RockRoll360 #071 - The Jackal (Part 1)

 

Hello everybody - Hope you all had a Great and Merry Christmas. As we move into the New Year we can only hope for a far, far better year then it was this year.  Yes, the year with concerns about the economy, unemployment and the health care bill. What’s it going take to fix all of these issues. A MIRACLE ! 

Believe me folks, that is not stretching the truth. We as Americans have to read, listen and learn to what is exactly happening to our lives under these changes we are heading for in the very near future.  So listen to the right and libs and read closely between the lines. The material you hear from both sides can pass on so much distortion, smear campaigning and misinformation. It’s been a war on Obama coming from from both sides. You all know this because of your friends E-Mail, Facebook, Blogs or
watching The Right views on Fox or The Left on MSNBC.

Hopefully we will learn and keep this country in the state of  OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE and FOR THE PEOPLE.

ROCKOLLECTIONS: BROKEN AND BREAKING RADIOS

CHAPTER EIGHT: BROKEN AND BREAKING RADIOS

Continuing the Salute to Radio and my 10 Years as the host of Rock Lives, Rockollections or anything else you want to call it…as long as it’s nice, lol!
I am going to pick up exactly where we left off, and even on my feel-good show, not all love stories have happy endings. Under our BIG umbrella of what I consider Rock & Roll, the great George Jones will sing.
Followed by a short set regarding Broken Radios.
Then going in the other direction, how Radio can do the Breaking- unknowingly breaking your heart!
How many times have you had the radio on at home or in the car, a song comes on and you are transported back to a sense of sadness or loneliness over the loss of an ex-love?
Just another example of Radio being a part of, and affecting, our lives.
I’ll play a beautiful song by Merrie Amsterburg, and a rocker by Roy Orbison to illuminate that circumstance.
Got a song that Engineer Ken turned me on to, and a Beatles’ theme they did for their own BBC show.
Finally, I am very much aware of the special relationship- the attachment- that forms between the listener and the guy on the radio. I have had a part in both sides of that.
So, I will close this episode with a tradition born on Dec. 18, 1967- the day Scott Muni started at WNEW-FM, and stayed for 31 years!
For his first 3 to 6 years- I wish I could recall precisely- he would end his show with this song, 7 days a week, and making it easy for me to tell when it was a few minutes till 7PM.
After that, during his remaining years there, he would always use the song to end his anniversary shows, and always leave me with a huge lump in my throat.
For a man who provided such a musical style and education for me, I could do much worse than to close my own 10th Anniversary with it in honor of him.
I am sure there will be 2 more parts to this Salute To Radio, so I will have more gratitude to express.
But for now, to anyone who has EVER listened to my little radio show/podcast, a great big thank you!

Mike
