Yesterday on NBC Radio I played Led Zeppelin records because I’d decided I was going to play my own music for a day. It was fabulous! We played all sixties stuff: Hendrix, the Who, Stones. That’s what we wanted to do. Now, a lot of paranoid GMs would start worrying about, “Oh my God, it’s a Thursday, the day they mail out the diaries, etc… .” You don’t worry about that kind of crap if you’re really going to do personality radio.

Someone made this 90-minute South African township jive mix as an approximation of the tape Paul Simon heard in the spring of 1984, via Heidi Berg, that led to Graceland. The first comment on the YouTube page is from Heidi Berg herself and is worth a look. Please note, this is NOT the actual Berg-to-Simon tape–only one track is confirmed to be on both–but a what-if. A truly amazing what-if.
