So I&#8217;m back with something quite special. This is a chat with the one and only <a href=\"http:\/\/gregkihn.com\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\">Greg Kihn<\/a>, who&#8217;s back with &#8220;Rekihndled,&#8221; the first Greg Kihn Band record in over 20 years. <\/p>\n<p>Though he&#8217;s probably best known for his biggest hits <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VLFfSDEA26o\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;The Breakup Song&#8221;<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yAJNwPWVmNc\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Jeopardy&#8221;<\/a>, Greg&#8217;s been making great rock and roll for decades, and is particularly beloved here in his bay area home. Starting with his debut <a href=\"http:\/\/gregkihn.com\/blog\/music\/greg-kihn-band\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;The Greg Kihn Band&#8221;<\/a> in 1976, he regularly turned out practically an album a year, quite often with namesake-y titles like <a href=\"http:\/\/gregkihn.com\/blog\/music\/next-of-kihn\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Next of Kihn&#8221;<\/a> and &#8220;Rockinroll&#8221;, up through 1992&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/gregkihn.com\/blog\/music\/kihn-of-hearts\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Kihn of Hearts&#8221;<\/a> and two more acoustic-based albums, <a href=\"http:\/\/gregkihn.com\/blog\/music\/mutiny\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Mutiny&#8221;<\/a> (1994) and &#8220;Horror Show&#8221; (1996). His break from recording occurred when he took over the morning show on KFOX radio in San Jose back in 1996. <\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"236\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LssNygRTPJU?list=PL226wClMhBBxnRvX1FCbBb3uggWtERQbG\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/920x920.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/920x920-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"920x920\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-6771\" \/><\/a>Since leaving KFOX in 2012, Greg says &#8220;sleeping in now until 10am every day almost has me caught up on the sleep I lost doing KFOX, but I loved it&#8221;.
