Karl Ward - “Joe Belock”
“I just wanna ride my machine without being hassled by the man. I just wanna get loaded while I still can.” Do you wanna argue with these lyrics? We didn’t think so.
A song for WFMU DJ Joe Belock!
Joe Belock is the DJ for the radio show Three Chord Monte every Monday on WFMU. Tons of new rock, old rock, power pop, excursions into soul, blues, country. If you already listen to Three Chord Monte, you’ll get the many references to the show in the lyrics. Now GET OUT THERE AND RIDE YOUR MACHINE! Whatever your machine happens to be. That sounds weird when you put it like that.
WFMU station manager / DJ Ken Freedman called this song “The greatest song ever written about a WFMU DJ.”
