Denny Somach Stirs It Up

With TV's "Mythbusters" on across the room - I had the laptop next to me tonight and took a quick glance at this site's visitor stats.

Looking at the "keywords" typed into Google and Yahoo that brought visitors here, I noticed a large number of queries for one-time WYSP/Philadelphia programmer Denny Somach. Denny has been mentioned here before - but why the big surge in interest?

Doing a fast web search - it turns out Mr. Somach was on the Howard Stern Show this morning to discuss - and give examples of alleged "blatant plagiarism" by the mighty Led Zeppelin. Lots of examples.

Read more on Led Zeppelin's "borrowing" as part of "The Cold Cases of Rock & Roll" on Denny's website here.

There's a lot of interest in this - given the search engine referrals.

Denny Somach: The Legend Continues

Denny Somach - one time WYSP/Philadelphia programmer - but better known nationally as producer of syndicated and network radio programming has now opened his vault of thousands of hours of interviews and radio specials - free to the world - to the world via Classic Rock Central. The site also has music and artist news and promises new interviews too.

I recall running some of Denny's programming via NBC's Source Radio Network back in the 80s.

There's lots to read - lots to listen to...spend some time there when you can.
