Explanation #1: I was following up the previous week's reference to Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden Of Earthly Delights, which was the last song I played on the show (March 26). Bosch was obsessed with the corruption of humans. Bertolt Brecht, whose CD I played this week in its entirety, was also obsessed with the corruption of humans juxtaposed with the innocence of the innocent. I followed the Brecht with the Johnny Thunders album. Johnny Thunders is an example of innocence corrupted and debauched. I followed the Johnny Thunders with Nina Hagen, who offers the insight that "junkies are sentimental," yet offers the sage advice, "don't do it no more."
Explanation #2: The cassette machine was broken and as I am only here to amuse myself and could
not make an air-check, I opted to goof off by playing only three things and surfing rotten.com
while they played.
