This week on RITY... For The Featured Five Theme, I'm playing songs that mention Christmas, but are not Christmas songs... A Stones song that's based in the American South, but inspired by the Caipira people of Brazil... Burton Cummings of The Guess Who shares the backstory behind "These Eyes"... A song by The Goo Goo Dolls that Johnny Rzeznik wrote about MTV VJ Kennedy... A rare tribute to Peanut Butter done by The J. Geils Band in the mid 70s... Levon Helm's response to an Elton John song that's named after him... A Top 40 hit inspired by a series of teen suicides in Pennsylvania during the early 80s... Deep cuts from John Prine, King Curtis, Willie Murphy & Jon Koerner, Hard Working Americans, and much more! For more info on the show, visit reelinwithryan.com
