What? Never imagined myself on a sports talk show, but there I was... Thanks to Lance McAlister, definitely an A-lister in legitimate radio, for having me on for a few minutes this evening, not to talk sports, thankfully, but my own program, Radio Retrofit.

Huge honor. πŸ™‚
I'll link to the show soon.

Today, by Escape Mechanism from the album Self Titled

Jimmy DIED, to provide the story inspiring this post. The least you can do, is LISTEN. πŸ˜‚

Swaggart never said any of this. I did, ~30 years ago, cutting deeply into his records, tearing parts out, smashing them back together, RUINING his message, for mine…

Newspapers, sure, but also just anyone with an in, there. We, the people, have an obligation, feels like, to OUT those so willing to comply with fascism.

Coming Very Soon

Time to pump UP the volume, for a NEW episode of Radio Retrofit (WFMU), this Tues on the Sheena’s Jungle Room stream.

It’s early 90’s teenage rebellion, at its most inspiring. Think of it as a refresher course, if you’re in need.

Bruce Springsteen. American flag in background.

Bruce Springsteen. American flag in background.

Springsteen hasn’t backed down from fierce declarations, made in Manchester, England, on May 14.

Instead, the singer has immortalized the words, which are fighting. They open his new live album.

Springsteen’s effort is a signal to the rest of us, to do the same.

RESIST. However YOU are able.

Good idea: Not watching State of the Union or any scheduled tv appearance. Watch the highlight reels, after, online, if curious. Not Live.
