The Langdon Auger Show
March 30th 2026
Featured Artists: Roy Rodgers, Jann Arden, Everlast
Have you ever had one of those days, weeks etc where you feel like you are not in control of your own life? todays show is all about that, it does seem that people decide I am one of those peons that they can just use and abuse and I have no idea why. Roy Rodgers starts the show with his classic “Don’t Fence Me In” and one of Canada’s songbird Jann Arden says it perfect with her song “Insensitive” because others just treat you like your below them. I really do not like that feeling and when you respond, they turn it around and try to make you feel like your the bad guy. Why? People walk around all the time and not caring about anyone or anybody’s feeling and it really bothers me. It gets me down and then I internalize it and that is not good for me, yes you feel all powerful by treating people like crap but do you realize what it does to them? Everlast says it all with their song “What It’s Like”
In this archived March 30 Langdon Auger Show, Ward follows Jann Arden’s “Insensitive” with a few thoughts about honesty and how people interpret words. He questions a Canned Heat song listing, introduces a recorded Johnny Carson segment on ego, and gets ready for the dance portion. Between sets, he thanks listeners and explains a change to that week’s broadcasts.
About this episode
Ward says some people call him insensitive; he thinks of himself as honest and says it depends on who's interpreting the English language. He suspects the Canned Heat song listed as “Going Up the Country” is mislabeled and says he'll check.
The music moves from Roy Rogers and Jann Arden through Gino Vannelli. Ward cues Chantal Kreviazuk before the dance portion and later recaps Dead or Alive and King Harvest. He also identifies a recorded Johnny Carson segment on ego. In this broadcast, he explains that a meeting would keep him off the air on Tuesday and that he planned to return on Wednesday.

Oh, taking you back [unclear] a whole bunch of years, of course. That is Roy Rogers and “Don't Fence Me In.” How y'all doing? It's the Langdon Auger Show right here on mentalhealthradio.ca. It's our Monday show, and it is the 30th of March. The month is almost gone, it's flown by. We're heading into April, so welcome to it. Thanks for tuning in.
00:03:06
I want to thank everybody for your support over the past four plus years. We are heading into a summertime that I'm hoping is going to be a very nice summertime. And I hope it's a very nice summertime where you're tuning in from as well. So let's get to some music.
00:03:22
If you don't know how things work here, I play some music, I do a little bit of chit-chatting. [Timing uncertain.] We have a live chat over here, where you can enter your username. Make sure you save it. Come on down, request a song, or just chit-chat. Nothing else, just music, and hopefully some good chit-chat. Sit back and enjoy this one. Canned Heat.

Beautiful songbirds, of course. That's Jann Arden and “Insensitive,” and a lot of people say I'm insensitive. I just like to think of it as being honest. So it depends, you know. The English language, it's so in and out, shall we say. It depends on who's interpreting it.
And before that, the Electric Light Orchestra and “Strange Magic” started off with Canned Heat from Woodstock and “Going Up the Country,” although I believe that is mislabeled. I don't think that was “Going Up the Country,” but I have to go by what it says here in front of me. [Timing uncertain.] That's it. I'll have to check that one out.
But welcome to the show. Of course, this is mentalhealthradio.ca, and you're listening to The Langdon Auger Show. Thanks for tuning in. It's almost quarter after five, so let's get back to some music.
00:15:22
[Audio not transcribed.]
00:28:09
Featuring Kate Pierson of the B-52s and “Shiny Happy People.” In before that, Alannah Myles from her self-titled album, and that is “Black Velvet.” Everlast started off that set with “What It's Like.”
It's almost half hour into the show. Time goes by real quick, doesn't it? Welcome to the Monday show here on The Langdon Auger Show, and I want to thank you all for your support and tuning in. We're going to get back to the music right now with some Crystal Gayle.
00:28:37
[Interlude or untranscribed audio.]
00:40:00
[Timing uncertain.] That is, of course, The Cars with “Touch and Go.” Fleetwood Mac in before that with “Tusk.” We also heard from Johnny Carson on ego, and we started that whole set off with Crystal Gayle. “Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue.”
Twenty minutes now before six o'clock. Thanks again for everybody tuning in. Hopefully you're enjoying the show and enjoying the music that's being played. If not, let me know here down at the live chat. Tell me you'd like to hear a song, and if I have it, I'll play it. Let's continue on. I'm going to start this set off with a couple of Canadian artists, including Gino Vannelli.
00:40:46
[Audio not transcribed.]
