Andy Kim’s “Rock Me Gently” Now 50-Years-Old!

Hamilton Today with Scott Thompson

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson:

We look at the ongoing fallout from the Pearson Airport Gold Heist, as a sixth arrest is made. Andy Kim's "Rock Me Gently" is marking a major milestone, as it celebrates its 50th anniversary. We are joined by Andy Kim! According to The Toronto Star “After more than a week, the Loblaw boycott doesn’t appear to have made a dent in the grocery chain’s sales, according to a group of suppliers. A surprisingly strong April jobs report is likely to “raise eyebrows” at the Bank of Canada, with economists and markets split on when interest rate cuts could begin. After a lengthy debate, Hamilton City Council has agreed to extend development fee discounts to developers for another eight years, at which time they will be phased out. Rex Murphy, the longtime former CBC pundit and National Post columnist, has died of cancer at the age of 77. We look at his impact on the Canadian journalism landscape. Business and legal troubles follow the stars around just as much as anyone else, and that’s one reason why educators can make use of the public’s fascination with celebrities, as teaching tools. It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast!
