July 29, 2021 – #BecomeUngovernable Radio

Good Morning, Music Lovers. We’ve got a wide open stream all day today except for our tribute to Dusty Hill of ZZ Top, our first open stream day in a while.

***Today, we put ZZ Top In the Spotlight as we remember bassist Dusty Hill.***

Here’s Friday’s line-up:

10:00 a.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of ZZ Top NEW!

Today we put ZZ Top In the Spotlight in tribute to Dusty Hill, who passed away in his sleep on July 27 at the age of 72. ZZ Top was formed in Houston, Texas in 1969 by guitarist and vocalist Billy Gibbons. After a few personnel changes, drummer Frank Beard and bassist Dusty Hill joined in 1969 and 1970 respectively. This line-up remained constant until Hill’s death the other day.

That is our only programming for the day. The rest of the day is wide Open Stream at the discretion of The Music Mermaid, who has impeccable taste, I might add. We’re free 24/7. We don’t ask for your credit card number of personal information. And we don’t disturb your music with advertising.

Good Morning, Musicologists! We have some great programming for you today as we approach our first Open Stream day in a while (tomorrow).

***We have The Kinks live at The Palladium later.***

Here’s today’s line-up:

11:00 a.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of George Harrison

Today we give you the musical genius of George Harrison as a member of The Beatles, as a solo artist, and as the infamous Nelson Wilbury. The Traveling Wilburys, the greatest Supergroup of all time, was Harrison’s brainchild. They made some of the best music on the planet.

3:00 p.m. Album of The Week: Standing in The Doorway by Chrissie Hynde

While Eric Clapton and Van Morrison whined over being locked down (and continue to whine; a characteristic I dislike in people), Chrissie Hynde made it count. This is a fantastic album of lesser-known Bob Dylan covers. Right now it’s our official Album of the Year.

7:00 p.m. The Kinks Live at The Palladium, New York, December 31, 1980

The battling Davies brothers also shared the spotlight in one of the finest rock n’ roll bands in history. Tonight we have some live Kinks for you. It’s been a while since we aired this one.

Ho Hum. Here we go again. Tune us in. Yadda Yadda Yadda. Can’t say it enough. We’re free. We ask for nothing (an unusual thing these days). And we give you some of the best music from the best era on the planet.