00:51:30
Jeff Healey Band in before that with “Stuck in the Middle with You.” Of course, that's the Stealers Wheel song, and he had a 1995 album, “Cover to Cover,” where he did lots of great covers. Unfortunately, we lost Jeff Healey in 2008 from a rare form of cancer, and he is still missed to this day.
Gino Vannelli in before that with “Black Cars.” We are just about eight minutes to the hour of six o'clock, so thanks for tuning in, everybody. We got lots of music going here. We're here all the way until 7 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. So let's get it going with some Aerosmith.
00:52:06
[Audio not transcribed.]
01:03:23
This is Canada's very own Bachman-Turner Overdrive, or BTO, depending on your lifestyle and who you believe, with “Roll On Down the Highway.” We had Def Leppard in there as well with “Bringing On the Heartache.” And Aerosmith started off that set with some “Sweet Emotion.”
Three minutes after six, which means, guess what? It's time for the dance portion of the show. Thank you all for tuning in. Nice to see Oliver has made it. And he's still having a little bit of problems there, but hopefully he can listen to this. This is our dance portion of the show, and it comes up right after some Chantal Kreviazuk.
01:04:00
[Audio not transcribed.]
01:13:09
Of the 70s, of course, that is King Harvest with “Dancing in the Moonlight,” and before that our dance portion of the show: Dead or Alive and “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record).” And we start that set off with Chantal Kreviazuk and “Dear Life.” Thirteen minutes after six now, thanks again for tuning in. Hopefully Oliver's got his problem figured out. We'll continue playing music.
We're not going to be here for tomorrow night's show. Unfortunately, I have a meeting, so there is no Tuesday show here on The Langdon Auger Show, but we'll be back Wednesday at our regular time, 5 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, or as Oliver likes to say, 8:30 in Newfoundland. And, uh, but now we're going to…
01:13:50
Continue on with the music. [Song vocals omitted from this mixed segment.]
01:14:09
[Interlude or untranscribed audio.]
01:24:47
Featuring Blake Shelton and Hunter Hayes, of course, that is the Doobie Brothers from their 2014 album, “Southbound,” and we heard “Listen to the Music,” and what they did with this album is they just brought in a whole bunch of guests and they played a lot of their old Doobie stuff, uh, reinvigorated, I suppose, would be the best word to use.
Alan Jackson in before that with “Mercury Blues,” and we started it off with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and “Fishing in the Dark.” Twenty-five minutes after six, thanks again for tuning in. Sorry if you have any, any issues out there. I have no control over that, but I will put a ticket in and see if there's an issue there, either on our end or maybe it is the server. But we'll find out, we'll let you know. We're going to kick it up just a notch with a little Santana.
01:25:35
[Audio not transcribed.]
01:35:00
Adam Sandler, Brendan Fraser, Chris Farley, Joe Mantegna, and Steve Buscemi. If you've never seen that movie, it's actually kind of fun. [Timing uncertain because the source segment spans several minutes.]
That's Candlebox, “Can't Give In.” Alice in Chains in before that, and “Heaven Beside You,” and we start it all off with Santana, with a little help from Mr. Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty and “Smooth.” We've got about 25 minutes left in the show.
Thanks, everybody, for tuning in. We've been talking about this gentleman now for the last couple of weeks here in the chat and about what a great voice he was, and how much different his voice is compared to the character he played on TV for all those years. I mean, from Gomer Pyle to this.
01:38:50
[Interlude or untranscribed audio.]
01:49:04
Here's Cheap Trick. Great tune. That is “Voices.” In before that, one of Canada's best voices out there from Toronto. That's Margo Timmins and the Cowboy Junkies from “The Trinity Session,” 1988. And you can almost smell the patchouli every time a song by them comes on. They were an amazing band.
And, of course, Jim Nabors in before that, doing the Gilbert O'Sullivan song, “Alone Again (Naturally).” We only got about ten minutes left in the show, so we're going to get to our next set, but we'll come back and say our goodbyes after this set.
01:50:00
[Interlude or untranscribed audio.]
02:00:02
Great tune from their live album in 2011, as, of course, Green Day, “Wake Me When September Ends.” And that's when retirement starts for me. September ending. Yay. Blind Melon in before that with “Tones of Home,” and, of course, Natalie Imbruglia in there with “Torn.”
That's it for me today. I want to thank everybody for tuning in. Thank you very much. Appreciate the support. Don't forget, there is no show tomorrow. The next show will be Wednesday, 5 p.m. till 7 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. I invite you to come by and listen in. Happy mental health to you today. We're going to end with a great tune from Leonard Cohen. Have yourself a good day.
