![]() ![]() ![]() It’s going to be hard to get things done around the house without Psychedelic Sunday.”Ī long-haul trucker named R.J. Many people used similar phrases to describe the loss they’re about to feel: They took to Twitter en masse, using the hashtag #ThankYouAndy, to express their dismay over the shuttering of Psychedelic Sunday and the imminent departure of Frost, 62, who is also known to hockey fans as a former public address announcer for the Maple Leafs. But judging from the reaction of shocked and dismayed listeners, Toronto Mayor John Tory among them, the news was a colossal bummer, man. Sunday’s show was the genial Frost’s last, as Q107 pursues a corporate plan to expand from its Baby Boomer base towards a more youthful audience. The show lasted three times longer than the decade it celebrates. ![]() That’s because Psychedelic Sunday, the popular Q107 classic rock program hosted by Andy Frost, has abruptly signed off after 33 years of exciting ears and expanding minds with Sunday-long servings of album tracks by Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Supertramp, Yes, Neil Young and other artists from rock’s headiest era, 1965-75. Rock ’n’ roll will never die - but as far as generations of Toronto radio listeners are concerned, it’s suddenly become a whole lot less psychedelic.
