I had a mostly uneventful radio show today. But I was excited about playing that David Bowie song. I don't know anything about David Bowie. I mostly learn about his music through other artists who cover his song. But I do love "Queen Bitch." But like with Bob Dylan, I don't even know where Bowie era to begin with. It seems like his music has changed so much that it's all too overwhelming.
Last night, I went to see Shelby Lynn. I just don't get her. She has some CRAZY obsessed fans who were much more entertaining to watch than Lynn. But I just don't get what the fuss is all about. Her voice was nice and all, but she never belted it out Neko-Case-style which is what I wanted her to do. And she wore a freakin' business suit. Who the heck performs at the Artscenter in a freakin' business suit? But on the way home, I listened to Clarence "Frogman" Henry. His song, "Ain't Got No Home" makes me very happy and makes me dance with my shoulders.
I am still in a bad mood over this computer, so it's hard for me to express any joy over my radio show.
Here's the link to the entire playlist.

Re: David Bowie, get the album, "Hunky Dory".
Did you ever hear Al Stewart's concert recording of "The Year of the Cat"? In his long intro, he mentions Clarence "Frogman" Henry. It's funny.
I like Allison Moorer , Shelby's sister, better, but her albums are hit and miss. I'll burn one for you.
hunky dory is my fave bowie album too
