[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, i was in Boise, Idaho, which was a surprise. I'd never been there before.]
Quotation Of The Week ~ Billy Joel: I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints.
The fact that Uman played Rory this morning makes it easy to grade the show as an “A+” but if it hadn't been for that it would have been a lot tougher to decide. For sure there were some bona fide classics, er, Klassics, but there was also a lot that was merely ordinary, and the Jonathan Round interpretation (i can't call it a song) of Sympathy For The Devil is so dire i left the room. REO Speedwagon's song was unrecognisable as being REO, thus didn't suck.
Otherwise, everything was pretty good. 10c.c., Eagles, Hendrix, The Moody Blues (one of my favourite songs of theirs), Wings and Yes were highlights and i'm really liking Gamma's cover of the old Hollies song. I've heard it here a few times.
Oh, and a slap on the wrist to KSHE for mis-identifying the Finnigan & Wood song as being by Kendi. I do believe he's a rap artist of some kind – which is a pretty egregious error!
