This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl is simply too large a concept to be neatly contained within a mere three-hour weekly time slot. Hence these occasional fake TIRnRR playlists, detailing shows we're never really going to do...but could.
I compiled this playlist on Tuesday, many hours before any polls were closed. I'm committing to it at this moment in my present and your past, hoping that the polls are correct, praying that the will of the just and righteous will carry the day, and resolved to see the will and welfare of our citizens honored and observed without obstruction.
This is music for a bluer sky. I hope to see that today. But whether that hope is realized or deferred, we'll keep marching either way. Hand in hand for a while, fists in the air when necessary--this land is our land, and we will see it prosper under the beauty of a blue sky.
This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl--y'know, the real one--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). 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:
