Big thanks this week to YouTube sensation Matthew Street. We've been corresponding with our man Matt for years and years, and he's always expressed his support for whatever the hell This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio is and whatever the hell it is we're doing. And all we've gotta do is thank you, Matt. Thank you, Matt!
Recently, the esteemed Mr. Street devoted an enthusiastic episode of his video series to my current book The Greatest Record Ever Made! (Volume 1), and I am very nearly humbled. He even included a shout-out to TIRnRR. HuzZAH! You can witness Matthew Street's GREM! video right here, and we recommend you like, subscribe, and follow.
Isn't it great to be part of a community of people who love music? Fans, performers, pundits, podcasters, journalists, DJs, record labels, bloggers, vloggers, and everyone else who hears a song and sings along. We are legion. We are one. We are connected, and we are proud.
And we've got the music in us.
This is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like on another Sunday night in Syracuse this week.
