    I see. So the title of the show is looking to take advantage of the
    false narrative started by white rock critics in the 60s. The one that
    says that that rock and roll started in the mid-50s with Bill Haley,
    Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Fats Domino and Elvis.

    If you can suggest a better title for the show, I'm listening.

    I don't agree with Bruce on this point. I enjoy "Roots Rock Radio"
    precisely *because* almost all the songs are familiar to me. I can
    relax and enjoy the sounds of my childhood without having to pay rapt attention.

    You can make your own playlist and do the same thing at any time of any

    popular on college radio stations for years. Yak, yak, yak in between
    every record.

    I do that all the time, but it's a different experience when you have no
    idea what's on the dj's playlist and every song is a pleasant or
    unpleasant surprise.
