[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 back in Santa Clara, California, the
birthplace of one of my favourite porn actresses, Bobbi Starr.]
My
faithful reader will have noticed that i wasn't here last week. There
was no Klassics Show to blat about. It was the Memorial Day Weekend
in Trumpistan, er, i mean the U.S.A., and every year KSHE pre-empts
their regular programming to do what they call a “Top 500
Countdown” which means they play all the same old crap they play
every day. I actually listened for about ten minutes, but when they
inflicted Joan Jett on me, i gave up and streamed Radio Hauraki
instead.
So
i was expecting a rather excellent show this morning, to make up for
last week's absence. Alas, it was not to be. Oh, it started off
brilliantly, for sure, with magic of The Byrds, followed by ... Jack
Green?!? The song was okay, but who the heck is (or was) he? After
that, things went okay for a little while, but ... ugh, Ted Nugent
and soon after, ugh, REO Speedwagon. The Lucifer's Friend song went
on 'way too long, the Eagles' track must be one of the most tedious
they've ever recorded and the Robin Trower number, which was great,
was actually mis-announced as being Mott The Hoople, which would
have been great.
There
were a few songs this morning that i can honestly say i love, but not
all that many; there were a few performers i can honestly say i love,
but the selections were not favourites. I mean, why “Leave It” by
Yes, when Yes has so many numbers that soar? “Leave It” drags. So
it is with some regret i'm only grading it a “B.”
(Plus
there seemed to be even more ads, therefore less music, than usual.)
And
here's a (SFW) pic of the wonderful Bobbi Starr:
