Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

"Blue Hippos formed from the ashes of Otto's Chemical Lounge, a semi-legendary blues-grundge-n-psychedellia-driven cult band formed by Osby and singer Dale Nelson. (Otto's split up in 1985, but eventually spawned punk iconoclasts Halo of Flies as well as the Hippos.) Al Schroeter had been Otto's last bassist, and he and Osby recuited former Rifle Sport drummer James Petroski to complete the trio. They took their name from a '60's Minneapolis motorcycle gang - the wimpiest gang in town, according to legend"
Also, Otto's Chemical Lounge seem to be active today, so, Phoenix-like, they were re-born from the ashes that spawned Blue Hippo.

Mar 23, 2021—In the early 1970s, Hollywood released around 200 movies centered on Black characters, which, in their success, helped avert a financial crisis ...
NYT review, excerpt:
Music responded by turning inward. The Laurel Canyon musicians weren’t interested in scoring a revolution. They focused on themselves. Some of them, notably Joni Mitchell, were achingly poetic. The more successful bands, like the Eagles, trailed behind them a constant drug-fueled party, and as Brownstein points out, presaged the drift from political activism to personal pleasure that enshrined the 1970s as the Me Decade.
TV tried to have it both ways...

Sounds like a plan, Joe! Those were specifically from tim from champaign (now washington) and me and Kate. tim said "get cheap American lager for Joe and Todd" -- and it, uh, just happens to be squarely in my skill set.
Looking forward to hearing it, Domenica!
