Canadian Content: A Michael Bouyea Retrospective

In this episode, we celebrate the work of Michael Bouyea: singer-songwriter, Vietnam vet, and DJ. We start with two rippin' 1966 garage numbers by The Rogues, "Same All Over the World" and "The Original." In the 70s, he went pop! - and from this era we play "Just an Illusion" (sorta new wavey) and lost Canadian classic (he was livin' in Toronto), "The Fury." The latter is one of the jauntiest tunes ever put to wax. In 1985, it was a very good year for the Toronto Blue Jays, winning 99 games and inspiring MB to write and record "We Got the Blue Jays," which sneaks in the title of one of his great garage classics by The Squires, "Going All The Way," which we plan to do soon. He's the original!!
