KSHE KLASSICS SHOW, Sept. 22nd, 2019


Quotation Of The Week ~ Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.

[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 back in North Bergen, New Jersey for the first time in a few weeks.]

The burning question of the week is, where is Bart Inman? He's the owner of a heating and air-conditioning company in St Louis and i enjoy his ads on The Klassics Show, but he's been missing for about three weeks now. Come home, Bart, all is forgiven! (https://inmanair.com/)

(I think that, as advertising takes up about a quarter of the show every week, i may have to start including it in my assessments – it's obviously important....)

I'm grading this week's show as an A, even though the Ted Nugent track was so awful (appalling, deplorable, repulsive, dreadful, ghastly – thank you, Dr Roget) i wanted to take a hammer to my speakers ... but then i would have had to listen to the rest of the show on my iPad using earbuds and those things keep falling out. It wouldn't have been all that enjoyable, really. And the rest of the show was d*mned good!

Sure, there were a few songs i wasn't crazy about – the Mason Profitt number comes to mind – and, to be honest, there weren't that many tracks that i would include in my favourite 1000 songs list, but almost every track was perfectly delightful.

It's always wonderful to hear Cheryl Dilcher (R.I.P.) on the radio. She and i have (had?) three degrees of separation but, Luther Grosvenor and i are two degrees apart, as i am with all of The Police, so i guess three degrees isn't all that impressive....
