If I log in and comment now and start listening now, hopefully I will still be listening when the program starts at 1 ET.

Good move WR - it is advised that all travelers arrive at the airport early. Only i won't make you take off your shoes.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:01pm
WR:

Seat and seat table in upright position, belt fastened. Shoes off (comfort choice). Electronic devices in take off mode.

Welcome aboard. We first will be looking for America. Has anyone seen it? I swear I just left it here...

"America"? That's a little vague. Do you have a more detailed description of what you've lost?

Anyone ever gone up up and away in a hot-air balloon? Been looking into it. Looks pretty cool.

That Baltimore song reminds me of the John Waters exhibit i have yet to catch:

"I Don't Know How To Love Him" from "Jesus Christ Superstar." As you may have noticed. We're in a "rock opera" mood here.

Didn't Claudine Longet shoot her boyfriend, or something like that?
Avatar 👻 1:38pm
Mr Fab:

↳ WM @1:36
Sadly, i believe that's true. A fact i was blissfully unaware of when I started finding her records. I thought she had the most lovely soothing voice ever. But nothing too soothing about getting shot. She's innocent, innocent I say!
Avatar 👻 1:42pm
Mr Fab:

I saw Don Ho, and met him on my honeymoon!
  1:44pm
WM:

Yes... Claudine Longet was married to Andy Williams. They divorced and she took up with an Olympic skier, Vladimir Sabich. She shot and killed him. Yet, Andy Willimas was apparently still sympathetic to his ex-wife and hired some expensive lawyers to get her off a small fine and minimum sentence. She almost literally got away with murder. Think of that when you look at those photos of her innocent face.

some Japanese monster movie action now. This singer is performing in a tiki bar before one of the Gargantuas busts up the place.

Years ago I heard Devo at the Bottom Line in NYC and they played The Words Get Stuck In My Throat as an encore.
Avatar 👻 1:50pm

↳ WM @1:48
Their version is on one of their comps. Good version! Alas, despite having seeing Devo a few times, I've never seen them play it.

Good response!

shucks, stepped away for a few minutes and missed The Peanuts.

WM:

Years before I attended the Devo concert, some of my friends and I were watching late night TV. War of the Gargantuas was on and we tuned in to hear the song TWGSIMM and see the lounge singer be devoured. We nearly collapsed with laughter, but did not catch the name of the movie. So imagine my shock when I heard Devo perform the song. I shouted out "what was the name of that movie!"

I really did LOL out loud at that!

Did they answer you?
  2:01pm
WM:

@ Mr. Fab. No. It was some years more before I discovered the name of the movie.

I do kinda miss the mystery of the pre-internet era, when we did not have the answer to everything at our fingertips, and would discover things by chance.

pronounced "stripe-ed"!

WM:

@Mr. Fab: I agree. I spent decades of my life building up a vast archive of useless knowledge, just waiting for the moment when a discussion provides the right opportunity and I can interject one of my essential non sequiturs into the conversation. Now any uninitiated novice can provide the same information by just consulting their smartphone. There ought to be some kind of fine or penalty for access to the instant knowledge smart phones provide. Remember - Socretes said that a true Philosopher must have a good memory.
  2:22pm
WM:

Socrates. So there is some use to the internet after all.
  2:29pm
WM:

Socrates on the written word: "For this invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them. You have invented an elixir not of memory, but of reminding; and you offer your pupils the appearance of wisdom, not true wisdom, for they will read many things without instruction and will therefore seem to know many things, when they are for the most part ignorant and hard to get along with, since they are not wise, but only appear wise." Just imagine what he would have said about the internet.

↳ Song: "Solar System" by "The Beach Boys"
Brian Wilson in the '70s was like Daniel Johnston before Daniel Johnston.

I hear what you're saying Socrates, but the human brain can only remember so much. True, writing has made us somehwat lazy thinkers, but we gotta offload all that data at some point.
Avatar 👻 2:37pm
Mr Fab:

I'm amazed that actors can memorize all that dialogue. I'd be hopeless at that.
  2:38pm
WM:

Note that while Socrates denounces the written word his disciple Plato, nonthe less writes down what he says, so two thousand years later we can read Socrates warning about the written word.

↳ Song: "Tahiti (Alternate mix)" by "Piero Piccioni"
This track is so great, i would play it over and over. But that got a bit repetitious, so to add variety, I've done tricks like the part playing now I layered a backwards version over it, also dropped in bits from actor Lawrence Harvey reading poetry, and Pink Floyd's "Echoes"

hey, Preparation Aitch! yes, this is kinda the grand finale.

now I've got two versions playing at the same time, one slightly ahead of the other. Here comes the Pink Floyd sounds.
