Fw: Behind the Music

Thu, 19 Apr 2001 16:20:13 -0700

Here's an email I sent to a classic rock station in Little Rock.  I don't know if it will help much or not, but I had to try after he kept gushing over Journey.  Also something to think about for you others that possibly listen to classic rock stations that won't play any of the Doobies new stuff.  I am tired of hearing people say..The Doobies are still around???  We have to get the word out.

Dear Kevin,
    It's your Doobie fanatic in Dardanelle checking in.  A few months ago I wrote and asked if you could play anything off the new Doobie Album, Sibling Rivalry.  You said you would check into it, but I got the idea if it wasn't classic it was not going to get played.  Being the fanatic that I am, I have to try again.  In the past couple of weeks I have heard you mention a couple of times that Journey has a great show on VH1's Behind The Music and that they have a new album coming out.  Guess what?  The Doobies also have a recent Behind The Music episode.  Now while I will admit I have never been as big of a fan of Journey as I am of the Doobies, I do like their music.  I do wonder though, if I listen to The Point, which is a classic rock station, how will I know if I like any of the new stuff off Journey's upcoming album?  So, while I was contemplating this and stewing over the fact that I wished you would mention the same about the Doobies I came upon an idea.  I know that Ordinary Man off of Sibling Rivalry is in the top 40 of the adult contemporary stations.  I know this from the fan club, not because I listen to an A/C station.  I like The Point.  However, wouldn't it be a great idea if Classic Rock stations, could occassionally play some of the new stuff that our classic rock groups put out?  I know that songs don't become classic overnight, but these groups deserve to have their new music played so that people know they are still out there rocking.  I wish the Doobies would come back to Little Rock and that The Point could sponsor the concert, then maybe I could even introduce my favorite DJ to my favorite group.  Below is a link showing the next dates that VH1 will be playing the Doobies episode.  I hope you get the chance to check it out.  I think you will really enjoy it.
 
 
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
