2pm: Rockin’ in the Days of Confusion
Rockin’ in the Days of Confusion is a weekly 60-minute show that revisits the golden age of rock radio (roughly the years 1968-76). Emphasis is on longer album tracks from a variety of then-emerging rock sub-genres, including hard rock, heavy metal, country-rock, jazz-rock fusion, folk-rock, art-rock and more experimental tracks that defy easy classification. As is the case with our companion show, Stuck in the Psychedelic Era, Rockin’ in the Days of Confusion has no pre-recorded jingles or liners. The Hermit’s commentary is kept to a minimum, with more detailed track information available at thehermitrambles.blogspot.com.
