But, post-set, there's a Pretenders track listed on the Peak's just-played list called "Boots of Chinese Plastic" -- WTF? anybody know this one?

I just heard it two days ago, it was already going when I turned on the car radio.  I thought to myself, "This sounds like the best Chrissie Hynde impression EVAH!  Who is this, maybe KT Tunstall?"  It didn't occur to me that The Pretenders were not only back, but back to their old sound on this one.  Until Big Rick ID'd the song.

Speaking of new/old: KFOG's also playing a Steve Cropper/Felix Cavaliere collab which I heard yesterday morning when I was half-awake.

Haven't heard it yet, but given your descriptions and the clever title's play off the Dylan tune, I really want to now. Have to see if I can find a link once today's set is over.

Benson played the Cropper tune last week on his morning show appearance, and I've already heard it twice since.  It's really good.
