my grandfathers' AM radio revisited
now playing: david lindley, "turning point"
had our first "quin-less" stone road practice last night, and started charting out new material for the next round of gigs. also, quin committed to doing the valentines' day gig we have on the books as well. darryl may have a conflict with a gig we have booked in march, but that hasn't fleshed itself out yet. adding more gigs this month as well.
when i was a kid, growing up in tennessee, i vividly remember listening to paul harvey on the radio all the time. i was a big fan of his afternoon program, "the rest of the story" - it always told an intriguing story that ultimately involved a strange twist in the life of someone famous, or had some form of a head-scratching ending. good memories.
i used to have a book, a collection of those stories, that vanished along with an ex-fiance some years ago, but i was reminded of a story in that book a while back and went looking for another copy and couldn't find one...yet. it is, of course, a saved search on eBay now. i went to his website today, though, and had to chuckle at the fact that his cyberhome touts him as "the voice of the new millenium" - sorry, man. the sound of your voice will automatically conjure 1975 or so to me.
i did click on the "listen using windows media player" button, though, and listened in for a while - i don't remember there being so much commercial content back in the day, somehow.
hello americans, this is paul harvey - stand by for news! blah blah water heater blah blah occular nutrition blah blah toll free number etc blah etc...
in my movements around the web today, i went against my better judgement (but adhered to my personal credo to allot an open mind to opposing points of view) and clicked on one of the recent updates to a blog...and found this entry, which...of course, prompted me to read this to see what he was talking about...
it amazes me sometimes - the lengths some people will go to in defense of the indefensive.
talk about "askin' to get smacked around"....
ah, well...must get to work here.
