I have had occasion to befriend a few of some of the biggest in the industry, after which it is hard to relate to the passion coming from the "mash potato people". Your accounts of the events in Ontario reminded me of that passion that we have all had, prior to having it morph into something more meaningful, yet not as anxious, whether for The Kings or the girl next door. Well done, well written, thanks for taking me back to a younger time. Montana There is a certain mystique that goes with idolizing artists from afar.

Switchin' to Glide still airs at 5 on Fridays on the best radio station in Portland, OR. Great Band, Great People.....Long live The Kings! (yes, that IS a beer in my other hand).

Makes me wish I was a writer not a lowly DJ. I have played that magical Kings song on the radio hundreds --no make that thousands of times. Unlike countless other songs that play mindlessly in the speakers of the control room, waiting for another button push from the engineer to que up and ready the next song in another mind-numbing pre-programed set list handed to us by mindless Program Directors--The Beat Goes On/Switchin to Glide is one of those rare songs that ALWAYS makes me stop, turn up the control room speakers and immerse myself in the infectious magic that The Kings created.
