David is wishing a “happy John Hiatt” birthday to Adam and pledges to be the 3rd Superfan to get him on the show, Adam got him on Loveline in 1997, I got him on the KLSX show in 2008 and now if David does it the trifecta will be complete, he would sound so good in that studio!
David is now playing something from Robert Plant as it’s also his birthday, he’s selected a cover of Arthur Alexander’s “If it’s really got to be this way”.
