KSHE KLASSICS SHOW, November 10th, 2019


Quotation Of The Week ~ Lewis Carroll: Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.

[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 Cheney, Kansas, yet again.

Right, well, this week's program scores an A+ for sure! Rory Gallagher means that that grade is automatic, but there was so much more than dear old Rory. “Hocus Pocus” by Focus is such an amazing piece of music – Bill, the deejay at that other station i listen to, said that when he first heard it in 1971, his first thought was “what the hell was that?!?” and his second thought was, “i want to hear it again!” -- it's always great to hear Cheryl Dilcher, “I Can't Explain” is one of my favourite Who singles, anything from Deep Purple's “Machine Head” album is fine by me, and that Nazareth song is one of my favourites of theirs. Oh, and Todd Rundgren, too!

It wasn't all joy, health, love and peace, however. Two songs by Ted Nugent? Aw, c'mon, John. I can barely tolerate The Nuge at the best of times and today's selections were egregious. Sloppy guitar playing, stupid lyrics, just full-throttle annoying. However, thanks to the excellence of the rest of the show, you are forgiven. (And to paraphrase Anderson Cooper on CNN last week, some of you may need to look up what “egregious” means, and by “some of you” i mean Donald J. Trump, Jr. I don't think D.J.T.J. reads this blog, though....)

But enough about politicians. On to the music (and one photo of Denver – which looks gorgeous).

In personal news:

OK, that's it, i have fired all of my therapists (a.k.a. bartenders). The good ones never seem to be at the clinic (i.e., pub) when i go there and i'm stuck with Neanderthals who wouldn't recognise a playlist if they found one in their soup. I had to choose my week's playlist all on my own-ee-o. I did a pretty good job, i think. Here's the list, make up yer own minds:
