2 AUGUST 2005: VIOLENT FEMMES

The Violent Femmes were the guests. They talked about the music industry and about Jerry Lee Lewis. Had Lewis written his own material or just tagged his name on the song writing credits a la Elvis and Arthur Cruddup? In other words, had Lewis added his name for a piano riff? They asked for listeners to call in with info and someone did with some information.

Then Jonesy said something that kind of surprised me, but shouldn’t have, given the state of corporate radio. He apparently asked the White Stripes to come on his show but they are some other station’s pocket. (The crock? The tinsel star? He didn’t say which corporate station.)

Honestly I missed most of this show. No song titles. Sorry.
