[Kzyxtalk] Norman Update…..

[Joel Waldman]

Good morning to you Norman,

In my opinion you will never receive the reception you deserve from  
Hambone (I know you remember MacBird, the Garson parody of MacBeth  
that stuck it to LBJ),  the working title of the piece I am  
contemplating to satirize the nasty little coterie that have the  
station.

I have a six minute video that explains the current Israeli- 
Palestinian deadlock.  Will I ever get to share it with all the chicks  
now under the wing of those who, finally, have come to scorn you?  The  
answer seems to be in a pig's eye.

Have you seen any reviews of "Grace"?

Your neighbor.
