Dear Big AL, just finished with real listening to the last sets before The Beatles specials. The hate mail turtle incident. I'd suggest if it really bugged you don't stomp and holler. Every man is entitled to his own opinion. But I suspect from the term that there also was a big lack of courtesy involved. In this case I suggest you take the album Roll On and listen to Where The Sun Don't Shine. With a big smile. (a well-programmed drum machine this time)
But the question remains, with Erasure, ZZ Ward, Aloe Black, Terry Dactyl or Needtobreathe is this still Rockcast? I mean the best Rock show on the planet? Let's see, I'm no expert, but I've been around quite a while. Think back, in 2007 we had Freezepop, Boozoo Bajou, Crystal Method, Cornelius Brothers or Suzanne Vega and lots of Rock. Now it's Yllvis, Fitz And The Tantrum, The Three Degrees or Suzanne Vega and lots of Rock. So the answer then as is now is yes. (And it's really nice to know that Suzanna's Still Alive)
I still proudly call myself a Rockcaster and damn sure will keep that up. And if people ask the question what's a Rockcaster? I tell 'em. It's not about drums, heavy guitars and occasional soul, oh no. There's more in it than that, my friend. We all like a bit of the good show - some the music, some the infos, others the intros, the humour or the mixes. But a Rockcaster, oh, he's different. Why? Because a real Rockcaster wants the fucking lot. Still valid.
Hey, and for a good Rock 'n' Roll education and the mistakes. Yes, Terry Dactyl, that's not the Rock. Absolutely true, Jona Lewie is no Axl Rose. But without the Skiffle boom The Quarrymen would have never been formed. You know, the band that eventually became The Rolling Stones and had tremendous hits like Lola or Baba O'Riley. Hehe.
Keep on rocking the free world

Thanks Dino for the kind words. When I was much younger and would get together with friends we always spun records. After awhile somebody always busted out a platter of strange or something we didn't ordinarily listen to. The result was sometimes hilarious and always entertaining. So I guess I come by the lack of format through years of training. Like the Three Degrees, very cool old Philly soul and when I hear it I still see extra large football players dancing and singing it after a big victory. true that Terry Dactyl was one of those "strange" platters I was talking about. I just like saying Terry Dactyl, and Americans dont know the stoopid song. Yes my friends, Rockcast double O Stupid. Yea the Quarrymen, once married Mama Cass Elliot in a drive by the Cavern Club.[ I'm not that bad...]
