Have been for years. My younger one saw three matches at the Emirates last year.

Everyone is talking about the quadruple, but there's also a fifth thing that could happen.

I missed celebrating St. Totteringham's Day on Sunday, but I might have a tipple tonight.

Amazing that Mike Lee can't crack the top four.

Sunday on REVIVAL on 90.9 The Bridge: We celebrate Women’s History Month on this week’s show with number one singles spanning the years from 1960 through 1990. We’ll time-travel from Connie Francis to Sinead O’Connor with The Crystals, Carole King, Kim Carnes and many more in the middle.

Sunday on REVIVAL on 90.9 The Bridge: One band backing three artists, nostalgia for a past that never existed, and some Eighties synth-pop. We also hear from the late Joe Ely. All that plus The Blasters, Brian Setzer, Anita Baker and much more.

The number one song in the US for all of December 1963 - immediately after JFK’s assassination - was entirely in French.

I love this album. He takes "Baby's In Black" - a middling song in the catalog - and somehow makes it profound.

Sunday on REVIVAL on 90.9 The Bridge: Our annual holiday special features soul, surf and country classics, plus some raucous raveups full of holiday spirit. It’s two hours of yuletide tunes sure to be merry and bright.

Tonight, there’s gonna be a jailbreak somewhere in the town. But presumably at the jail.

Sunday on REVIVAL on 90.9 The Bridge: prog-rock influences, goofball geniuses, and our first song of the holiday season. We also remember Jimmy Cliff. All that plus Blur, The Cure, The Church and much more.

A list of rock and roll holiday songs generated by Chat GPT, including β€œHeroin” (Holiday Remix) by The Velvet Underground, β€œIron Man” (Christmas Edition) by Black Sabbath, and β€œHoliday in Cambodia” (Festive Remix) by The Dead Kennedys.

In search of songs to round out my holiday show, I asked ChatGPT for 50 rock Xmas tunes. When I asked for 50 more, the machine chose violence.

All true, and still the best I’ve read all year. The whole piece is majestic in its depravity.

So, we'll air a new, two-hour edition of the show right after the match. But I'll also be on from 10:00 to 11:15 doing some freeform radio, made up (mostly) of tracks too recent for Revival. Tune in. We'll have fun.

We're shaking things up Sunday on 90.9 The Bridge, which means more of me on the radio, but at slightly different times. Coverage of KC Current's playoff match against Gotham FC starts at 11:15 on The Bridge. That means that Revival won't fit into its normal 10:00 CST to noon slot.

Sunday on REVIVAL on 90.9 The Bridge: A blues classic that became a hard-rock blueprint, some new-wave sounds, and a song of enduring peacefulness. We also hear an enigmatic icon of the underground. All that plus Jackie DeShannon, The Del-Lords, Dave Edmunds and much more.

Sunday on REVIVAL on 90.9 The Bridge: A pair of piano men, some classic country, and songs from the southern hemisphere. We also unearth some lesser-remembered Motown gems. All that plus T. Rex, Traffic, A Tribe Called Quest and much more.

Thanks, that’s deeply appreciated. I love going on with Jon (or Misti or Bryan). Those conversations are a lot different than the carefully scripted show.

I'll be on 90.9 The Bridge with Misti Mundae from 1 to 4 today and again on Thursday from 5 to 7 with Jon Hart to ask you to support local arts, culture and radio. With the recent elimination of federal funding for all public media, your membership means more than ever.
