How Right-Wingnuts destroy friendships
|
| |
I saw this on another newsgroup. It was written in 2006:
How The Wingnuts Destroyed My Best Friend
by NickM
Dan and I first became friends back in Indian Guides (a non-PC version
of
the Cub Scouts for first and second graders) back in 1975 when I we
were 6
years old or thereabouts. We remained friends after that for more... more »

PBS--Ed Sullivan's 60s Rock
|
| |
Given the track record of shows of this type, I was not expecting very
much from this show, but was quite pleasantly surprised by the depth
of display and presentation.
Like most folks my age, watching the Ed Sullivan Show was a must every
Sunday night. I had forgotten how many Rock acts he had on his... more »

New (for me) JFK Assassination audio on my Podbean page
|
| |
...my annual commemoration of the tragedy of November 22, 1963, this
year contains a new (but just slight) edit of my Echoes of a Century
program from five years ago; the Voice of America (in English and
Polish) conveying the news to a European audience; and local coverage
from WCCO in Minneapolis. [link] is where it's... more »

On a variation of Desert Island Disks, if you were on a deserted
island, but could have two songs, two movies, and any episode from two
TV shows, what would they be?
I'll go first:
Songs:
"Satisfaction", "She Loves You"
Movies:
"National Lampoon's Vacation", "Field Of Dreams"... more »

When October Goes
|
| |
...there are only three songs that can still move me to tears: Harry
Chapin's "A Better Place to Be," the version of Eric Bogle's "And the
Band Played 'Waltzing Matilda'" that John McDermott performs, and
this
one. Of course, when working with a Johnny Mercer lyric, it's pretty
hard to miss the mark...... more »

Soupy
|
| |
I watched Soupy from his Lunchtime program to his Friday night
program to his daily program on WNEW-Tv, channel 5 out of NYC. From
1964-1966, my sister and I(we were in late junior high and early high
school) watched his show every afternoon. We laughed until our sides
hurt at all his routines, the various characters knocking on his... more »

Studs Terkel and Phil Ochs converse on my podcast page
|
| |
...many moons back I promised Jim Beaver that I'd put this thing up
on
my podcast page if I ever found it -- and, just today, I did just
that. It's an mp3 of a KPFT Houston aircheck of two of my favourite
wordsmiths, Studs Terkel and Phil Ochs, on Studs' WFMT Chicago
program
in the Spring of 1971, after Phil's GREATEST HITS album (it was a gag... more »

Janis Joplin

She died 39 years ago today, and with her death she took a little
piece of our hearts.

Mary Travers
|
| |
I grew up in Danbury CT which is a stone's throw from Mary's home in
Redding (also home to Mark Twain's final
home, "Stormfield"). When I was in high school, Mary agreed to be
interviewed by two of my classmates for our school
newspaper...an event they still remember fondly.
Recently, I heard from another classmate about how he often saw Mary... more »
