This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  Something like that only happens two or three times in a person's life!

Another Graham Norton Show quick excerpt.  Amazing to realize this is the same Jack Whitehall who is so menacing (and something of a lust object by the women) co-starring with David Duchovny in the streaming thriller MALICE.

From George,

Quote
I had taken potassium supplements in the past, but at some point my doctor told me that my potassium was too high and wondered why.  I told her that I was taking a supplement, and she said that I didn't need to, so I stopped.

Interesting.  Without the supplements is your potassium still good?

Thanks for the information DR JANE.

You are welcome.  It took me a minute to remember what information I gave you ;D

I've been busy digitizing my concert and show programs, tossing out all the ads and anything that isn't a list of the program, time and location, or the performers. This way I should be able to file more of them away. Maybe eventually I'll toss the remaining paper, but not yet.

Anyway, I thought I'd never seen Robert Yacko live and in person since he's based in LA and I'm not.

But as I was scanning in the Fiddler program from the national tour in 1980 with Herschel Bernardi, there he was as the last villager. So I have seen him in person, albeit a while ago.

I did remember correctly that the first show I saw on Broadway was The Wiz back in 1978.

It's fun going back, seeing both the shows I remember and those I don't.

TOD: Can we do radio commercials, including fake ones? WBCN used to do all sorts of comedy and had some great fake ads.

My favorite was during one of the elections - a very quick 5- or 10-second thing:

"Nobody in Massachusetts uses turn signals and nobody's gonna make us. Vote no, Question 4, mandatory turn signals."

I may not have that exactly right because unlike the next one, I can't find a recording of this on YouTube.

Here's the other favorite fake radio ad. Of course on the radio, all the F-words at the end were bleeped out. I think the bleeped version is even funnier but I couldn't find that online:

I think Billy West was behind both of these but it might have been one of his colleagues.

Ah - I turned on TCM and Metropolitan was starting.

I hadn't seen it in a long time - so I watched it.

I still like it.

And then there's The Amazing Keith Jarrett Christmas Offer (only funny if you know Keith Jarrett's recordings):

That one wasn't on WBCN, I think I found it through some jazz group like rec.music.bluenote.

For a real ad, it's got to be the Macintosh 1984 Super Bowl ad:

I watched two documentaries on HBO MAX last night.

Class Action Park - about Action Park in New Jersey during the 1980's. Lots of injuries and problems and of course grift and graft by the owners.

Lula Roe - about some MLM scam involving women's clothing - and it's still in operation.

Vixdad and I went there a few times BV ( before Vixter) . It was always a lot of fun...but you definitely were taking your life in your hands on some of those rides
