Quotation
Of The Week ~ Greg Lake: Original music. You know, in the 70s, the
music was art-led, now it's market-led. You used to have rock heroes,
now you have rock product. And music has lost its identity and its
personality with all the crap and pap that's dished up today.
I've
been listening to this station for maybe fifteen years and i'm afraid
i just can't get used to hearing hospitals advertising on it.
Barnes-Jewish Hospital, who helped to pay for today's show, is
apparently an excellent hospital (https://www.barnesjewish.org/), the
largest in Missouri, and their spot on this morning's edition was a
“nice” (for lack of a better word), unobtrusive ad (unlike a lot
of them). But it just seems so odd to hear such facilities hustling
for business. Ah, America, i love it but i can never forget that it's
a foreign country.
On
to matters of secondary importance, i.e., the music. I'm
definitely grading this edition an “A+”. What a wonderful four
hours and definitely the highlight of my week! Even the two songs
that i disliked passionately (Harry Chapin's and REO Speedwagon's)
couldn't ruin that evaluation, the rest of the music was so
magnificent. Just in the first hour alone there were six songs that i
love, and at least two i would include in my top 500 favourite songs
list: Jefferson Airplane and Wishbone Ash. Oh, and incidentally, well
done Uman for playing the unbleeped version of “We Can Be
Together.” It includes the “f” word more than once and the FCC
frowns upon that: most American stations won't play the song at all!
Thanks, KSHE, for cocking a snook at the FCC!
