Teenage Kicks! Show tracks for Sat. Aug. 31/19

John Peel would have turned 80 on Friday, Aug. 30th. Since he is our idol here at Cowboys & Indies and a major influence on Scott & I starting this show 30 years ago, we pay tribute to the British radio icon. One of his lasting contributions to music is the 'Peel Session'. Tonight we will feature a selection of Peel Sessions as well as a handful of new releases and a couple LP Sessions. We open the broadcast just as John did so long ago by playing Teenage Kicks twice in a row, with actual audio from Sept. 25/1978. Happy Birthday John Peel, your legacy is still being felt today. This is a quote of his which holds true for me til this day.
