Join CLASSICKONG and WTSG-DB for a heartfelt—and occasionally hilarious—journey through August 31 in music history. 🎙️❤️
Today we revisit Dire Straits’ beautiful “Brothers in Arms” and the meaning behind Mark Knopfler’s haunting song, celebrate Metallica reaching the top with The Black Album, and remember the wonderful Bob Welch—whose “Precious Love” somehow came across WTSG at exactly the right moment while we were preparing today’s program. ❤️📻
We also celebrate Wilton Felder and the Crusaders, remember drummer Jerry Allison, wish Rudolf Schenker, Van Morrison, and Debbie Gibson happy birthdays, salute Alice Cooper’s long tradition of surrounding himself with incredible guitar players, and remember why Roadrunner Records became such an important home for hard rock and heavy metal.
Plus, Michael Jackson’s Bad story continues—and CLASSICKONG attempts to interpret the George Harrison “My Sweet Lord” copyright decision.
That last part goes about as well as you’d expect. 😂⚖️🦍
Beginning with today’s program, our podcast is the guided tour—focused on the stories, memories, humor, and heart behind the music. For additional album details, dates, discography recommendations, and deeper music history, visit the complete written edition at WTSG.net.
Turn it up, remember the music, and whenever you can:
Give people their flowers while they’re still here to smell them. ❤️
Great Music. Great Radio. Great Community.
WTSG-DB 🎙️🇺🇸
