“As a remedy to life in society I would suggest the big city,” wrote French novelist Albert Camus.

“As a remedy to winter, I would suggest rock ‘n’ roll songs about cities,” says Mickey Bo.

So Mickey Bo’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Revue pays tribute to America’s cities at 6 p.m. ET (2300 UTC) today with tunes covering the USA coast to coast (except for the two listed in bold, which I’ll explain on air). Why, we even visit some cities twice! That’s how good they are.
