Kudos to the KSHE DJ who took the time to appreciate Fleetwood Mac's Danny Kirwan this morning. After playing "Bare Trees," the DJ mentioned that Kirwan played guitar on the track and that, due to his superior musicianship, he'd joined Fleetwood Mac at age 18. Although I'd already known this from reading multiple books on and watching various documentaries about the band, I appreciated the DJ taking the time to talk about some of the band's history. That doesn't happen as much as it used to on most other stations; in fact, on most stations, you're lucky to hear the DJ mention the title and artist of a song.
On any music station, there should always be some element of historical context; too often, however, there isn't.
