KSHE KLASSICS SHOW, August 25th, 2019


Quotation Of The Week ~ Bob Dylan: Here's the thing with me and the religious thing. This is the flat-out truth: I find the religiosity and philosophy in the music. I don't find it anywhere else.

[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, https://whatismyipaddress.com/ was again unable to locate me precisely, but i was somewhere in central Kansas for the second time.]

I don't think i can grade this week's show much higher than a B, i'm sorry to say. There was nothing actively wrong with it and nothing annoying, but there was not much extraordinary, either: probably only two or three numbers that would make my Top 1000 Favourite Songs List. I didn't think that Michael Bolton belonged here (although his song was all right) and why a 16-minute song by Nektar for goodness' sake? Again, it was all right, if a little tedious, but that 16 minutes could have been put to far better use, IMO. (Few performers can pull off a sixteen-minute track; Nektar isn't one of them.)

The highlight for me was probably the Jefferson Starship track, although it was great to hear that 1960s British Invasion schtuff. Anyway, here's the playlist and some nectar.
