Rock N Roll Manifesto 185: Evolution of Rockabilly
This show was a long time in the making, and the first time it aired it didn’t record, so I hope it was worth all the effort. Pretty simple concept- from hillbilly and rhythm records to the birth of rockabilly, … Continue reading →

Rock N Roll Manifesto 149: Celebrate Diversity

Rock N Roll Manifesto 138
I missed an opportunity to play “We Are 138″ by the Misfits tonight since this was Manifesto 138. Oh well. Live and learn. I did, however, play a set for North Korea and it’s threat of nuclear war, some red … Continue reading →
Rock N Roll Manifesto 137 (Sort of)
This most certainly is not the show that was broadcasted live on Wednesday night. Nope, that show was lost in the ether. This is just a reasonable facsimile. I hated the fact that people were waiting to hear a new … Continue reading →
