On this edition of the program, we celebrated James Brown’s birthday, bid farewell to Mike Peters of The Alarm and Jill Sobule, reviewed the new inductees to the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, and learned that a keystroke error in the chat room that we thought was caused during the preparation of pierogi was actually caused by the family cat named Pierogi.

Nothing like being able to combine my love of rock ‘n’ roll with the sounds of my favorite season.
