KSHE KLASSICS SHOW, Feb. 21st, 2021

 [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 Chigago again.]

Quotation Of The Week ~ Nick Hornby: It wasn't until 1963 that you would really want to listen to any kind of English music.

Last week, i was bemused by an ad suggesting that i buy term life insurance from someone named Big Lou. I thought not. This week, 5-Star Auto Plaza -- a used car dealership in St Charles, Missouri -- wants me to buy a second-hand vehicle from "Pickle Man." If i needed a pre-owned motor, i'd be inclined to shop elsewhere, i do believe. although i neither want nor need one of those horrible machines.

The first song played today was brilliant -- as was the last song. In between, it was a bit bi-polar. There was, for my taste, too much generic hard rock (Budgie, Billy Idol & Molly Hatchet) but there was also Dan, which means the episode gets a grade of A+ although the fact is that without him it may just barely have managed a B+

Oh, there was some great music for sure: Steely Dan, The Allmans, Robin Trower, ARS, etc. But not a shed-load. And although i love a lot of Donovan's music, today's song, Atlantis, is embarrassingly bad, grumbl.

Incidentally, the Sammy Hagar was not a cover of The Kinks' song of the same name, nor was John Mellencamp's China Girl the David Bowie song. Too bad!

See you next week, meanwhile here's a pic of Marilyn.
