Harry's Odd Assoiciation (Blogophilia 12.9)

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 paisley Mystery Machine, but it would be cool if they did.

The band uses the tried and true method of putting the hot chick in front and the brainy one in the back It helps that Rachael has the chops to back it up.


And if you think I'm just a dirty old man dreaming...well, you're right. I'd spin those disks all night Just me, Ben Gay, and Vi Agra, if you know what I mean. And we wouldn't need a dog to keep us company.  But we shouldn't keep the eye candy and a good set of pipes just for the men, so here you go, Ladies...



Now, the guy on the left looks like he could flip a tabor with Rachael on top and catch her on the way down, then eat a whole haggis when he got finished. Even a red blood male can appreciate good form.

I think I'll finish up on this note, I've found my funeral song. It's proof even the ancient Dudelsack can be used in modern times. Burn it all down!




Until next time, keep the Geritol dreams coming. And don't get tripped up by those meddling kids.

    Those are some excellent dancers on the Dropkick Murphys video. I kind of enjoyed the song, but I could not understand a word that fellow was singing. Maybe it's just me.

    This was rather brilliant, I loved it. Never heard of Lake Street Drive before, but I like their sound. Love the middle Scottish video, of course, and always the Dropkick Murphys.

    And this will be my funeral song :)

    Thinking about it, that kind of makes sense. That explains why Shaggy and Scooby always had the munchies. They were in the band. :)

In Honor of Al Jaffee

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
