U2, Johnny Cash, The Who, Bruce...  it's like Friday primer on good music. We might all have personal preferences, but there is a desert island essentials feel to this playlist. Can't complain!

You know, I love pop music, but that was pretty much awful.
 
Did you know... when Blitzkrieg Bop was written by The Ramones, they were trying to emulate The Bay City Rollers because they thought the song mentioned above was real catchy? Tis true. Well, if you believe magazine interviews.

Yeah, that riff or beat has only been used in a few thousand songs since Bo Diddley - and probably many before.

I am a little partial to "Darkness on the Edge of Town," but I totally agree with you....

I don't think this is as much a "copy" as a "homage." If you listen to any of his live shows, particulary those around the Darkness era, this song was frequently played in even more of a Bo Diddley style, sometimes with a lead in of a Bo Diddley song...blurring the distinctions between She's The One and whatever song he lead in with. So I think the "use" of the Bo Diddley beat or riff is intentional here.

I loved her.  I found WNEW in the early 70s and fell in ;love.  I saw BS many times in the early 70s, paying less than $10 for shows.  He was great, but her show was WONDERFUL.  Much like RP today.  I miss WNEW and WMMR in Philadelphia.  They were they best.

Same here. Newer stuff doesn't speak to me as much.

However, this period through The River?

At an Amnesty International show, Sting introduced him to us as "The Greatest Rock and Roller in the World."
I paused for a second and turned to my wife and said, "You know....that's true."

 Wow right back at ya, boob! 

I had forgotten about "the nightbird" until I read your post.  Had many a school night listening surreptitiously in the dark. 

What was the name of that gravelly voiced guy who worked the 2-6 shift (right after Pete Fornatale - who always ended his show with Paul Winter Concort)?  He, the gravelly voiced guy, was, like, the godfather of New York Rock and Roll radio. 

Just Googled it - Scott Muni (http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F03E1DC1538F933A0575AC0A9629C8B63).

Thanks for the memory.

Really hated this album growing up because of all the FM djs in New York who just were intent on forcing Bruce worship down our throats. Not exaggerating when I say they played him at least once every two hours. Now, years later, I hear this and of course it makes me all nostalgic for my youth. Ah, time the great healer.
