KSHE KLASSICS SHOW, August 11th, 2019

Quotation Of The Week ~ Lester Bangs: The thing is that, they all had real strong personalities and real distinct identities, and I don't find most of the groups that are coming out now really do.

[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'm grading this week's instalment an A+ (the inclusion of a Dan Fogelberg song makes that grade automatic) but, seriously, without that, it would have been a “mere” A minus.

There was certainly nothing that i actively disliked, but not a whole lot that was mind-bogglingly brilliant, either. Lots that i liked, little that i loved....

Probably my favourite song was Led Zep's “Kashmir,” but i don't honestly know why that was a part of The Klassics Show as it's a song that KSHE plays regularly anyway. Possibly it was a part of regular programming, but if that's the case John Ulett ended the show three minutes early, which i would consider rather a liberty!

Otherwise, the highlights for me were Badfinger, Bob Seger, The Kinks, Saga and Bob Dylan. Here's the playlist:

It's my psychotherapist who usually recommends what cds i should play as stress-relievers each week, but, thanks to the extraordinary amount of money i pay her, she's gone to Bali for a while. Maybe to get away from me, i'm not sure. This list comes, instead, from my favourite bartender (and alternate therapist), Adriana at Bentley's Bar & Inn. To whom i also pay an extraordinary amount of money, btw.... (Her all-time favourite group is Foreigner, but no one's perfect....)
