Shaun! So much to say! This mix has some of my favorite songs. Does that mean I’m crazy since they are all about insanity? From classic Hendrix, a new discovery of a great Kinks song, the ominous Madman Across the Water!!!, the iconically significant Doors “The End”, personal love DMB, Bowie, Sabbath, Floyd, and the always relevant “Insane in the Brain”. It’s a heavy hitter. Standing O for you my friend!

this was an interesting one! very well thought out, but with more “wildcards” in terms of songs i really liked…..as always, you are genius, but this one will take a few more listens on my part!
