A.G.E's Joint

 Hey, heidy and howdy! It's your old friend Harry Handy. You probably have wondered what the hell happened to me all these years. Well, it seems when you run an internet radio blog from the great beyond, you get in trouble with the corporate rights holders to the music. I've been silenced by the Borg. UMG music group took over WOFT.  But that's OK. Talk Radio is still good. I mean Stern has milked this format for years. And the political hacks... But I digress. I've missed all you Geritol guys and gals. Under the terms of my sent...er...settlement, I can't link music anymore. What's that you say? "Harry, what's the point of a radio blog if you can't play music?" It's a way to still stick to the man. This is do or die. What I am going to do is describe some of the things I wish I could link. Like the Finnish Rap Group "Cheers for Beers." It's a crappy four-channel animation with the typical theme of getting the girl in bed (pre...

Hit it This ain't no disco It ain't no country club, either This is the ATL “All I want to do is watch a show before I die” Says the man next to me out of nowhere It's apropos of nothing He says is name is Tyler , but I'm sure He's Michael or Thom or Dave . He's not even real to me And I wonder if he's ever watched TV in his entire life. We're drinking beer at four on a Sunday In a dive in the Bible Belt South across from the fishin' pond The good people heading to evening prayer After Sunday dinner naps Ready to sleep some more as the preacher drones On whether marriage is the grave and tomb of wit While they squirm in the hard pews, Wishin' they were in the eternal flame. After they go back to the blank screens Where Xfinity and Uverse cut the cable After the storm. All I wanna do is watch TV And all I see is a blank screen Things I have seen I can't see no more. All I wanna do...

Hey, Heidy and Howdy. It's Harry Handy again, here at WOFT, Old Farts Radio. 109.1 on your FM dial. And how are you lovely Geritol Gents this find spring afternoon?  Me? I'm just happy to be on the right side of the ground and spinning only the finest in golden notes. But to prove to you I am not just a dusty old fart, I have a special item for you.  It is funny how some things will come up. I was listening to this video by Lakestreet Dive, a delightful group of young folks out of Brooklyn. You can observe a lot just by watching. And it occurred to me that this group is the reincarnation of the old Scooby Doo (without the dog). The group: Consists of: Rachael Price as Daphne Bridget McKerney as Velma Mike Olson as Fred Mike Calabrese as Shaggy. Which, if you know a little history about the cartoon, kind of makes sense. The original concept for the show was a traveling band solving mysteries in a painted van. Now, I don't know if the band has a p...

Punk and anger Go together, As it were A generations rebellion Against all that Had come before. Jello, Siouxie, and Serj Yelling and screaming Telling What is wrong With the world. Bob, Joan and Pete Still said it better With more passion And fewer decibels. But the rebellion Is a phase We all become parodies Satire doesn't effect change. Only time does.
