This week's show was produced during Hurricane Sandy's collision with the east coast, both WBAI & WPKN were knocked off the air so this special episode was produced in my studio on the upper west side which luckily had power. This "Stormy Shortcut" includes sound and fury from Hurricane Sandy mixed with music from the Wizard of Oz, King Kong, Ella Fitzgerald, Neil Young, Duke Ellington, the Beatles, Harry Belafonte, Peter Gabriel & Robert Fripp, Lena Horne, Creedance Clearwater, Ray Charles, Peter, Paul & Mary, Kevin So, Moondog, Dinah Washington, Brothers & Sistes and featuring New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, Barack Obama, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, meteorologist Jim Cantore, George Clooney, Elmo, Humphrey Bogart, Edward G. Robinson, David Letterman, Dr. Victor Frankenstein, Lionel Barrymore and the voices of various challenged residents and first responders from the tri-state area. We've also included some rare audio from a Clearwater Rainout mix during a festival shutdown in 2007.
The second hour includes a classic Shortcut from 1974 (the last fuel shortage) and ends with a brand new Neil Young song.
