Quotation
du jour: Tom Waits ~ A
gentleman is someone who can play the accordion, but doesn't.
[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. I didn't mind at all: it was 18º
there, a fair bit warmer than home (-1º).]
Vote
for Claire McCaskill on Tuesday, folks! If you're a registered voter
in Missouri, that is. I'm not, but if i were, i would.
Sorry
to interject that rare political note into this week's post, but the
Klassics Show for the past few weeks has been full of very
malicious McCaskill vs
Josh Hawley ads – they're candidates for the U.S. Senate and the
campaign has turned quite nasty as election day approaches –
nastier than usual for politics. I mean, most politicians are liars
anyway, not interested in much other than getting re-elected. But
Hawley's a wimp (and Trump is stumping for him, 'nuff said). Vote for
Claire, she works for Missouri. I have spoken. The end. No more
politics, at least until 2020, i promise. On to a more enlightening
subject: the music.
This
week's show definitely rates an A on the Jim Spriggs Scale Of
Excellence: five stars out of five. There was nothing at all that i
disliked. Probably the worst song this morning was that by
Mark-Almond and it certainly wasn't bad,
it just dragged a bit. I didn't even hate the Ted Nugent song, which
was a surprise: it was all right. I certainly can't choose one song
to name as the highlight, there was so much that i love. Eagles,
Focus, Steely Dan, Buffalo Springfield, Humble Pie, The Allman Bros.,
Mott The Hoople.... All magic. I'm also delighted that Uman has
played Renaissance a few times recently, i loved that band – and
have a personally autographed photo of their singer, Annie Haslam, on
my living room wall.
