This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio # 1071

Sing with us now in the style of Harry Belafonte:

MODERNA! MODERNA! MODERNA! Me get Shot 2 and pray my arm don't swell up. All together now!

I've done my little part to help achieve herd immunity. Dana's already done his part, too. The masks stay on. The hands stay clean. The social distance remains about the same as my height, give or take; if I can fall forward and hit you in my descent, you're too damned close. We all still have a way to go before things get back to where they once belonged. But we'll get there. I can see bright lights off in the distance. Another Pleasant Valley Sunday, but in a good way. We need a change of scenery.

We'll get there. And here's some music for the journey. This is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like on a Sunday night in Syracuse.

This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl airs Sunday nights from 9 to Midnight Eastern, on the air in Syracuse at SPARK! WSPJ 103.3 and 93.7 FM, and on the web at http://sparksyracuse.org/ You can read all about this show's long and weird history here: Boppin' The Whole Friggin' Planet (The History Of THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO).
