Maturing may be beyond our ability. But even if we can do it, I don't want to.
As this year's calendar nears its final page, I feel the accumulated weight of sand in the southernmost part of the ol' hourglass. I'm pretty sure that none of us is getting any younger. Man, we've been doing Dana & Carl radio shows for nearly 31 years, and This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio is approaching its 24th anniversary. Aches? Barnacles? We HAVE those! In abundance!But this show is built from pure adrenaline. Music is timeless, then and now, the thrill of the new always forming and renewing an alliance with classic favorites. Rockin' pop is its own reward. It doesn't keep us young. It does slow the process of getting old.
Plus: it's FUN!
So here's another three hours of fun on the radio. The sense of delight remains fresh. Invigorating. Evergreen. The spark remains.
And so do we.
This is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like on a Sunday night in Syracuse this week.
This week's show is available as a podcast: TIRnRR # 1157
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, on the web at http://sparksyracuse.org/, and via the TuneIn Radio and Radio Garden apps as Westcott Radio.
