KSHE KLASSICS SHOW, Aug. 1st, 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 in order to spoof an American address, and this week, according to whatismyipaddress.com, i was listening from Clifton, New Jersey.

Quotation Of The Week: Ray Davies ~ He just spends his life living in a rock'n' roll fantasy.

There are many things in this life that i don't understand. String Theory is one; how some of the people where i work manage to keep their jobs is another. Why REO Speedwagon is so popular in St. Lou is a third. But why, oh why, when there are so many fantastic songs by The Eagles, did Uman play one of their mostest blandest songs today​? Just baffling.

Otherwise, though, it wasn't bad and scores an “A”. The grade would have been lower if not for Mama's Pride (and one of their best songs), thanks to the inclusion of the dreadful REO and Ted Nugent.

Highlights for me were Billy Joel, Genesis, The Byrds, Loggins & Messina, Jon & Vangelis and Rod Stewart when he was still relevant and not a bloated wealthy pop star.
