The Kinks - Around the Dial (Official Audio)

As I posted last week, the Kinks released their final installment of their Journey series. The output from the 1980s doesn't get a lot of love. But here's a definite highlight from the latter end of their career, "Around the Dial" from Give the People What They Want.

This cut harkens back to the time when radio disc jockeys were a force in popular music.

Pay close attention to the radio chatter at the beginning of the cut. 

"By killing the pope, he'd become a hero in the Muslim world."

Try that today!

That bit is about that man who shot Pope John Paul II, Mehmet Ali Ağca, as is the song, "Killer's Eyes," which is also a track on Give the People What They Want.
