R. E. S. P. E. C. T.
R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Papa Lory It seems that some people become bothered by my love of The Beatles or classic rock music in general. I love classic rock music because it is the music I grew up listening to, plain and simple. It’s just like someone saying they love the ‘90’s music because that’s what they...
Chaos Theory (Abbreviated)
All throughout my tenure as Station Manager, I had a draft blog floating around called “Chaos Theory” and obviously it was never published. Well, guess what, here is my abbreviated version of it!

Remember back in August of 1981 when that new station featuring music videos premiered? Of course you don’t, most of you weren’t even a gleam in your daddy’s eye back then, but for those of us that do remember the birth of Music Television; we miss those days…a lot.

No. 75… and Counting
No, it’s not my age, so shut up! On March 13, 2015 (queue ominous Friday the 13th music), I will participate in something I never thought would happen: the 75th episode of Papa Lory’s Classic Rock Extravaganza on 91.7 FM, KEOL.
The Music Scene in the Midwest
It’s kind of a given that the East and West coast and the Southern states have a pretty killer music scene. In fact, a lot of bands find their start in Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, New York, Boston, Atlanta, Nashville and other large areas in the more trendy edges of the U.S. However, the oft overlooked music scene in the Mid-West is fairly strong in and of itself.
My Incredibly Biased Top 5 Female Vocal Artists
I strive to find ever unique voices when I listen to music. For some reason, the weirder the sound of the voice and more obscure the lyrics, the more likely I am to say “this song is pretty decent.” In this post I will be focusing on the wonderfully weird voices of my top 5 favorite female artists.
Let’s Jump
As I am writing this, I am sitting in a hotel room in Salem, waiting for our designated time to leave the hotel to head out to the state capital for the Oregon Student Association's rally
C.E.A.M. (I)
