Today, throwback Thursday.
Here we go.
We started off with Space Hog in the meantime from 1996.
Very good, sir.
Then we went to, recorded at Catamount Studios in Cedar Falls and tied to the fact that in San Francisco there, who's shutting the, shut off the phone.
Just keep going.
I know.
The 420 festival out in San Francisco got canceled.
Okay, Catamount Studios.
I know I'm going to the next one, which is the second song.
So the clue for Catamount is just something that was recorded at Catamount.
Correct.
Okay, next.
And then it went to the fact that they canceled it, so I figured we'd feature a track, Stone Sours, Inhale.
Wouldn't that have been Catamount Studios?
Nope, that would have been the 420 Festival that got canceled.
I am so confused.
So...
The song the catamount
I spoke but I
didn't
inhale
the cat about the cat about stuck so much on that But the catamount
song is from a festival.
It was canceled.
No the title of the song was inhale What do you do out at the 420 festival out there?
Well, you won't do it this year because it got canceled you would inhale.
Okay,
mm-hmm You had to be there.
I guess.
Yeah So the song title for the third song is inhale.
No, that's the second song
Sounds like you inhaled before you came today.
Okay people listening.
Is it me or is it not?
Okay, so we're still in the second song.
No, we're moving to the third one The second song was recorded the catamount studios and has something to do with inhale.
It's called inhale.
Oh, it's called inhale by stone sour by stone sour.
Yes.
Oh, you're giving it away.
Okay.
Got you next.
Yes The third song that we played was from the cult 1987's wildflower.
Love that love the cult
And now, here's your clues.
Okay.
This one, the band formed in 1997 in Red Lion, Pennsylvania.
The singer and drummer are siblings and their last name is in the band name.
Oh, it's Hale.
Hale Storm.
There you go.
Okay.
In 2015, this song was released and went to number one for the band.
It's a one word title.
Starts with the letter a describing the complete destruction of the world asshole.
Nope Hmm four horsemen I like oh four horsemen of the apocalypse.
There you go.
You're getting to it Apocalyptic hail storm.
I'll give it to you You got like three quarters of the way there and I'll give it to you because I messed up so hard my brain
so my brain so scrambled right now I'm thinking of apocalyptic
I'm sorry, what?
Can you say that again?
It's
another word I have trouble with.
Oh, no.
Apocalyptica.
Yeah.
So, I'll pop a lick up from Hollastorma next.
It's Throwback Thursday on the Rock 108 Morning Show.
Russ, I picked this song out today on Throwback Thursday because it was announced yesterday that the singer that was with Skid Row left.
He
was a Scandinavian dude.
Ergson, something like that.
Eric.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Eric Grunwald.
Yeah.
Thank
you.
And Lizzie is supposedly going to jump in on Skid Row's gigs in May and June.
I think that's great.
Lizzie needs a band.
What?
You don't think Hale Storm is a band?
I think they're kind of over.
Interesting.
Yeah.
OK.
Uh, they had covered Slave to the Grind on their 2011 covers album, Reanimate.
So I was like, all right, well, let's get some Hailstorm.

Scandal box on Rockwood away playing our birthday show in August along with Bush and Jerry Cantrell 32 years old.

It'll be great We'll eventually have to apply for double ARP at some point, but that's gonna be many years down the line Opening day of baseball and you told me you're already angry about it Well, I've been angry
about it for many years because I'm a grumpy old bastard But it used to be opening day
Back in my day.
It was always April 1st.
You knew opening day.
It was kind of tantamount to a national holiday Opening day was opening day April 1st You knew what your team was doing in Boston.
It was usually the Red Sox versus the Yankees or the Yankees versus the Red Sox It was a national holiday Sort of now they've have these soft openings.
I never know what opening day is
I'm walking out to my car this morning and I get a bleep on my phone.
It's Tom Carmine.
Are you wearing your opening day shirt?
Yeah.
He knows my schedule better than I do.
I was
like, no, I forgot today was opening day.
Yeah.
So tomorrow I will wear opening
weekend shirt.
Okay.
It's opening weekend.
So today, Tigers, White Sox, Twins, Royals, Cardinals, Dodgers all start around 310.
Okay.
And the Cubs on the road to face the Texas Rangers at 635.
Eddie Vedder.
has a song that ties to that.
Hey, take a listen to this.
Don't let anyone say that it's just a game.
For
I seen
other teams and it's never the same.
When you're born in Chicago, you're blessed and you're healed.
The first time you walk into Wrigley Our heroes wear pinstripes, heroes in blue Give us the chance to feel like heroes too Forever we'll win and if we should lose we know someday we'll win
So any better I
love that yeah every year I play center field by John Fogarty and tomorrow I will do that during the lunch hour because it's one of the best baseball songs ever Next next to take me out to the ball game.
I figured I would spin this for you since I didn't know that existed.
You didn't know this.
No, okay Well, how about this for
you?
How did this become a Boston song?
I don't know.
But it has.
I think I do know.
Here
we go.
Everybody
sing
along.
Next verse.
Touching
hands.
Reaching
out.
Reaching out.
Touching me, touching you.
Touching me, touching you.
Made my day all right made my day see there's times that he's not grumpy.
I promise
I think I know how that became the huge song in Boston.
Yeah Boston has a This is gonna be a shock to many people.
I know Boston has a huge Irish pub thing going
on.
Yeah
Really whoa like people have to work would go to the Irish pub people on weekends and They always had a singer up on a stool.
Okay
with the guitar, strawman singing songs.
And there was one guy, forget his name, who was the most popular and would play all the Irish pubs.
Can't remember his name.
But he took that particular song and made it dirty.
And she was a filthy little trollop.
And he changed the words to reflect that.
And.
the part where everybody goes, so good, so good, was you whore, you bitch.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
And that became a thing in every Irish pub in Boston.
So I imagine what happened is at some point, the guy that spins the music at Fenway Park just randomly played that song and the whole fricking audience
erupted
into what they know the song to be.
And the rest, of course, is history.
That is your history lesson for today.
From Russ.
Does it make sense?
Yeah.
And now you know the rest of the story.
Some of you will get that.
That's
an old Paul Harvey reference.
We're radio geeks,
we know.
Disturbs latest with Ann Wilson from Hart.
Paul Harvey, good day.
948 we were just talking baseball talk and postal P1 checked in at 319-2345-369 on the text line said the individual you spoke of that was in the Irish pubs
John Valby how
is it you put something out there in Iowa about Boston and somebody does the answer and I didn't John Valby is correct Google has him as an American music singer songwriter comedian and producer known for his obscene song parodies also known as dr. Dirty he performed all the colleges in New England he performed all the pubs in New England and he was amazing he happens to be from Buffalo, New York
Alright, so after playing sweet Caroline Russ was in a great mood now.
He's not Disturbed featuring Ann Wilson.
It's new and called don't tell me Disturbed don't tell me featuring Ann Wilson of heart Rockwood awaits.
What you looking at over there?
Oh, I'm just doing scrolling.
Oh
Postal P1.
He gets two segments here.
He's from Cedar Rapids.
He travels a lot.
And of course, I see a lot on the internet.
Who is?
This Postal P1.
He mentioned the John Valby.
Oh, right.
OK.
You asked if he was from Boston.
This is going to make you mad.
Valby was a guest.
He did songs like that in New York bars.
Yeah,
I think Valby was not, although Valby did all the colleges in New England.
Okay.
He's not the guy I was remembering these to sit in the bars.
So
it's a false memory.
Valby was a false
memory.
Oh, you had a little Mandela effect.
Little
Mandela
effect, yes.
