Quotation du jour ~
Ringo Starr: So this is America. They must be out of their minds.
[As you may or may
not know, i live in Canada, and for some reason KSHE doesn't stream
their audio to here and i have to connect via a VPN, to spoof a
non-Canadian address. This week, according to
https://whatismyipaddress.com/
i was listening from North Bergen, New Jersey
again.]
This week, i'm doing
something i've only done once before (as far as i can remember):
grading the show A++ -- or, eight stars out of a possible five. Yes,
it was that good. Hot damn!
Rory Gallagher, of
course, automatically means an A+ but there was so much else that was
pure magic i felt i had to bump it up. The Rorysong was brilliant, of
course, but i think that the highlight of the show (for me) was
Diesel's “Sausalito Summernights,” which had me playing air bass
guitar (very badly) and trying to dance in my chair! (Also very
badly). The Records' “Starry Nights” pretty much had the same
effect. Power pop for the ages.
Even the REO Speedwagon
song – and i'm on record as stating that i can't stand REO
Speedwagon – wasn't all that bad.
Oh, and we had The
Beatles, the most important group in history. Uman rarely
plays them, but said that he thinks he'll play them more often, which
would be great – if it happens. (A while back he said he'd be
playing Renaissance more often, but so far he hasn't.)
A couple of technical
notes: my Internet connection died in the middle of the Peter Gabriel
song, but i have the KSHE app on my 'phone and immediately switched
to that, and then rebooted my router, and the connection came back up
for the second half of The Doors' song. Nevertheless, i did miss a
tiny bit of the program. Secondly, Uman announced Cat Stevens'
“Oh Very Young” but didn't actually play the song, which was a
bit of a bummer as it's such a beautiful piece of music. Oh, well, i
have the CD and played it right after the show ended.
