This week on Teenage Kicks, we’ll get a head start on the Saturday Theme — celebrating holiday music this week — with December classics from the ‘80s. We’ll also celebrate rock and roll birthdays for Paul Simonon of The Clash, Mike Watt, Billy Bragg, Keith Richards, and the Pogues' Shane McGowan, who was born on Christmas Day. We’ll also remember those we lost this year, and mark the anniversary of Dec 17, 1977, when Elvis Costello got himself banned from Saturday Night Live. It's a jam-packed Teenage Kicks this week!
