This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio # 1118

Clever words go here. Words of comfort, words of camaraderie, words of humor or empathy or commiseration, words of distraction when distraction is warranted, sober words when we shouldn't allow ourselves the luxury of distraction.

This is where the words go. In the moment, I don't feel like writing the words. I do feel like hearing some music. Wanna join? Happy to have you with us. Comfort and camaraderie, humor and empathy, commiseration and distraction. Words will follow when they can. 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 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).
