Thread: Lou Christie Specials on XM

Did anyone listen to the Lou Christie special? I was only able to listen to part of the show which I recorded. I hope to listen to the rest today.

I still remember the Gene Pitney special on XM 60s on 6. Quality program. "Specials" seem so out-of-place in the Time-Life, Sickius-error. (er, era).

Very strange. Lou Christie introduces a Ronettes song and then is gone. Not at top of the hour but about 10:52 Eastern. Must have been a taped show that didn't take the entire hour. Very unprofessional, however.

Once again it's back to the "Cousin Brucie can do no wrong" category. If Lou had been doing these specials on his own on XM prior to the merger they wouldn't happen now. But since Brucie got him started it's bound to be a sure winner. Don't get me wrong... I'm totally looking forward to this. I just hate how with this company it's all about the celebrity status making for good listening now.

Good show. It didn't take up the full hour,much like his summer special that aired Labor Day weekend. Shows like this remind me of how good the 60s used to be,when we had wide playlists,specialty shows and an unpredictable air about it. We hear shows like Brucies that play lesser known songs and Bruce even says how nice it is to play songs that aren't played all the time. Its too bad the only time we get to hear the lesser hits are...

It didn't take the full hour huh? 52 minutes or so? Gee, what does THAT leave room for down the road perhaps? That certainly fits the theory that SiriusXM will eventually make a few channels "free" for all radios, but with "limited" commercials. I wouldn't be surprised if that's a move they're at least giving some consideration to. Has Mel ever been asked that question in a conference...
