Here’s a quick rundown of the songs played:
The Rolling Stones – Gimme Shelter
Metric – Gimme Sympathy
Red Hot Chili Peppers – Dani California
SnappleMan – I Could Be Banned Soon Trigger
Sammy Hagar – I Can’t Drive 55
Super Secret Preview Song – Kemiroch
And since I promised I would look it up, Merry Clayton from Gimme Shelter has also performed background vocals for “ Ray Charles (as one of the Raelettes), Pearl Bailey, Phil Ochs, Burt Bacharach, Tom Jones, Joe Cocker, Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, and on several tracks from Neil Young‘s debut album” (via Wikipedia). She has a handful of solo albums as well.
As for my next stream, I’m not sure at the moment. My weekend is up in the air but I do have tomorrow off. Perhaps something then? Otherwise I’ll try and squeeze it in this weekend.

Is this the one singing “rape, murder, it’s just a shot away”? ‘Cause her scream during that song is incredibly daunting. Shivers every time.

Yes. Even more chilling: she was pregnant at the time she performed her vocals for the song, and miscarried after returning home. Speculation is that the exertion of the singing was what caused it.

All these and more uplifting facts on Rocking With Kem!
September 28, 2016 at 5:40 pm #475504Goodness. I couldn’t imagine that conversation with the doctor.
September 29, 2016 at 2:55 am #475522Gosh Kem, I totally forgot that you mentioned that you would find out more about Merry Clayton. Obviously you are a man of your word. Thanks for looking into it. Yeah, Merry definitely puts a certain “umphh” into that groove,.. such a powerful backing vocal, she rocks it really well. I can see how so many iconic artists would want to work with her. Simply awesome.
I guess with wiki and all the instantly accessible info one can get on the net. We could’a just looked it up for ourselves……..I dunno, to me…it just sounds waaayyy cooler to say “I heard about that on an episode of ‘Rocking with Kem’. Got a ring to it, know what I’m sayin’? I don’t know if you’re old enough to remember or know about Casey Kassem’s American Top 40……dude always had nice tasty tidbits of trivia about artist or song before or after he would play the song. I ate that stuff up. I can see the very same thing goin’ on with what you envision for your stream, just about anything and everything to do with RB3 and customs.
As far as streaming tomorrow, I’ve set up camp in front of the ‘House of Customs’…….but I guess I can jump back and forth between your stream and the ‘House’….
Keep us posted as to what goes down, K ? ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />
October 1, 2016 at 7:51 pm #475669So I’m going to try doing another stream at 4pm EST tomorrow, Sunday October 2nd.
Hopefully someone can make it ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” /> The topics I cover will probably depend upon who shows up.
October 2, 2016 at 6:32 pm #475714Sorry guys. It looks like I’m going to have to postpone stream 2. A family event has come up.
I may experiment with a weekday. Does Wednesday 7pm EST sound good to anyone?
Someday I will get a regular day going
October 2, 2016 at 9:02 pm #475720I’ll be at college at that time so I won’t be able to attend.
October 3, 2016 at 4:17 pm #475733Dawgonit, that’s a tough one for us too….sorry.
October 3, 2016 at 7:00 pm #475738OK well… is there another weekday that works for you guys? Fridays are pretty much out.
Otherwise I’ll continue trying for my Saturday slot. I can already tell you that this coming Saturday is not going to work. Another family thing.
Man this is hard ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_frown.gif” />
October 3, 2016 at 7:41 pm #475739Any day that isn’t Monday or Wednesday.
October 4, 2016 at 5:30 am #475775Any day that isn’t Monday or Wednesday.
Ironic, but I totally agree that Monday or Wednesday don’t work out.
It’s no problem waiting for our next episode of Rocking with Kem. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />

Hm. Must’ve missed the irony part.

Don’t mind Housequake’s misuse of the word, Banshee. I believe she was just trying to convey that it was a happy coincidence that the days which don’t work for you are the very same days that don’t work for us. So in essence, when it comes to the headache of getting everyone’s schedule to coordinate, well it wasn’t the pain in the ass she was expecting it to be. Let’s hope it can work smoothly for Kem too. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />
And Kem, I hope you don’t feel like you’re pressured into doing these all the time. When it works best for you should be the main priority. Hell, I’d be happy to see these once every other month if that’s what it came to. Like Housequake says, ‘It’s not a problem to wait’
October 12, 2016 at 12:24 pm #476190I should be able to return to my “normal” stream day this weekend. I might move it up to 2pm EST though, since the first one went a little longer than I had anticipated.
