Trying to emerge from hibernation; I wish I had something better to serve for breakfast. This was the first of a string of semi-disastrous programs that filled a very weird January. I've said many a time that my sharpest radio focus comes from radio anger, so I guess the corollary is that happiness is sloppiness. But I don't remember being happy at this time, so I don't know where that leaves us.
Anyway, we do have another installment of the "Hall of Vengeance," a gathering of artists that is coalescing very slowly, for no good reason. And I was very happy to find the
Rocksteady record, even though it does have sort of an "Eddie Murphy as Clarence the Fifth Beatle" thing going. But the groove wins out, always!
