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 in order to spoof an American address, and this week, according to whatismyipaddress.com, i was listening from Falls Church, Virginia. I know i've never been there before! El Tio Grill is located there and i've been in the mood for tacos for a few weeks now....
Quotation Of The Week: Steve Martin ~ Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you do criticize him, you'll be a mile away and have his shoes.
Oh, deary me. This week's instalment came so very close to a grade of “A+” thanks to the inclusion of all twenty-two minutes of Gates Of Delerium, one of Mama's Pride's finest moments and a Bob Dylan song that proves his Nobel Prize is well-deserved. And Jeff Beck! Even the Ted Nugent piece was kinda mellow for him and not bad at all.
It was also nice to hear two songs in a row by Kansas but sad to learn that this was was in tribute to their violinist and singer Robby Steinhardt, who died last week from acute pancreatitis. I can't say i was a huge fan of Kansas, but they did make some great music. R.I.P., Robby.
What plummeted the show to a “mere” “A-” was the dreaded REO Speedwagon and one of their worst, most embarrassing songs. Say You Love Me Or Say Goodnight. What?! How would anyone react if someone said that to them? Don't give me no ultimatums, Sonny Jim? Or maybe sod off ya fucktard?
Also, i'm a little disturbed that The Guess Who has shown up almost every week recently. I like some of their music, certainly, but there's something about Burton Cummings' voice that i find irritating. I'm sure that this is a failing on my part, as, here in Canada – er, i mean, Falls Church, Virginia – he's a national icon.
