(Weekend of February 10-February 12, 2012)
The Big Bang!
Hey baby, Little Steven here with our Underground Garage pop quiz of the week.
What was the most important moment in the history of Rock n’ Roll?
Elvis Presley on Ed Sullivan?
Willie Kizart’s amplifier falling off the roof of the car before the Rocket 88 session?
We say its February 9, 1964, and we are calling it the Big Bang.
Joining us will be the Swingin’ Blue Jeans. The Bee Gees, Buddy Holly & the Crickets, Badfinger, the Rolling Stones, and the Marvelettes.
Brand new music from Nils Lofgren, the Launderettes, the Black Keys, Trolley, Bruce Springsteen, the Boo, the Cocktail Slippers, and a new one from Ringo.
Tune in and find out what Fats Domino, Tony Sheridan, and Martin Lewis have in common.
It is the Big Bang of Rock n’ Roll, baby, without which we would all be sopranos.
I’ll see you this weekend in the Underground Garage.
