Hello. Sad, sad pee-weeness... The guy had a lot of class.

But it's mostly sinéaidness!

9:35 AM, August 3rd, 2023
B
'sinéadness'

9:36 AM, August 3rd, 2023
B
I mean, Sinéad... A straight shooter like her, no wonder she had a problem with a world that's superficially 3/4s bullshit and euphemisms.

9:38 AM, August 3rd, 2023
Ryan Bresee (host)
Yup. She was one-of-a-kind.

9:46 AM, August 3rd, 2023
B
She did some great covers too, on one album. Black Coffee by her is fine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNeHuyVnwhc

10:02 AM, August 3rd, 2023
B
Same album as 'Success...', Black Coffee, I think. Must replay her, I have maybe 4 of hers.

10:05 AM, August 3rd, 2023
Ryan Bresee (host)
I've been revisiting her albums all week.

10:16 AM, August 3rd, 2023
B
Nice tribute you're doing there, Ryan. Both the songs and the stories.

10:16 AM, August 3rd, 2023
B
This tour d'horizon of yours is making me notice, outside of how fine her singin' is, just how *good* her songs are (varied, musically), and how ably she's supported by the musicians.

10:20 AM, August 3rd, 2023
B
'All Apologies' -- I never knew she'd covered that real famous song.

10:21 AM, August 3rd, 2023
Ryan Bresee (host)
Excellent! My work here is done!

Joe Pesci -- America's moral center. /s

Bravo. I just kinda knew that someone would do a special on Sinead, and that someone is you. I watched that SNL live, loved it, but said WOW. I never knew the story behind the actual pic!

10:28 AM, August 3rd, 2023
Ryan Bresee (host)
Really interesting, right?

10:29 AM, August 3rd, 2023
Bruce White
Great show today, Ryan. Love it when you tell stories to give a background to the music. Gotta get back to your Kristofferson selection now....

10:31 AM, August 3rd, 2023
Ryan Bresee (host)
Thanks, Bruce!

Info: there's a tornado *watch* -- not a warning -- for all of Ottawa.

11:34 AM, August 3rd, 2023
B
Well-matched, Vai and Machio!

11:36 AM, August 3rd, 2023
B
Steve Vai's got this smoothness to his playing...

11:42 AM, August 3rd, 2023
Ryan Bresee (host)
I'm not big on guitar solos, but dude has serious skills.

11:43 AM, August 3rd, 2023
B
Thanks!

Ode to Sinead ... feel her deep settin' off for her Tour, on our side in da Ghosty Ethers, her Star-songs, Take'n before her Time, the Wheel turns until the chosen Soul's Time to be done

Ryan, enjoyed your segment on Sinéad -- especially the anecdotes -- whose politics and personality endear me to her more than her music. Great piece in the NYT from a couple of years ago: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/18/arts/music/sinead-oconnor-rememberings.html
