[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 Campbellsville, Kentucky, home of the historic First Street Brewery.]
Quotation Of The Week ~ Warren Zevon: I mean, I haven't been completely lacking in some enjoyment of Chuck Berry or Buddy Holly. But I just didn't pay attention to that period of music, obviously.
An easy "A+" for this week's installment -- not only because of the inclusion of one of Dan Fogelberg's best songs (and the song that got me hooked on his music originally). There was a lot to love today and even the track by those bozos in REO Speedwagon wasn't horrible (but is it really necessary to play them every bloody week, John?).
I know i've ranted in the past about what a wanker Eric Burdon became later in his career with his cod social commentary and pretentiousness, but today's song, one of the first singles by The Animals -- which was one of the longest 45s ever released up to that time (1964) at 4" 28' -- proves that he was at one time a seriously good blues-belter and probably just a lovable Geordie lad. Classic, er, Klassic rock, for sure.
Other highlights included Nazareth, Robin Trower, The Allmans, Genesis, Steely Dan, Bob Dylan of course, and wow it was wonderful to hear that old Wet Willie song again.
