      Original Airdate: Circa 2015 Intro       Good morning and welcome to Andy See’s (mostly) Rock N’ Roll Variety Show, and you just heard the first time I have ever played a song before I started speaking!  I’m hoping that a lot of children are listening because today’s show is especially appropriate for them. The show in question is Animaniacs, which ran from 1993 to 1997 and is generally considered second only to Batman: The Animated Series as the best cartoon of the 90’s.  Considering that this was the Animation Renaissance, that is saying something! Anyway, this show had various characters with their own segments, but the main char...

Intro       Welcome to Andy See’s (mostly) Rock N’ Roll Variety Show!  It has occurred to me that I rarely (if ever) cover music made by African-Americans and have never made a show for an artist associated with the 1950s.  In addition, July 4th was two days ago, so I need something All-American for that holiday.  Chuck Berry fills all those requirements for me.       Charles Edward Anderson Berry was born in 1926 meaning he was almost thirty years old when he started his career.  He lived in a middle-class black family in St. Louis, MO for his childhood and adolescence, but even in a state that wasn’t too harmful to black folks like Misso...

Intro       Good morning Indiana, PA and whoever else might be listening and welcome to Andy See’s (mostly) Rock N’ Roll Variety Show.  Well, I hinted at this in my Rock Star Show two weeks ago, so I might as well do a show about Dire Straits.  Actually, it might be wrong to call Dire Straits a band since they were basically Mark Knopfler, and whatever musicians he deemed worthy as he refused to let even his brother Dave write songs in the short time he was with Dire Straits (for the record, Kevin Rowland was as much of a control freak with Dexys Midnight Runners).  In any case, if you have just listened to bombastic music like Queen or Me...

      Original Airdate: Early June 2015       Good morning and welcome to Andy See’s (mostly) Rock N’ Roll Variety Show.  Today, we start a special month.  With great fame comes great haters, and obviously not everybody is going to like your music.  However, for some bands and artists, it can reach ridiculous proportions.  Welcome to Musician Pariah Month, in which I give hated bands and artists their due.   Now as my 50’s/60’s artist, there were only a few choices from Spin’s 30 Most Hated Artists.  The only other choices were Lawerence Welk and Pat Boone. Thankfully, I chose The Monkees.  They were hated for being cast like a boy band w...

Intro       Good morning and welcome back to Musician Pariah month of Andy See’s (mostly) Rock N’ Roll Variety Show.  I am taking hated musicians and saying why they deserve your respect and possibly your admiration.  Today’s band was actually not hated by music fans, they were hated by critics.  Music critics tend to prefer straightforward Rock N’ Roll to artsy material (with a few exceptions).  This is why bands like The Sex Pistols and The Ramones tend to get much more praise than they deserve.  It is also why Yes, Rush, and Peter Gabriel era Genesis have a grand total of zero albums in the book of Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums th...
