KSHE Klassics Show, August 19th, 2018


Quotation du jour: Lester Bangs ~ "Music, you know, true music not just rock 'n' roll, chooses you."

[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 New York City again, somewhere in Manhattan.]

Oh, this is tough one. After last week's underwhelming instalment, which scored a measly B+, i'm very sorry to say that i have to give this week's even less whelming edition a B: primarily because of the inclusion of one band i cannot abide – Aerosmith – but also because a lot of it was, frankly, tedious. I mean, c'mon John: Michael Fennelly? Jimmy Spheeris? Why did we have Sugarloaf lead off the show for the second time this month? Where were all the regulars like Jackson Browne, Elton John and Steely Dan?

For the second week running, we were 2½ hours in before a song came on that i truly love: the Wishbone Ash. There was lots of schtuff before that that i liked, of course, but "Phoenix" was definitely the highlight for me today. I enjoyed hearing Brian Auger, too; i rarely hear him on KSHE.
