Alternative Milestones

Alternative Milestones Episode 68 – Heading to Paradise!

Thu, May 15, 2025

Tomorrow I begin the journey to my favorite place on the planet.  My next 2 shows will be prerecorded.

But before that happens, I’ve got a show to do today.  And it’s a good one.

Milestone Birthday celebrations this week included U2, The Art of Noise, Greg Dulli and Nilufer Yanya.

It just so happens that I’ve got a milestone from Hawaiian singer/songwriter Jack Johnson.  There’s a double milestone from The Pretenders.  Other milestones being featured include Keane, Foals, The National, Radiohead, and Concrete Blonde.

And as if that’s not enough, there’s a Rush album release milestone too.
