RPGG Ep. 7 - Covers and Originals

This episode of Runka Punka Go Go our host, Kevin Steel, and guest host Kevin Michael Grace play a couple of versions of the same song and give our comments and opinions. The playlist includes The Byrds and Bob Dylan, Evie Sands and The Hollies, among others. But we start the show with a few words on a May 7 news story about Warner and Paramount teaming up to produce more music biopics. Good thing? Bad thing?. And we discuss Blue Dot Fever, the sudden cancellation of live music concerts everywhere.
