Quotation
du jour: Quentin Tarantino ~ "Sure, Kill Bill is a violent
movie. But it's a Tarantino movie. You don't go to see Metallica and
ask the fuckers to turn the music down."
[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 and happy to be there again.]
A
great show this week.
As
i've said before, any edition that includes a song by Dan Fogelberg
is given an A+ and this week there were two numbers. Admittedly, the
first of the two was an overture rather than a song, but who's
carping?
The
fact is, though, that the A+ was merited regardless. I don't really
think that metal bands like Molly Hatchet and Judas Priest belong on
the Klassics Show, but i didn't dislike their contributions, so let
that pass. There were also one or two songs that i could have lived
without, but i didn't hate them; i can't complain about that, either.
[My
cat writes: oh, shut it, i'm sure you'll find something to complain
about somewhere.]
Two
of my top fifty fave songs of all time were here, too: the Mott The
Hoople and the Todd Rundgren, but, really, there was so much schtuff
that i loved. I want to have this program's babies. It was, as usual,
the highlight of my week.
