re: Odetta
I too heard Greg Vandy’s interview last night….I agree that it was excellent…and in general Vandy is one of the best DJs at KEXP. I look forward to his show every week, with or without the interviews…there’s nothing else like it on the radio (a mix of old soul, folk, and blues). But later in the evening DJ Riz was also rockin’ it. Riz’s set was the most tripped out mix I’ve heard on the station, a lunatic blend of dialog from Apocalypse Now and Jennifer Gentle songs. It was all in celebration of the anniversary of the discovery of LSD (I believe, correct me if I’m wrong….it could also have been the anniversary of Timothy Leary’s death. I can’t remember), and it made me wish I was back in the blacklight days of college….
It actually was in celebration of the creator of LSD's birthday, he turned 100! LSD = fountain of youth?
