[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 an American address. This week, according to https://whatismyipaddress.com/ i was listening from Herndon Virginia. I haven't been there very often. It's a suburb of Washington D.C. and i certainly wouldn't want to be there in the next little while!]
Quotation Of The Week ~ Eddie Izzard: Before birds get sucked into jet engines, do they ever think, is that Rod Stewart in first class?
After an entirely uninspiring first forty-five minutes (oh, okay, the Santana song was all right), the show roared into life with the quintuple whammy that began with The Allmans and included Rory -- who automatically means a grade of A+ for this week's show. Even the ads were mostly not too obnoxious and there was even a spot by my ole buddy Bart Inman and it's always great to hear his droll sense of humour.
There was, as usual, a mix of so-so music and brilliant music this morning and there was nothing that was painful to my ears. (I find a lot of U2's music painful but today's song was from their debut album, recorded before Bono decided he was God's gift to humanity.)
I particularly enjoyed hearing Immigration Man (the only decent song on Nash & Crosby's bo-o-ring album) and Steely Dan and Deep Purple and one of the few songs from Eric Clapton's drug-drenched seventies that i like a lot. Hearing Eric Burden (with The Animals) before he became an awful poseur is never a problem.
One thing, though: i'm not 100% certain about the identity of the song played between Traffic and Project P. I think it's by Night Ranger (i had to Google the lyrics, as the KSHE website didn't name it) and Night Ranger was the most likely suspect, even though i don't recall them being played here before.
Here's the most hated man in Missouri these days: junior Republican senator and spoiled little rich boy Josh Hawley, who cheered on the insurrectionists at the Capitol on Wednesday and who wants to run for president in 2024 so much that he bought the tie. His nickname in Missouri is "weasel boy," which i think is an outrageous slur on weasels. I know, i shouldn't introduce politics here but it's hard to avoid these days.

My own personal playlist is a fairly lengthy one this week, in spite of the inclusion of the 4-CD Led Zeppelin set and the fact that i spent a lot of time glued to CNN on Wednesday.
