69: Stigmata
Hello friends! A short show this week. I’m healing from an episode of stigmata thanks to a power drill and bad judgement. My old man cat is on his last paw and I’m preparing to say goodbye. Sad to let our little friends go, huh? I’m also preparing to tel haunted stories at Stone Mountain Park’s “A Tour of Southern Ghosts” storytelling event. If you’re in the are stop by and get haunted. We’ll talk again soon.
68: I Want To Live Forever
I know. This episode is weird. Quirky. Kinda freaky. Hey, it’s the vaccines, okay? Maybe the anti-vac people are on to something after all. Anyway, on this show I discuss vaccines, good music, Cameo and trying to control fame. At least I think that’s what I discussed. I can’t remember. I’ll try again tomorrow. See you soon, friends.
67: Dancing In The Seats
Hey, I actually recorded a show without having to do it twice! Pushing the record button really works! Well, I’m preparing to decorate for autumn, how about you? Atlanta is going to be rather fall-like this week and I’m ready to make the best of it. I got to see “Stop Making Sense” this week and it’s still (maybe) the best concert film ever. Catch it on the big screen if you can. Don’t forget to enjoy your experiences when you have them, my friends. They are all we have in life. Once they are gone, you’re gone. Let’s talk again later this week.
66: Let’s Do It Again
A last minute impromptu guest invite brings us the lovely Maria, a woman I spend most of my life with. Mostly because we got married but also because she’s pretty hot and smarter than me is. Unfortunately, I completely get everything off to a bad start by almost getting through the entire show and then realizing I forgot to push “Record.” Embarrassing. Anyway, it all turned out okay. We discuss “Only Murders In The Building,” the arrival of autumn, and the very first concert we ever went to. Probably worth a listen. Hope you like it.
65: The Gospel of Blasphemy
Nice to be back, my friends. It was a little forced vacation as I dealt with the earth trying to shake me off of it. I’m not so sure it has ever really been comfortable with me. Hey, I recently read about the Aghori sect of Hinduism and it made me think about a philosophy I developed back in my 20s which I call “The Gospel of Blasphemy.” The Aghoris are very unorthodox and unusual. Quite blasphemous if you can’t handle the taboo. A bit creepy. A good group to reseach as we approach the season of haunts. I’ve also been obsessing over a pop-electronica band called Venus Hum. Maybe you know about them. They’ve been around for 25 years or so. I’m just now discovering them. Story of my life. See you later this week.
64: Retrobation
We’re getting ready for a hurricane to move through the south so I hope everyone stays safe and secure. Maybe grab a pack of ice cream sandwiches or cones to enjoy while you ride it out. Do you still get visits from the ice cream truck? Haven’t seen one in awhile. I think they are avoiding me. I met my soul mate last night and she had a really weird name. That’s not a good sign is it? What are your favorite shows from the 70s? There were some really bad ones. I give you my 5 top favorite 70s shows. Feel free to send me yours. See ya’ll next week.
63: Finding the Monster
This week we’re heading for 100° weather in Atlanta. Someone please send us ice. If you have nothing to do, why not plan on attending Fyre Festival 2? Yes, it’s happening. Or maybe you’ll want to look for the Loch Ness Monster this weekend. Just bring along an expert in the topic of monsters. Most likely they do exist. What should we do for Halloween, folks? Help me out. Let’s do something fun that doesn’t involve sacrificing small children again. Authorities say we have to stop that kind of activity. See you this weekend, folks. I’ll be naked in ATL with an icy beverage.
62: Something Stinks
Welcome to a rare video show, my friends. You don’t have to watch the video version but it’s there if you want it. I’m updating my term for the short generation between Boomers and Gen X, of which I am a part. Pay attention and start using the new label. I’ve been sleeping in the rain the past few days. Sort of. It’s relaxing so join me, won’t you? Have you ever lived in a stinky city? I think I’ve lived in more stink than most. Let me know if you can top my impressive stink resume. Why is it people want to crap on the things that give us pleasure? It happens way too often, don’t you think? Let’s do better. See you later this week.
61: Beer
Yesterday, storms moved through the south and made it very difficult to record a podcast. So here we are today. Been awhile since I shared a beer with you so I hope you don’t mind if I crack one open today. I got to watch the Jason Isbell documentary Running With Our Eyes Closed last night. I really enjoyed it and it made me think about how challenging relationships can be. I’ve had some pretty stormy ones for sure. Like those storms of yesterday, moving in and throwing stuff around. Not fun. Okay, I’ll see you later this week. Let’s try to do a video.
60: I Know You Are But What Am I?
Happy Episode 60 everyone! Hope you have a good holiday. Me? I’m still trying to get my life and home organized. It sure is taking awhile. How are you with trust? Do you trust people easily? I feel like I can learn a lot about trust from my cat. Celebrities are dropping like, well, celebrity flies. We’ve lost several the past couple weeks. The world is not as safe and secure as we have told ourselves it is. Hang on. It’s a bumpy ride. See you next week.
