Rock School - 05/15/22 (Rock Is Dead) Mar 17, 2022

Show notes

"Gene Simmons of KISS has doubled down on his statement that rock music is dead. Some agree. Some do not and some have written songs about it. Is rock dead or is the rock YOU like dead? We will look at this from a lot of angles."

Rock School - 05/08/22 (Ukraine) Mar 17, 2022

Show notes

"Pink Floyd released a song to raise money for Ukraine. It is their first in decades. Other artists have done so as well. We will discuss the songs, play a few Ukrainian rock bands and speak with a local preacher who just returned from The Ukrainian border. He and his wife were there to help people out of the country to safety in Romania."

Rock School - 05/01/22 (Binaural Beats) Mar 17, 2022

Show notes

"There has much interest in the use of frequencies for health, healing and general feeling better. The most famous are the Solfeggio Frequencies. However there is now the idea of playing frequencies against each other, in headphones in order to create a third beat, known as a Binaural Beat. We will do our best to explain it and play examples."

Rock School - 04/24/22 (420) Mar 17, 2022

Show notes

"This week will contain April 20. That's 4.20. It means smoking pot. But why? We will take an hour and discuss all the nicknames for pot and play songs dedicated to the herb. Enjoy. Dude."

Rock School - 04/17/22 (Censorship and Mtv) Mar 17, 2022

Show notes

"What was the first song taken off of Mtv because of content? The first one censored. It wasn't the first one I thought of, or the second. I know Mtv was cable but back in the early 1980s, things were a bit different and the FCC still had a hand in the process."

Rock School - 04/10/22 (The Razzies) Mar 17, 2022

Show notes

"The Golden Raspberry Award. It used to have a Worst Song catagory. Not anymore. But we will revist those that once made the cut in this award season. No one will be slapped during the show."

Rock School - 04/03/22 (Twice A Hit) Mar 17, 2022

Show notes

"There is a small group of songs that have charted twice. Not a remake or a remix but the exact same song. It charted twice often years apart. Today we will play a game. I'll tell you the song and the years that it charted. You then tell me why the song charted the second time. What happened that it got another spot on the charts?"

Rock School - 03/27/22 (Dolly and the Hall) Mar 10, 2022

Show notes

"The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominated Dolly Parton. She said no. They said sorry, the ballots have already gone out. Dolly is not the first artist to turn down the Hall. We have both those who turned down their nominations and those that took the award but failed to show up and play."

Rock School - 03/20/22 (No Chorus) Mar 10, 2022

Show notes

"Here is an interesting trivia question. Name a song that does not have a chorus. We have a few. We will also discuss the idea of a refrain, which is not a chorus. That will certainly come up."

Rock School - 03/13/22 (TV Themes That Became Hits) Feb 17, 2022

Show notes

"Here's the game. Name a TV theme song that then became a hit on the pop chart. You cannot choose a song that was first a hit and then used for a TV show. This must be a song written for a TV show that then became a hit. We have a bunch for you."
