Quotation
du jour: Paul Simon ~ These are the days of miracle and wonder.
[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 via a VPN to
spoof a non-Canadian address. This week, according to
https://whatismyipaddress.com/,
i was listening from somewhere in the Dallas/Fort Worth area – they
weren't more specific than that. Neat: i've never been to Texas.]
Ah,
The Klassics Show. Even when it's not OMFG brilliant (and this
morning's wasn't) it's still brilliant. There was nothing i hated
today. There were quite a few mediocre moments (Touch? Snail? Billy
Thorpe?) (and the lyrics in that Glass Moon song are positively
embarrassing) but also much wonderful and sublime music. I had chills
running up and down my spine several times. Where did the four hours
go?!?
I
almost rated this edition as an A- but what kicked it up to an A was
the Mama's Pride song, which i love. I have marked particular
favourites with an asterisk (*).
It
wasn't a painless listening experience, although better than some
i've had in the past. A few minutes before the show was scheduled to
begin, my Internet connection died. Some quick troubleshooting and a
re-start sorted that out, but i confess i was worried – there was
one morning last week when i was unable to connect to KSHE at all.
There were also a few, mercifully brief, drop-outs, too, but not
enough to induce me to slash my wrists.
Oh,
and before anyone calls me a scientific ignoramus, i know that the
picture below doesn't represent a black star. It's a black hole
creating a new star. I just liked it.
