Show #4 was about the names of the ladies, the women who made the guys burn and pine and howl and sweat.
I just wrote a different and incredibly groovy, whole far-out intro and then deleted it by accident. Aargh. So we'll just get to it.

Too Much To Dream
Show #3: To sleep, perchance to play songs about dreams and dreaming, hallucinations and methods of occupying and preoccupying the brain. No idea why this actual playlist didn't post on the ZBC website...

Is this just an atomic trip?
This week on the TA, agitation preparation for the upcoming holiday weekend. Songs about social change, the perception of freedom, war, and chicks, man. American girls.
It's impossible to talk about the 60's and American garage bands without talking about the Vietnam War. Out of the era's agitated social and hormonal landscape came poetic and wrenching protest songs. What gets me is what happened to so many of the kids writing and playing those songs. There were high school kids chugging along, playing music with their friends and having a good time, maybe about to get noticed or just been signed when somebody in the band got the call-up. And even if your singer, guitarist, bass player, drummer, fuzzy Farfisa man did make it home from Southeast Asia, nothing was ever the same.
Aaah, this show's not all sober and serious. Kit & The Outlaws get feisty; The Move brings electoral swagger; and Robby John & The Seven-Teens are downright head-scratchingly silly. Jerry Howard brings a little pop cheese to close out the hour.
Alas, none of the usual dazzling audio commentary for this show. Oh the irony of doing radio and being unable to talk! Not an illustration about the muzzling of our civil liberties. Mostly laryngitis.
