The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit Show - A musical mid-life crisis -- a late-night search for meaning and happ
Hey Listeners,
When I decided on tonight’s theme I was torn between naming the show School of Rock or School’s Out. A distant third choice was Dazed and Confused – not for the Zap reference but a nod to Richard Linklater’s movie of the same name. The film is a classic and one of my favorites. Although it is set in a very specific time and place the film and its characters has universal appeal in the telling of the last day of school.
Anyway I landed on School’s Out a classic from my school years. And the Soul Asylum version recorded at a high school prom is perfect. Anyway tonight we’ll hear songs about school life, kids playing music, more songs about teachers and education, songs from coeds, songs about teen angst, young stars, families that made music together, TV songs, and even the Mouseketeers. So keep it tuned here. I hope this takes you back to your last day of school. Gotta love nostalgia!
