Chuck Berry lookin' for "Nadine."

"I was campaign shoutin' like a Southern diplomat."

[RGMike]

oh my! Ree-Ree's cover of "Son of a Preacher Man"!  say hallelujah!

[urth]

Another not-heard-before: 'Retha's take on Son of a Preacher Man.

And hearing Nadine reminds me--before Radio Birdman, I had dinner last night with a couple of friends whose band just came back from opening a show for Chuck Berry at some club in St. Louis. Said he's still pretty particular (all kinds of rules and restrictions in their contract). And said he still rocks.

Wow, it's a SOAPM twin-spin!!!

truly fabuloso.  And the orig "Piece o' my Heart", which has become one of my all-time faves.

Well, they're letting us leave at 1:00 (!) -- have a great 3-day weekend all, I'm sure I'll be checking in periodically.

oo, wait -- it's the orig "Hello Stranger", not the remake by Whinyface.

Wish I could say that--we have to get content ready to go up on the site for the entire 3 day weekend. So I'll likely be here for a couple more hours. Grrrr.

Another fab sat nite with JJ on KPOO -- he plays Rufus w/Chaka doing their cover of "Jive Talkin'"!

And that's followed by one of my fave song titles of all time: "If It Don't Fit, Don't Force It".  (Too bad he didn't follow that with "Wide Receiver"! LOL!)

and now the wonderful "Whodunit" by Tavares. "Kojak, won'tcha bring her back!"

[RGMike]

Clever segue: 100 Proof's new-to-me "She Put a 90-Day Freeze on Love", followed by The Isleys, "She Put My Love in the Layaway".

and now Foster Sylvers, "Misdemeanor", and The Ohio Players, "Skin Tight". "Bad bad misses in those skin-tight britches" -- surely the original lyric substituted "bitches" for "misses", no?

[RGMike]

Little Steven's doing his annual Back-to-School show. The usual suspects, sure -- "Rock'n'Roll High School", "Be True to Your School", great Dangerfield clips from Back to School, etc.  But a delight nonetheless.

And -- oo! -- now Ray Davies wishes he could be like David Watts. Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa!

ETA: (and TANC): hey Urth -- Steven's "Coolest Song in the World" this week is by... Radio Birdman!

Being as they are on tour in the US thru next weekend, I am not at all surprised to hear this. And I would fully expect that Steven will be in attendance when they hit Irving Plaza in New York on Friday. The man knows his rock and roll.
