Monday marked the 39th anniversary of the release of Tango in the Night by Fleetwood Mac. This was their 14th album and the last one made by the “classic” lineup of the band, featuring John and Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, and Mick Fleetwood. We featured a song that Lindsey sings, one from Stevie, and one from Christine. “Big Love”, “Seven Wonders”, and “Everywhere” respectively.

Dire Straits was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame back in 2018 on this day. We played some Straits songs and discussed 2026’s Hall of Fame inductees, including Phil Collins (solo), Iron Maiden, and Billy Idol.

Wednesday was Tax Day. Boooooooooooooooooooo. It did give us an opportunity to play some songs about taxes or finances, though. AC/DC’s “Monkeytalks” was on the list, of course. We also played The Beatles’s “Taxman” and Steve Miller’s “Take The Money and Run.”

We celebrated the 30th anniversary of KISS reuniting. They initially did so in full makeup at the Grammys in 1996. As punishment for some work crimes I committed earlier this week, the boss forced me to play “Lick It Up”, which is my least favorite song of theirs based on the title alone. We did play some songs I like, though, but I won’t name them here. Mostly because I didn’t write them down and forgot.

Maynard James Keenan turned 62, so we played Tool and A Perfect Circle. Unfortunately the boss wouldn’t let me plug in any Puscifer. He was probably still upset with my previously mentioned work crimes. Donna is a huge fan of Keenan, so I’m happy we got to play something for her. I grew up with Tool and A Perfect Circle playing on the radio, but I never really got into them until recently. It’s been nice revisiting stuff from my childhood and giving it another listen. Feels like an entirely different band. Maybe it’s because I’m an entirely different person now.
