It’s a night of tributes this week; our theme is “MAD PROPS & NAME DROPS”. Nobody ever got where they are by themselves- we’ll be spinning tracks that artists write to honor their mentors, heroes, and inspirations. Bowie tipping his hat to Dylan, Gillian Welch to Elvis, Motorhead to the Ramones...and on and on. Well give respect where respect is due.
