Quotation
Of The Week ~ Grace Slick: "'White Rabbit' was mostly done in
about two days, the music in about half an hour. The music is a
'Bolero' rip-off and the lyrics a rearrangement of 'Alice in
Wonderland.' You take two spectacular hits and throw them together,
and it's hard to miss."
[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 Cheney, Kansas.]
To
get the important commentary out of the way first (the ads), my gosh,
doesn't Tom Shane of Shane Company (“the official jeweller of the
St Louis Cardinals,” apparently) have a monotonous voice?
Dreadful. I wouldn't buy any jewellery at his shop – he might try
to talk to me! The spots for Doctor John's Lingerie And Novelty
Boutique (a shop specialising in sex aids, with branches in St
Peters, Kirkwood and Farmington) are pretty raunchy, almost
crossing the line for what i want to listen to on a Sunday morning.
And where, oh where, is Bart Inman? Jerry Kelly, who seems to have
taken over from Bart as heating and air conditioning sponsor, has a
really obnoxious jingle....
As
for the music.... I'm giving the show a grade of A, in spite of the
dreadful start with one of the most obnoxious musicians in the
history of Western Civilisation, Ted Nugent. Once that was out of the
way, though, there's was lots to love. Here's the playlist, along
with a picture of the world-famous Cheney Reservoir:
