KSHE KLASSICS SHOW, May 19th, 2019


Quotation Of The Week ~ Grumpy Cat: Don't be a racist. Hate everyone.

[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 Clifton, New Jersey.]

My faithful reader will have noticed, no doubt with a certain wistfulness combined with righteous anger, that i wasn't here last week. Last Sunday was Mother's Day – the busiest day of the year in my industry and of course i had to work. Well, naturally it ruined my entire week, but i expect and accept it every year. I do have to get special permission from the Archbishop Of Canterbury and he's always pretty good about it, but Lord, the paperwork....

If last week's show was anything like this week's, my missing it is even more regrettable, as i'm grading this week's an A+ for sure. The inclusion of songs by Mama's Pride and Dan Fogelberg pretty much guarantee that anyway, but the show would have merited an A+ regardless: a lot of much-loved music and not a single annoying song.

Incidentally, KSHE listeners once voted Mama's Pride's “Blue Mist” the greatest classic rock song of all time. I wouldn't go that far; in fact i don't even think it's their greatest song, but man, it's a good 'un.

Speaking of ruined weeks, as i was, up there somewhere, my week was further ruined by the sad passing of Tardar Sauce, a.k.a. Grumpy Cat, at the age of 7.
