Sonic Overload 8/31/15

Back to school already… well, not for me but for the students in this area, including all those pesky college students who invade Boston every year. So it’s time for the annual Salute to the Students. Even though people are back in school around here, I say summer ain’t over until Labor Day so I’m going to wring every last minute out of it! Next week’s show will mark Labor Day by featuring a number of songs for the workin’ people.

Sonic Overload 8/24/15

The show is bookended with some “real life” topics—I begin by marking the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina’s decimation of New Orleans, through the Legendary KO’s ruminations on the failures of the Bush administration to respond in a timely and effective manner. And I wrap things up with a song inspired by the stock market’s meltdown. I know some of you anti-capitalists probably say it’s a good thing (and I’m a socialist, as many of you know) but the harsh reality is there are plenty of people watching their retirement accounts shrink, so it’s not just the rich people being affected. In fact, the non-wealthy end up taking a bigger hit. So Gang of Four’s “To Hell With Poverty” seems like an appropriate conclusion...
