Quotation
Of The Week ~ Charles M. Schulz: I have a new philosophy. I'm only
going to dread one day at a time.
Well,
gosh, wow, holy mackerel. It's a well-deserved grade of “A+” for
this week's installment, what a brilliant four hours. Well, three
hours of music plus the ads, but even the ads were mostly great!
(Bart Inman was back, and his ads always make me smile and i can
assure you that if i lived in St Lou or in Metro East, i would go to
him for all of my heating and air-conditioning needs.)
The
first twenty minutes alone consisted of four much-loved songs,
including the opener, from Genesis's best post-PG album (IMFFHO) and
the Neil Young track that really pissed off Lynyrd Skynyrd.
(Apparently Mr Young now admits that he was “a little harsh.”)
Now, although Michael Stanley wasn't from St Louis (he was born in
Cleveland), he was hugely popular there and, in gratitude, he wrote a
special version of his song “My Town” for the Gateway City. I've
been hunting for the CD that this version appears on, but to no
avail....
In other local news, KSHE listeners once voted Mama's Pride's song “Blue Mist” the best classic rock song of all-time, ever. Well, they were hometown heroes; i doubt the song would appear anywhere near the top of anyone's list outside Missouri but it's a great song and probably their best.
What
else? Where do i begin?! James Taylor, yes. A Fleetwood Mac song with
Christine McVie on vocals and i think she was the best singer FM ever
had; in fact i've loved her voice ever since she was in Chicken
Shack. Led Zeppelin was a surprise, as so much of their music shows
up on KSHE's regular playlist but it was great to hear so i won't
complain. Dan Fogelberg (whose appearance pretty much assures a grade
of “A+”), Roxy Music and then a great Bob Seger track i'd
completely forgotten about; Thin Lizzy, The Beatles, Eagles and Yes
and... absolutely nothing that pissed me off! Life is good after
all....
Oh,
and here's a stealth bomber escaping St Louis after being mugged in Ferguson, aiming for Metro East.
God, i hope that pilot knows what he's doing.... Stay safe, everyone!
