Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from January 6, 2017 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

At first I liked Rush, before punk/wave/ska/newromantic/postpunk came along, and I fell into that "more wave-than-thou" faze. I remember not showing that I was impressed when Ted Epstein told me he had learned all of Neal Peart's parts. But, now I know, that was amazing. It was before he was 16.

Avatar 🛒 Swag For Life Member 12:25pm
Lizardner Dave:

The origin of my WFMU Friendship Society name is Rush-related. When the playlist chats first started people were calling themselves "Listener (name)" and also around that time Freedman went on an anti-Rush rant saying that anyone who liked the band was a reptile. There already was a "Listener Dave" so I picked "Lizardner" which has proven to be difficult for DJ's to pronounce over the years.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:25pm
Doug Schulkind:

I was a huuge Rush fan in 1977-78. When I got to college, I called up the campus radio station and requested something from 2112. I said, "Make sure to pronounce the drummer's name Peert and not Pert." What a little prick I was.

My best friend Dan from high school won a radio contest and got to travel in a stretch limo to a Rush concert in Baltimore. He got a copy of all Rush's LPs and got to hang out backstage with the band. He brought my copy of 2112 and got it autographed.

Lizardner Dave was once Listener Dave. On the aforementioned defunct message board, he crowdsourced ideas for a new on-line handle.

I just googled Earache my Eye and am shocked by this: "According to Tommy Chong's autobiography, the famous guitar riff is played by Gaye Delorme, who also composed the music for the song. Additionally, Chong states that drums on the song are played by famed international percussionist Airto Moreira." I always thought it was Chong who played the guitar for some reason.
