Vinyl Tapping On My Lumbar Spine....

Running Two, From, Back, And Fourth
To SaskatoonVille

Tonight the true King of CanCon, Randy Bachman, is going to set his oblique, but still dead to rights, sights on fellow Winnipeggedeer, Neil Young.

The show is called Vinyl Tap and it's on CBC Radio One at 7pm.

And if it's as good as last week's tribute to John Lennon it's going to be fantastic.

Heckfire, I even dug the Zeppelin show awhile back, and not just because of the true Zeppelin stories but also because I gained a new appreciation for the ultimate Zeppelin cover band/sister act.

Never thought I'd say this, but I think that the MotherCorp has managed to find a reasonably decent replacement for Finkelman.*

*Bachman nailed the audition last week when, between Yoko stories, he explained that the original Casio digital watch was an abomination because it took not one, but instead two, hands to tell time. It was like Danny Vu all over again.
Update due to post-post googledoodlenoodling... Like the patriarch in Kesey's 'Sometimes A Great Notion' who was played by Henry Fonda in the movies, it looks like Bachman, who is definitely himself a patriarch, may not hold much truck with picket lines. If true, I'm saddened but, then again, sometimes Saltspring Island really is like Oregon.
DoubleSecretProbationPostShowUpdate: And all killer no filler it was - especially the 10 mins of the godfather of grunge playing with Bachman and his son Tal doing a block take of I'm a Canadian....there's just no burn-out or fade-away with this guy and it looks like there may never be.
TripleSecretSundayProbationWithACherryOnTopUpdate: Of course, it has been an all Neil all the time weekend, so some might be a little sick of it....but....Kevin Chong's 2 hour road piece to the heart of Young's fans souls on DNTO was also fantastic (I couldn't get myself out of the car for the entire bit) and his book of same was heralded in a review in the Globe's book supplement, but what I really, really enjoyed was commenter Davey-boy's comment tacked on to Chong's Tyee piece about what posterity has in store for the craziest horse - a supergroup of monumental proportions, "Mozart, Beethoven, Bach and Young" (at least they won't have to deal with that madman Crosbie).
