Notes from KeenerLand - November 4
Notes from KeenerLand:
Walter Cronkite turns 88. For children of the 60s, he's still the "most trusted man in America." You can hear his audio essays from time to time on NPR.
Many of us are breaking out our 45s of "Mister You're a Better Man Than I" today as we read of Terry Knight's murder. The colorful former Flint DJ scored with "The Pack" before a second career as Grand Funk's Manager.
Terry Young did a good job recreating the essence of the WKNR sound last Friday on XM's 60s on 6. XM Satellite Radio features classic station profiles on occasional Fridays, but does a poor job of promoting it on their site.
Who did the best analysis of the 2004 election? Rather blathered, Blitzer only takes a breath in the middle of a sentence, Brokaw and Jennings hung in there admirably all night. But I still like Jon Stewart's equal opportunity skewering. His interpretations of the Kerry concession and the Bush outreach were classic.
Update your Podcast links this weekend with the latest Keener13.com podcast. Features include DP's first WKNR aircheck, Russ Gibb on the Paul is Dead story, favorite Keener commercials and more. The show will be posted sometime Saturday.
