Fiction Romance! Show tracks for Sat. Dec. 8/18

We paid tribute to Pete Shelley on the show. Selecting some tracks from The Buzzcocks as well as his solo work. A true punk pioneer! Known as the 'first sensitive punk', he wrote intelligent, gender neutral lyrics at a time when the scene was viewed as the exact opposite. His creations have stayed the test of time and still sound modern today. The true mark of a musical icon.
Our condolences to his family, friends, bandmates and fans. RIP Pete.

Today is also the anniversary of John Lennon's untimely death and also Jim Morrison's birthday. Jim would have been 75 today. The opening set is a short tribute marking the days importance in history.
