Why the Grass Is Green and Why the Wind Is Never Seen: Transmission 290, 2016 July 16

We're falling back behind schedule again--now at 26 days, by my questionable math. Here is a Saturday night program that should probably not have been as long as it was, but I don't control things anymore. I was set to follow a roller-derby broadcast, which I thought might leave me just a few minutes of airtime after a long spell of babysitting an internet stream, but (mercifully? it was a crap bout and a rather disinterested play-by-play experience) we only broadcast one half of a doubleheader.

It was I and only I, though, who decided to use Life At The Top on a fill-in program rather than the usual Wednesday night hullabaloo. This record is, in post-Inside Out parlance, a "core memory" for me. Probably for several other KDVS alumni as well--I recall several of these tunes being used as promo underscoring in the mid-80s (I spent much time questing after this or that record that appeared in a radio ad back in the day).

Mistakes were made, but they are always made. Also, here's another program in which I felt compelled to respond to a Great One's death. 2016 can get in the sea, any minute now.
