@tim--yes. She's filed lawsuits over the years about the original being used in trailers and shows without her permission, even though she doesn't own it and is not the songwriter. And those legal issues are why its not streaming. So she re-recorded it in 2020 to get some cash.

And you my love, won't you take my hand?
We'll go back in time to that mystic land
Where the dew drops cry and the cats meow
I will take you there, I will show you how

"The Majesty of Rock" sounds best when cranked out of the tape deck of a 1980 Olds Cutlass Supreme.

efd, thanks for announcing K8's benefit show last week. They raised around $1500 for the National Network of Abortion Funds. Hopefully that's enough to buy a Supreme Court justice or two. Thanks for the signal boost!

Show was excellent, too, and WFMU listeners were representing!
