 ROCKOLLECTIONS: TRIBUTE/MEMORIAL 2007 PT.7
from WLSO.FM
April 10, 2008
If you are getting fatigued by the topic, this is the next-to-last of our Tribute/Memorial shows. But it does show you how each year our Rock s House Of Cards. Which is the same title of a song by Radiohead. Hence, there IS a connection! Then a two-for-one. Lee Hazelwood passed away. He was a weird, reclusive guy, but wrote many amazing hit songs, for himself, others, and most notably for Nancy Sinatra. In the late 1990 s, he was suddenly embraced by alternative rockers like Nick Cave and Sonic Youth. Also former First Lady, wife of Lyndon, Lady Bird Johnson left us. A song for both of them, as I have Lee Hazelwood ll play the opening song from my treasured vinyl LP, Glenn Yarbrough Live At The Hungry i, where he had the audience participate in the singing! Finally, Teresa Brewer passed away at 76. There are songs that filter into you as a child, here are a couple that got to me. These are real fun to hear, Teresa rockin in the Pre-Rock days- and clearly an influence on that little Brenda Lee to come. Put ANOTHER nickel in the nickelodeon! One last chapter to go.
