Another four hour show that skipped around, highlighting shows coming to town by Smokey Robinson, Jason Isbell and The Old 97’s. Also, couple of previews of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction concert. Little mini-salutes to Merle Haggard and the Clash (Topper Headon’s birthday). And for outgoing White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, a big dose of his favorite band, who he introduced on stage at the Black Cat last weekend, Guided by Voices.
