Quotation
du jour: Edgar Allen Poe ~ There
are few cases in which mere popularity should be considered a proper
test of merit; but the case of song-writing is, I think, one of the
few.
[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 San Francisco. Although i've listened from there
before, i've never actually been to the left coast of the U.S.A.
Western Canada, yes, but the furthest west i've ever been in the
States is St Clair, Missouri.]
The
Klassics Show scores an automatic A+ today for including the
brilliant but now mostly forgotten Rory Gallagher. My regular reader
will know who Rory was, of course, but very few radio stations play
him any more and millennials certainly have no clue who he was, even
those who love classic rock. Thank you KSHE!
The
truth is, today's program would have veered very close to an A+
anyway. (Or, "anyways," as they say here.) There were a
couple of deservedly obscure tracks (The Pine Valley Cosmonauts???)
but nothing that was painful, and a shedload of songs that i love.
