KLEM FM


Civil rights struggles are universal and belong to all races, nations, creeds, etc., etc. To say otherwise or to emphasize exclusivity seems foolish.

That song is from the last U2 album I bought. I'm still kicking myself for missing their show in Madison at a small club around 1982. At the time, I only knew them from MTV and their version of "Gloria" which had nothing in common with Van Morrison.

Mermaids After Midnight


This song is by the Aqua Velvets, a surf rock band from San Francisco, and it closes out their 1997 album Guitar Noir. I think they are the best thing to come out of SFO since sourdough bread and I wish I had seen them then and there.
