The Langdon Auger Show
March 10th 2026
Featured Artists: Creed, Journey, The Parachute Club
Welcome to our March 10th show a day that will forever be indelibly stamped in my mind for many long years. A day before a birthday that has bitter sweet memories attached to it. A birthday of a lost love, that one true love that will be forever in my mind. Even though she hurt me more than anyone else has ever hurt me and I will never feel that kind of love again, i do hope she is doing well and wish her nothing but a happy wonderful life or what remains of it.
Archived from the Tuesday, March 10 broadcast, this Langdon Auger Show episode opens with Ward talking about Creed’s “With Arms Wide Open.” Between selections, he offers quick song notes and a memory from his time in Toronto. He thanks listeners near the end and introduces one last song.
About this episode
Ward explains how to request a song and join the live chat. Later, he welcomes Oliver, comments on the military-time clock, and says the show will run until 7 p.m. Before a song, he cues a comedy passage that he later identifies as Robin Williams talking about spring.
His recaps mention Journey’s “Separate Ways” and “Worlds Apart,” Dire Straits’ “So Far Away,” and Robert Plant’s “Big Log.” Later, Ward remembers seeing Mo Berg at Toronto’s Eaton Centre while he was out in Toronto for a few years. He ends by thanking listeners and announcing “Lunatic Fringe.”

Their 1999 album, Human Clay. That’s of course Creed, and “With Arms Wide Open.” Of course, lead singer Scott Stapp heard about his son coming and he had his doubts and his hopes and everything else. Quite an emotional song and quite a really good tune. [Timing uncertain.]

Definitely one of my favorite Robert Plant solo songs from The Principle of Moments. That is, of course, “Big Log.” Dire Straits in before that was “So Far Away.” We started that set off with Journey, “Separate Ways” and “Worlds Apart.” How are you doing? Oliver is now in the house. So now it’s an official show now. 5:17. I keep looking at that military time. Brain’s always trying to calculate. Have to remember to change that one of these days. But welcome to the show. It’s Tuesday, March 10th. And we are here until 7 p.m. And I want to thank everybody for tuning in. Let’s get back to it. We got some [Soldier Fire?] coming up. But first, this.

Voice of Lorraine Segato, but the collective works of The Parachute Club and “Rise Up,” big hit here in Canada in the ’80s. Another big hit of the ’80s is Dexys Midnight Runners and “Come On Eileen.” [Soldier Fire?] was in there as well with “Knocking on Heaven’s Door,” and we started it all off with Robin Williams telling us all about spring, which were only about 10 days away, believe it or not. Here we were in January going, “Oh, is it ever going to come?” Hey, it’s only like 10 days away. Let’s enjoy it, eh? Maybe it’ll be a good summer. What do you think? Let’s get back to the music once again. You’re listening to the Langdon Auger Show right here on mentalhealthradio.ca.

That’s, of course, Adam Ant and “Goody Two Shoes.” And did you know that Adam Ant also starred in a Northern Exposure show, one of their shows there? Yes, he starred as Brad Bonner, a lost rock star, and had a film done by Ed. So there you go, a little Northern Exposure trivia for you. In before that, Fleetwood Mac from their 1979 album that almost bankrupt them because it was following Rumours. And they brought out Tusk, and there was a lot of critical boos about the album. But I think it was a pretty good album. It just happened to be, Rumours happened to be the first album, right? And then Badfinger in there as well with “Come and Get It.” Welcome to the Langdon Auger Show, of course. We are almost quarter to six, so thanks for tuning in. We’re going to continue on with some music with Joe Jackson.
00:45:56

00:59:07
That’s, of course, Elton John and Kiki Dee with “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart.” And, of course, Kiki Dee is her professional name, but really her real name is Pauline Matthews. And she’s had quite a successful career as her own, of course, under the name Kiki Dee. Before that, we had some “Weird Al” Yankovic from his Poodle Hat album. And for those people who wanted to know if the accordion is a rock instrument, “Ode to the Superhero” answers that question. And started it all off with Joe Jackson and “Stepping Out.” Just about four minutes to six. So we’re going to play some more music. We got one more set of music before our dance portion. So that gives you lots of time to make sure you’re hydrated and stretched out. All right. So here we go. Let’s get this going.

Great song about being happy within yourself, because it doesn’t matter what your neighbor has. You know, we’re all the same. It doesn’t matter how you do it. That’s, of course, Styx and “The Grand Illusion.” In before that, from their War album, that’s U2 and “New Year’s Day,” a song written about the Polish Solidarity movement, believe it or not. And the Red Hot Chili Peppers started that set off with “Aeroplane.” Well, I think that was enough time for you to stretch it out and get things all hydrated. So we’re going to start our dance portion of the song. Not right away. We’ve got one song just before that, so make sure you’re hydrated and stretched out. Here we go.

I’m wondering what Slade’s “Run Runaway” is like on the accordion.
01:27:42
There you are. That’s from the East of Eden album, or East of Edson album. And, of course, that is Captain Tractor and “Lord of the Dance.” And before that, Billy Idol, “Dancing with Myself,” the Uptown Mix, a little extended version. And we started it all off with Damhnait Doyle and “Afterglow,” telling us all about it’s not such a great illusion standing up here and being an artist and trying to make a living. Kind of went in with the Styx tune we had just before that, isn’t it? How are you all doing? 25 minutes after 6. We’re almost done here. I want to thank you all for tuning in. But we’ve still got time for some more songs. And I know this one was asked for last week, I believe. And I finally found it and able to play it today. So hopefully you enjoy it. Dwight Yoakam.

Of course, The Pursuit of Happiness and “I’m an Adult Now.” Big album when I was out in Toronto for a few years there. Got to see Mo Berg wandering all over the Eaton Centre and everything else. Kind of cool. Harlequin went in before that with one of the most recognizable songs back in the day. And “Sweet Things in Life”. Dwight Yoakam started off with “Try Not to Look So Pretty.” And speaking of one of the most recognizable songs, which one is this?
01:40:24

01:50:12
Oh, that’s a three-peat of Canadiana there for you. Northern Pikes and “She Ain’t Pretty.” And if you’ve never seen the video, go check it out. It’s pretty funny. Helix in before that with “Rock You,” and Aldo Nova in “Fantasy.” That song is considered one of the earliest examples of hair metal or glam metal rock music. I’m just saying, that’s what we’ve heard. We don’t have much time left, so let’s get back to some music. How about some Johnny…
01:51:16

02:00:00
Almost the perfect definition of one-hit wonders. That’s out of New Zealand. That’s OMC, or the Otara Millionaires Club. And “How Bizarre.” Doug and the Slugs in before that with “Tom Cat Prowl,” Johnny Cash doing “Sunday Morning Coming Down.” Thanks, everybody, for tuning in today. Happy mental health to you. And hopefully we’ll see you all again tomorrow when we do the same thing at 5 o’clock Mountain Standard Time. Going to end the show with a little “Lunatic Fringe.”
