Lone Star-ing today: Mr Cash, "Ring of Fire". Yee Haw!

Lone Star-ing today: Mr Cash, "Ring of Fire". Yee Haw!
and now JCM throws some paper into that ring of fire... nice seg, wonder if it was intentional or accidental.
-
new to me, and delightful: "Shoot You Dead" by Slobberbone. Gotta love that name.
Much has been written about how country can be just as violent as gangsta rap... but somehow death is less threatening when accompanied by fiddles...
-
Day-um! Merle, "Mama Tried". Followed by, of all things, "New Orleans is Sinking" by the Tragically Hip.
-
KPIG does a set of "dog songs" that includes the great "Feed Jake" by Pirates of the Misssissippi, the first hit country song I know of that mentions being gay in a positive light.
"If you get an ear pierced, some will call you gay.
But if you drive a pick-up, they'll say 'No, he must be straight.'
What we are and what we ain't,
What we can and what we cain't,
Does it really matter?"
-
KPIG is in the midst of an on-air wake for their late PD, swappin' stories about her and playing appropriate tunes:
Paul Thorn, "Give Them Their Roses While They're Here"
James Mcmurtry "Childish Things"
Jackson Browne "For A Dancer"
Quite lovely and moving.

I've been listening for a couple of hours now, and indeed, very moving. They're hauling out some great great music for their fallen friend.
They just played the Byrds' Chestnut Mare, a personal fave and sort of a guilty pleasure, since the lyrics are kind of dumb. Have also heard Springsteen's Growin' Up, Son Volt's Windfall, John Prine, NRBQ, Johnny Cash, and many many more.

Def one of my fave Byrds songs -- a staple of NYC prog-FM in the '70s, it's astounding to me that we've never heard it on 10@10, at least afaik.
I don't find the lyrics dumb; I guess I just always assumed that cowboys really do think of their horse as "just like a wife".
-
2 of my very fave '80s tunes on CG this hour: TTD's "If You Let Me Stay" and Aretha & George "I Knew You Were Waiting", either of which would brighten a Morey 10@10 in its respective year.
-
Oh. My. GAWD! Babs! "Evergreen", with one of the worst rhymes evah: "They warm and excite us/'cause we have the bright-us, er, brightest"

The on-air tribute to Laura Ellen continues, and the jock that's on now is having some trouble keeping his composure. Man, this has to be tough for them.

WLNG Nugget o' the Day: The Osmonds' "Double Lovin'", their sound-alike follow-up to "One Bad Apple". Haven't heard this on the radio in 30 years.

Maybe because it comes off as a plea for a M-M-F threesome?

I always thought it sounded like he was saying that his dick is twice as big as what she's used to.
Double, double lovin
Is what I'm gonna give to you
and you're gonna receive double pleasure everytime I do
Double, double lovin makes you feel so good inside
And when I double up on my lovin
You're gonna be satisfied

Think I'm going to give KPIG a rest today. I can appreciate their need to grieve but it was starting to get depressing by mid-afternoon. At least they were starting to play songs she really liked rather than all the somber stuff (like Will the Circle Be Unbroken).

I'm 'CDX-ing, but I really recommend you give LoneStar a try:

Was thinking about that, and since you suggested it, I think I will--at least until my friend Carrie's indie rock show from Chicago comes on at noon (WLUW.org).
And the second song I hear (after Buffalo Springfield) is Copperhead Road--TANC!

LOL! Mr Earle (do they often call him Speedo?) is a core artist at LoneStar.

I've only heard 4-5 songs, but so far it's skewing much closer to classic rock than it is to country rock--Black Crowes (Jealous Again), Derek and the Dominos (Bell Bottom Blues) and now Bad Co. (Good Lovin' Gone Bad) Only the Earle tune would I call even close to country, but it' ain't bad.
Wait, scratch that--now we're hearing Guy Clark. Who I don't think I've heard on commercial radio EVER ('cept maybe for KPIG, who I always have trouble thinking of as commercial even tho they are).

I'm finally giving it a spin, and hearing (John Prine?) duetting with La Bonnie on a splendid live "Angel From Montgomery."

Yes, Mr Prine. KCDX just treated me to "Timothy"... just as I sat down to lunch. Tastes like chicken!

Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies! Switched to WLNG in time for Neil D's "Brother Love" -- say Hallelujah!
-
Another 'LNG Nugget: Macca-goes-Disco with "Goodnight Tonight". Don't say it!

Lone Star is still skewing decidedly toward classic rock, but once or twice an hour they pull out something that surprises me. Like right now, when they're playing Closer to Fine.
-
Final 'LNG Nugget to close out my afternoon: the Buckinghams, "Susan" -- the looong version -- which it occurs to me woulda made a fine 4 Seasons record. I mean, Frankie V 'n' da boyz recorded songs about every other girls' name, just about.

CGSS plays DeBarge's DeLightful "Rhythm of the Night". Talk about a group (and a family) that had the world on a plate and f---ked it all up.
-
Sweeneyon CG plays REM's little-heard "Electron Blue", which he says is his 2nd-favorite REM tune after "Orange Crush". Colorful chap, that Sweeney.

I'm sure I've told this story before but here goes:
In the early '80s, DeBarge were Motown's great off-white hope. At the time of the Motown 25 TV special, when alums like Diana and MJ were working for other labels, DeBarge were blossoming with hits like "I Like It" and "All This Love". They were literally presented on that show as "the face of the future of Motown", and they continued to have hits, peaking in '85/'86 with "Rhythm" and El DeBarge's solo smash "Who's Johnny". Motown saw them as a centerpiece of its next decade...
... then a year or two later, I'm reading Billboard and there's an item about them being dropped by the label. No explanation, just -- boom! -- they're gone. Mighty odd, I thought, considering how much they'd poured into building them up. And then comes the kicker. Six months after they were dropped, news headline: DeBarge family arrested for cocaine trafficking! The father and several other family members were busted. I can only assume that Motown was aware of shady dealings going on and dropped them before something bad could happen.

Where's the VH1 telefilm when I need it?! I had no idea about the stuff in the second graf here (though I faintly remember reading of one member, maybe Chico, serving a jail term?). Thanks for posting this.

Indeed, it has TV-movie written all over it -- or at least a book. But a search at Amazon turns up nada.

Little Steven is doing his own Sgt Pepper salute, and his particular spin is worth hearing. He believes it is indeed the greatest ever, but regrets that as rock's coming-of-age/defining moment, it meant that everything that came before it , rock-wise, would be dismissed as irrelevant by the "hip-oisie" for years to come, and he thinks that's not just unfair but idiotic.
In addition to songs from SP, he's also playing singles that were on the charts that week -- we've heard Paul Revere, the Turtles, and the Lovin' Spoonful's fab "Six O'Clock" among others so far. I wonder if Dave ever listens to this show.
-
And now it's the Hollies "Pay You Back With Interest". I wonder if Steven the Sinatra fan will play "Somethin' Stupid" (it was #16 that week).
