Renny's Riot
Wednesday August 20th, 2025 with Regressive Renny
Is a rock show on the radio that plays rock songs about rock & roll radio kind of redundant? Hell yes! But I'll have a riot doing it with new releases, bad words, dirty blues, Sixties stompers, crowd pleasers and a Can Con cram. Whaddya want? Skynard?

Great stuff Renny! That's a pretty straight ahead song for Captain Beefheart, he got much more unique, shall we say, as time went on.

2:41 PM, August 20th, 2025
Renny G (host)
That, dear Frankie, is an understatement.

Shades of Ian with the Charlie Rich track!

2:59 PM, August 20th, 2025
Renny G (host)
Yeah, Ian is the dude who turned me on to Charlie Rich. I had only heard his sappy overproduced Nashville stuff, until the Sonic Sensei shook some sense into me.

listening from outside Bowser on Vancouver Island after an invigorating walk along the (finally) sunny beach on the Pacific Ocean... Heaven, baby...

Captain Beefheart was was a bit of a chameleon with music styles. You never knew what he was gonna do.

3:07 PM, August 20th, 2025
Renny G (host)
I envy you someone. Vancouver Island is a magical place.

Neil DGD
Renny are you going to Barnstorm?

3:08 PM, August 20th, 2025
Renny G (host)
I agree. DGD, he could create and sing the most beautiful ballads or the roughest of blues. Ice Cream For Crow was the first music video displayed at the Museum Of Modern Art in New York City.

someone (to be or not to be)

Renny G (host)
And of course condolences to you on your loss, Neil. A Labrador is one of the gentlest, goofiest, friendliest, faithful dogs in creation. I know what it's like to lose one. My heart aches for you bud.

3:12 PM, August 20th, 2025
Renny G (host)
No. It's too difficult for me, with the oxygen generator and the tubes and the camping. I'm afraid I can't go.

3:14 PM, August 20th, 2025
Renny G (host)
Tell ya a secret......

3:14 PM, August 20th, 2025

Thx Renny and also for your tribute to Drake. All you curators have been a rock for me. Again, are you going to Barnstorm. Would love to shake your hand and say thanks for all the music......in person.

3:15 PM, August 20th, 2025
Renny G (host)
I'm was the one who named Barnstorm. tic was looking for a name and asked me if I had any ideas. Barnstorm was the Son Of Shed Sessions......but B.S. is much better organized, presented, produced. tic is a bit of a logistics genius. Just don't tell him I said that.

3:16 PM, August 20th, 2025
Renny G (host)
I've got a dog song I want to play for you Neil. Maybe in two weeks time. It's called Old Dog Blue by Jim Jackson. First time I heard it after my Booker boy died I bawled like a baby. It just triggered that sense of loss. I'll dedicate to Drake's spirit in Sept.

Frankie
Thanks Renny.

3:29 PM, August 20th, 2025
Renny G (host)
Take care, be safe and support each other. Thanks for listening.

Neil
Thanks Renny. I've been bawling for 12 days now. I will look forward to this song brother. We Labby dads have to stick together. Thx for sharing the Barnstorm story. I knew you and tic are pretty tight. I am a big fan of you both from the first times I heard your show.s. Hope the rib's healing up nice, man!
