This is a special episode. The Story of Rock and Roll turned Six. On 12 Dec 2017, the first-ever TSORR aired from the Mix 93.8 FM Studios in Midrand Johannesburg. Six years later to the day, S6E51 aired live on Rebel Rock Radio at 19h00 on 12 Dec 2023. The world has changed, and my life has changed so it is good to know that the music has not. The episode was a celebration of the bands and the songs that make the show what it is. Thank you all for your support, wherever you are and whoever you are I am deeply grateful for your support. I will continue to make sure that the show delivers the music that you have come to know it for years to come.
We skipped the Diabolical Challenge this week due to the birthday bash. There were just too many bands and songs to recognize. I had 9 hours of music (123 songs) that somehow ended up in a 3 hour 34 song show.
We made up for it with the Immortals feature where we needed the time. The number 2112 is sacred to the show so to celebrate the 6-year anniversary on the exact date the show started 12 December i.e. 21 12 we took a listen to the title track of Rush’s masterpiece ‘2112’
