All this and Brian Ham, on another action-packed episode of The Mac & Mike Show!

Piano rock, part II. How do you follow up an Elton John episode? With Billy Joel of course.

Clapton is God. While that mid-60s graffiti symbolized the beginnings of Clapton as a guitar legend, he has been many other things during his six decades in the music industry.

A complicated life and legacy for sure. As always, thanks for listening.

Sixty years and still going. The Who have influenced countless acts, and deserve a spot near the top of the British Invasion bands. Just where do they rank on that list?

No matter, there is lots to discuss, including the Pete Townsend windmill, The Kids Are Alright farewell tour, and that famous WKRP episode.
