Planet Rock is about the only radio station I listen to these days, and the last couple of months or so its future has been in jeopardy. Fortunately, they've managed to find a buyer - or rather, a consortium including Tony Iommi, Ian Anderson, Fish and Gary Moore, all of whom regularly present programmes.
So I'm relieved - I've tried a few other "Classic Rock" stations, but they just don't seem to have the same depth as Planet Rock.
Rock ain't dead - it's alive and kicking!
:D :D :D :D :D

Thats good news for you Vic
Let there be rock !!
Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am
And you can listen online too, so those of you outside radio range can still load up on some good stuff.

Try it, its really good.
Have to admit, my favourite show is the one presented by Rick Wakeman - if he hadn't been born a genius keyboard player, there would still have been a good living for him as a stand-up comedian.....
There's a story he tells of being stood in line next to Pete Townshend, waiting to meet the Queen at some Royal premiere or other - her Maj says to Wakeman, "And are you in a band?" to which he replies, "Yes, Ma'am."
Q - "And what are they called?"
RW - "Yes, Ma'am."
Q (Thinking, ye gods, another simpleton who can't answer a simple question...."Who?"
RW (looking at Pete T next to him) "No ma'am, he's in "The Who".....I'm with Yes.
Q (Rolling her eyes, and moving on to Pete T) "And Who are you with?"
PT - Yes, Ma'am (PT's a bit deaf, and thought she'd asked if he was with the Who.....)
Q (To PT, glancing at RW) ah, so you're in the same band....
This went on for about 5 minutes or so - it's the way Wakeman tells 'em, honestly, I was in stitches, nearly wet meself laughing.....
Ah well, all I can say is, long live Planet Rock!!!!
:D :D :D

Nice story, Vic.
Glad to hear that your favourite radio stations is safe.
Vic, great story. That is a classic story for sure. As I read, I could envision all three standing there. This of course brings to mind the famous "Who's on First " routine done by Abbott and Costello.
Who's on First?
That is ALWYS good for a laugh.
