Ricki C. here: It’s not only musicians crafting quality ways to kill time during their stay-at-home Covid-19 Enforced Vacations: Pencil Storm contributor (and our favorite local D.J.) Brian Phillips of CD 102.5 has been posting links on his blog page - Mornings With Brian Phillips - to interesting and entertaining rock & roll and sports sites.

Here’s my favorite so far, a collection of videos from Rockpalast, an in-concert show that - as Brian details - has been running a mind-boggling 46 YEARS on German television…….

(by the way, here’s one of MY five favorite Rockpalast clips of all time that Brian reminded me of…….)

And - as always on the 102.5 website - check out Brian’s daily Trending Topics segments, easily the high point of my mornings, day-in, day-out. Sometimes in these Covid-19 ridden days & nights, Trending Topics is the only time I laugh out loud each day, at least until Trevor Noah comes on Comedy Central at 11 pm. Thank you, Brian & Trevor. - Ricki C. / April, 2020
