This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio # 954

Special programming will occupy our schedule for the next three weeks, making this the last regular TIRnRR of 2018. We went out with a freaking bang. From a salute to current Jeopardy! champion Jackie Fuchs (formerly Jackie Fox, bassist for The Runaways) through a handful of recent holiday releases and our usual embrace of the fantastic old and the fantastic new: bang. It's what we do. And we intend to crash into 2019 with the same intent, and the same result: this is The Best Three Hours Of Radio On The Whole Friggin' Planet. And now, another decade falls before our march.

NEXT WEEK: On December 23rd, The 20th Annual This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio Christmas Show! IN TWO WEEKS: On December 30th, This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio's 20th Anniversary Show! IN THREE WEEKS: On January 6th, the show we work toward all year long: THE COUNTDOWN!! This is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like on a Sunday night in Syracuse this week.
