Today is the official publication date of my new book Gabba Gabba Hey! A Conversation With The Ramones. A number of people have already received their copies, and the hype machine is kickin' into gear.
For This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio's part, we featured the music of the Ramones throughout the month of April, and this week's show begins a three-part salute to THE RAMONES AT THE MOVIES. And during Memorial Day weekend, our May 28th show will present Gabba Gabba Hey! A Celebration Of The Ramones.
Being a Ramones fan changed my life for the better. I'm delighted to share that magic 1-2-3-4! spark with any and all who will listen.
This is rock 'n' roll radio. Stay tuned for more rock 'n' roll. And this is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like on another Sunday night in Syracuse this week.
This show is available as a podcast.
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, streaming at SPARK stream, and on the Radio Garden app as WESTCOTT RADIO. Recent shows are archived at Westcott Radio
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).
TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS are always welcome.
The many fine This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio compilation albums are still available, each full of that rockin' pop sound you crave. A portion of all sales benefit our perpetually cash-strapped community radio project:
