Happy belated birthday to rock 'n' roll poet William Blake, who was born 260 years ago yesterday.
An yes I did say Rock 'n' Roll. Blake's poems not only influenced the lyrics of rockers like Bob Dylan and Patti Smith, he's been covered by several acts in the rock era.
Folkie Greg Brown did a whole album of Blake songs called called Songs of Innocence and Experience. Here's a track called "The Tyger."
Welcome, good people, to another breathtaking episode of The Big Enchilada. No need to worry about nuclear war because many cities across this land of the free still have fallout shelters left over from the Cold War. And if you're well-stocked with Big Enchilada episodes in your portable music player of choice, you'll be thrilled and entertained until the whole thing blows over.
In all seriousness, this episode is dedicated to the late great Fred Cole of Dead Moon / Pierced Arrows / The Rats, etc, who died recently. His truth goes marching on!
Special thanks this month to Dirty Water Records (Pussycat, Baronen, Bee Bee Sea) and Beluga Records (Satan's Little Helpers, Why Oh Whys, Norris Experiment) for supplying a big chunk of the music this month
