. KSHE is helping to keep
him alive but the only other radio stations i know of that play him
even occasionally are KOCI from Newport Beach, California, and St
Louis Classic Rock [dot] Com. I'm sure there are others, and if my
regular reader knows of any, i'd be delighted to know about them.)
Just
look at that playlist, though. So many performers i love, so many
songs i love, and absolutely nothing that made me want to take a
sledgehammer to my speakers. I don't particularly like the music of
Styx but theirs was a song that hasn't been played to death and it
was all right. I even liked the Eric Clapton song, and most of his
output from the seventies bores me senseless.
