I think it's only happened twice...  a fave radio-station inexplicably changes its format.  That's unforgivable. 

Somebody has the master-tapes.  You gotta keep goin' back and back to youtube, at least.  Tunes will eventually reappear if the copyrights are cleared.

What it really amounted to was partisan politics.

Thayrone was openly conservative using lines like "the People's Republic of Ann Arbor," and so on. He's appeared many times on conservative talk radio Ann Arbor station WAAM, and is not exactly shy about getting into a liberal's face.

At the mike at WEMU, he had rock-solid taste in music selections and a fully-loaded closet of shtick to lay on the listeners...but he also had leftist NPR on his case, demanding WEMU carry ALL scheduled news broadcasts. To simplify, Thayrone lost.

Here's a 2010 speech he made in Ann Arbor on the U of M Diag (center of campus). It's about the Tea Party, the Democrats, and what we can and should do about fixing what liberals broke.

Great video clip, quiller.  Thanks for sharing it with us.

It's always nice to get a good pep talk!!

Good-sized crowd.  Great talk.  I haven't been on the Diag for a few years... waning interest in the Art Fair.  There are pockets of conservative-thinkers in the environs, that won't go-away because of non-conformity in tandem with common-sense.

BTO is probably the most under rated band in music history.
They literally changed the direction of Rock when they came on the scene, and have yet to be recognized for their accomplishment.
I still hear their sound in today's rock.

They filled the beer-metal niche for frats when they arrived, plus once and for all redefining Canadian-pop away from the Anne Murray/eastern seaboard minstrel schlock.

And they were basically still the Guess Who, without Burton Cummings (lead vocals and keyboards).

I missed out on that one. I was in boot camp. Didn't even know about it until that August.

I can see what you mean about Guess Who similarities, particularly in the "advanced garage-band" sound they did in this song below. (Primitive drumming, not-too-tricky chord changes, and yet VERY effective overall, something the average two-singer band could rip off without much trouble.)

Good recall. I too remember everything that came oot of Canada seemed to be packaged in a sugary sweet maple syrup bottle.
