Rory Gallagher

For over twelve years I keep on looking for a good radio station down here. Awful they are. We have those rockstations like Kiss FM, which keep on playing Dreadlock Holidays and Hotel California every other day. I mean good if you have amnesia, you can cheer that these have potential to become a hit some day, but if no amnesia it is pretty damn boring.
The state owned radio stations are not better at all. They try to be trendy by having a special about lets say Neil Young and manage to play, or better, they manage to not play his major hits like Helpless, Cortez the Killer, Soul Man, Like a Hurricane and so on. No they play dragons like 'Long may they run' for instance, or the B-side of his great hitsingle 'For what it's worth' when he played with Buffalo Springfiled. Frustrating.

So coming back from a night out I tuned in on Radio-1, the classical tunes. Surprise surprise, cruising back I had a programm on about noises in nature. Noises in nature recorded in the seventies, believe me, waterfalls and squeeling and snorting horses.
Then with the most serious voice introducing another track from the University of Bogota, birds at dawn. Special birds !

That's why it is nice to just surf on YouTube and look for Rory Gallagher for instance. Play this one very very loud, it is meant to be.
Ladies and gentlemen, here he is RORY GALLAGHER !
