[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 Chicago again.]
Quotation Of The Week ~ Alice Cooper: When musicians are telling people who to vote for, I think that's an abuse of power. You're telling your fans not to think for themselves, just to think like you. Rock 'n' roll is about freedom and that's not freedom.
A very, very good program this morning which well deserved its grade of “A.” It wasn't an auspicious start – i've never been a big fan of Steve Miller's although his music is tolerable enough. After that, though, it was almost unbeatable. Even the REO Speedwagon song didn't piss me off – it was an early number, before jackass and self-proclaimed golden god Kevin Cronin became their singer and the song was far better than the live version they later recorded with Mr Cronin.
Great to hear Cheryl Dilcher, Rod Stewart when he was relevant, Genesis, Deep People and Fleetwood Mac's Hypnotised. Apparently, Bob Welch wrote that song for some dude named David Walker, who was supposed to join Fleetwood Mac at one point. He didn't, though, and Bob made the song his own. (David Walker was a member of Black Sabbath for a very brief while; no idea where he is now – selling insurance maybe.)
So many highlights it's impossible to choose one and that song by Lake has been stuck in my head ever since, so thanks for that ha ha. (Good song, though.) Anyway, here's the list and a totally gratuitous photo of Tal Wilkenfeld:
