More Oldies Radio (Blogophilia 16.5)


Another morning here at Moldy WOFT.  Yeah, Harry Handy back with you with another stream from the ether.  Ether?  Isn’t that what they were serving last night at the party?  Or was that Captain Morgan? God, I miss ‘Ludes….

Sorry, a bit of brain damage nostalgia, there.  You did notice I was kidding about that Terry Jacks song, right?  That’s OK.  We have plenty of oldies here in Beelzebub’s Crypt, otherwise known as Old Farts Radio to poke your memory.  The soundtrack of your later years.  If we were the soundtrack of your parents' later years, we would only play stuff like this.



But, I digress... Kids these days.  They are all about good grades and conforming.  No partying at all in them.  Of course, with the modern day internet anything you say or do is available to be used against you at anytime.  It doesn’t even have to be a court of law.  And if it is, the judges are obligated to throw the book at them.  They are all worried about right and wrong.  They should be worried about wrong and fun.  

Yeah, I am on a government kick again. Don’t vote.  It just encourages the bastards.    You know if the Government were a product, they would be illegal.  And they are never on your side.   All they know how to do is take your money, all the time they are thinking of this fabulous song…



Yeah, I was going down the road yesterday and there was this beautiful blonde.  Hair just flowing in the breeze. Sunglasses on.She had on a terry cover-up and the straps of her flowered swimsuit came up.  I bet you she smelled like Cocoa Butter and Daytona boardwalk.  Can you image that?




 Or maybe you should dream about pirates.



Forty?  Dang, that was a long time ago.  I wonder what a 60 year old pirate looks at.  Maybe a Land Boat?   Surf and Turf?   Who knows.    Until next time…

    "Don't vote - it just encourages them" - this topic really does want to pull me into a political rant. I applaud the way you handled it.

      I just started reading that book. It is a wonderful update on The Parliament of Whores.

    I'm enjoying your radio station, I wish I could find it on my dial. I had a friend in high school who could play Classical Gas, he went on to become a professional musician. I see you decided to pass on the champagne bottles also - hehe.

      I remember that being on heavy rotation when I was in 10th grade. It got to where I wanted to shoot my radio.

In Honor of Al Jaffee

Image
The image below is probably the most politically incorrect graphic the great comic artist Al Jaffee ever produced. Originally published in a special issue of MAD magazine in 1971, it brought protests for its seeming disrespectful tone. It even launched a brief FBI investigation into possible political subversion.  So, why am I bringing it up? 2 reasons. First, Mr. Jaffee just celebrated his 95th birthday. Second, In all of the turmoil of the Election, it is important that the pledge be for all people. Not just the moneyed elite. More importantly, to weed out infection the poisons of bigotry by all people need to be aired. Burying thoughts and ideas through euphemisms and language discussion allow the opinions to fester. The quote "Just because you silence a man does not mean you convert him" very much applies. Donald Trump has made efforts to silence his critics. His critics have made a double effort to silence. him. And nothing gets done.

The Date (Blogophilia 13.5)

So, here she was at Manuel’s, her usual fifteen minutes early.   A quick glance to make sure the lipstick line was still straight.   Satisfied, the compact disappeared into the leather purse.   Kari hadn’t been this nervous meeting anyone in quite a long time.   But then, it had been at least 20 years since she had been on a blind date.   What will he look like?   All Mary told her was he was a bachelor with a paying job and no kids.    Nothing about how old, or whether he was a slob or a crackhead.   Not even the guy’s name.   Only that she thought Kari would enjoy his company.     Just be at there at 5:30. Sipping on her gimlet, it seemed like she had never left.   The Musak was mostly Sinatra and the political types still hung to their tables like they were still in high school.   Tony, the manager, gave her a peck when he saw her and said she could come back to work any time.   No.   She’d had enough of slinging swill and dealing with the obnoxious, of stepping over the hoo

Mr. Rogers (GBE 2 101)

Yes, you know him. Overall one of the most recognizable faces on television ever.  But also the operator of one of the most subtle and effective Christian ministries ever.  It all was predicated on this passage: The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." Mark 12:31 And Fred said. "Won't you be my neighbor?" Yes.  Yes, I will.
