Don't play 'Misty' on the Late Show. Older readers will get this - or just look it up.
I'm still
deep in my archives. Here's another story, ahead of our night of BRMB
Radio nostalgia this Thursday 24th at the Kitchen Garden Cafe in
King's Heath. More details on that below.
It's the end of the 70s. Punk
was pushing Rock dinosaurs out the way; the savviest punk operators
(Police, Squeeze, etc.) were already going mainstream. Joining Punk was Two-Tone, straight outta the West Midlands.
Coming up on the other flank was Disco. Different strands picked and pulled at what had been solid for ten years. Things
were changing. Rock was on the back foot.
Maybe with
that in mind, BRMB Radio moved me from evenings to the late shift.
Maybe they thought rock was over. Maybe management didn't actually like
rock. Maybe they were just sick of me being intense
about early Dire Straits.
Something had to give.
