KSHE KLASSICS SHOW, July 7th, 2019


Quotation Of The Week ~ Yogi Berra: It ain't over 'til it's over.

[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.]

Well, that was fun! This week's show definitely scores an A.

There was some brilliant music, some pretty obscure schtuff – nothing too annoying, although i don't think i've ever heard a Stevie Nicks solo recording that didn't get on my nerves at least a little – one song that didn't really belong (the 90's power ballad by Giant) and one number that made me think i was listening to Radio Paradise, Michael Quatro interpreting Rachmaninoff.

The highlight was probably the Yes song in the final hour, but there were quite a few to choose from. In fact, i ordered Jackson Browne's CD on the strength of his brilliant song. The lowlight? Probably Normie Rowe, whose song was utterly inconsequential.

And, well done, U.S.A., in the women's football (or, soccer, for those outside most of the world). Megan Rapinoe for president!

You may be surprised to learn that i'm not really a nervous wreck. Well, maybe just a bit; as a precaution, i pay my psychiatrist a substantial sum of money to prescribe a list of albums for me to play at home each week.
