THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO # 863

ALL DANA, ALL THE TIME! I took this week off, leaving Dana full control of The Best Three Hours Of Radio On The Whole Friggin' Planet. He figured it was better off being The Best TWO Hours Of Radio On The Whole Friggin' Planet, but he somehow still found time for new music from The Kennedys, The Penetrators, Vegas With Randolph, and Corin Ashley, plus all of the other assorted irresistibles detailed below. How did he do it? MAGIC! All this, and the power of radio!

Coming up this Sunday on This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl, the one 'n' only Bruce Gordon (aka Mr. Encrypto) will be joining us for the first of two new installments of his ever-fab series, LET'S BE THE BEATLES! Bruce developed the theory that The Beatles' influence was so vast and pervasive that every single track they released inspired at least one (and usually lots more) direct imitations--not covers, but attempts to concoct ostensibly original tunes based on the mop-topped matrix. Bruce will be on TIRnRR this Sunday, March 12th, and again on March 26th; I've seen his playlists, and you'd best start rattling your jewelry right now.  In the mean time, this is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like on a Sunday night in Syracuse this week.

This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl  streams live on Sunday nights from 9 to Midnight Eastern at www.westcott radio.org
