I have to admit that i fail to understand KSHE's love of REO Speedwagon. I can't stand 'em, and the Canadian rock stations i used to listen to would actively deride them. Yet KSHE -- "Real Rock Radio" and "The Rock Of St Louis" -- plays them regularly. The song on this morning's show was unfortunately a lengthy live track and lead singer Kevin Cronin was especially obnoxious. It was cringeworthy for sure. But, nevermind, otherwise the show was excellent as always.
(Incidentally, according to Wikipedia, KSHE recently announced that they were going to launch a subchannel which would be a 24-hour a day version of The Klassics Show. I'd never listen to anything else! But i couldn't find anything about it on KSHE's website and host John Ulett has certainly never mentioned it. But that's Wikipedia for you!)

You never talk about your cat. Did it die? You use to talk about the one you had before this one. What was her name . . . Kate?
No, the cat i have now is Cate who is alive and well, the previous one was Watson. Prior to that i had Mutch, Otius, Fielding and -- the first one i had as an adult -- Jim Spriggs, from whom came the name of this blog. I don't write about Cate because she's ineffable.
