Sonic Overload 1/18/16

2016 is off to a terrible start for losses in the music world. Following the passing of Lemmy, David Bowie and my old friend Filip Fuchs from See You In Hell, the past week has brought the deaths of Clarence “Blowfly” Reid, Dale “Buffin” Griffin from Mott the Hoople and I also just found out about the death of Glenn Frey from the Eagles. I’m not an Eagles fan and it’s highly unlikely you’ll hear one of their songs on here (I’ll admit I like “Victim Of Love”) but maybe I’ll play an Eagles cover version later this week if I can find a non-wretchworthy one.

Not much to add—I really don’t want to ponder my own mortality any more than I already have lately.  But who’d believe that Keith Richards would outlive all of ‘em?

Oh yes, Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. I mark the occasion, as always, by playing a few segments of his speeches and an interview from the final year of his life, as well a few appropriate songs.
