A hectic work schedule (and, as Dana says, my fear of Daylight Saving Time) prompted me to stay home Sunday night, leaving the keys to This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio in Dana's capable hands. Please don't point out that he's better off without me; it hurts my fragile freakin' feelings, ya heartless crumb. Still, no one could deny the power of this playlist, nor dispute the worthiness of its renewed claim as The Best Three Hours Of Radio On The Whole Friggin' Planet. Dana! Dana! Dana!
NEXT WEEK: I'm back! No, it'll be good. Really. PRETTY SOON: The return of The Magnificent Six, as we turn the whole show over to six Featured Artists. IN FOUR WEEKS: Huzzah! It's THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO # 900! I should probably oughtta show up for that one. 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, Sunday nights from 9 to Midnight Eastern, on the air in Syracuse on The Spark WSPJ-LP 103.3 and 93.7, and on the web at http://sparksyracuse.org/
