[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 Santa Clara, California, pop.130,000.]
Quotation Of The Week ~ Joan Osborne: It's not just something that you do intellectually when you do music. You do it with your body, and you do it with your emotions, and you do it with every part of yourself. It engages your mind as well, but engages all parts of yourself.
This week's program gets a grade of “A+” for the inclusion of one of Dan Fogelberg's most poignant tunes (which, incidentally, was incorrectly identified on KSHE's website as being The Rolling Stones' Time Waits For No One), but if it hadn't been for that i may, just may, have managed a “B+”. There were two dreadful numbers (Meat Loaf and J.D. Blackfoot), and then there were Ted Nugent with his puerile cock-rock fiasco and Jimmy Barnes' cliche-driven disaster, and they threatened to sink the whole show. But let us not be hasty. There was enough fabulous music to make the whole thing worthwhile. Apart from Dan's song, i think the highlight of the morning was The Kings' number, which never fails to have me bopping in my chair. There were quite a few other highlights and so, with reservations, 'twas a wonderful four hours.
I commented recently that The Klassics Show rarely played solo female artists and along came Carolyne Mas this week to prove me wrong yet again. Although i'd heard the name, i'm not at all familiar with her music, although apparently back in the day she was marketed as a female Bruce Springsteen. Marketing types are not really famous for having imaginations, of course.
