This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl is simply too large a concept to be neatly contained within a mere three-hour weekly time slot. Hence these occasional fake TIRnRR playlists, detailing shows we're never really going to do...but could.
I need to get my mind off the despicable actions of traitorous right-wing zealots for a few minutes. So we're going full-on frothy for a sec, with a fake TIRnRR playlist consisting of songs that have something specific in common with all those exhibits of evidence regarding election fraud committed on behalf of President-Elect Joe Biden: they don't exist.
They. Don't. Exist.
These are title songs from albums that don't have title songs. I wish each of these songs were real, and I can close my eyes and imagine what some of them might sound like. But in the real world, wishful thinking isn't quite the same thing as, y'know...evidence. No, this is just fantasy, and a far more benign fantasy than the venomous delusions spewing out of the White House.
I don't seem to be succeeding in my goal of getting my mind off our American Nazis, do I? Oh well. Time to play some music, even if the music we play is fictional. I kinda wish some talented souls would take a stab at writing and recording some of these make-believe songs--I made my own inept attempt to write "Rocket To Russia"--but that's a fantasy for another day. Real life awaits. And real change begins on January 20th. That soundtrack will be amazing.
