[Kzyxtalk] R.O.U.S.

[Marco McClean]

/He held up a book then. "I'm going to read it to you." "Does it have 
any sports in it?" "Fencing. Fighting. Torture. Poison. True love. Hate. 
Revenge. Giants. Hunters. Bad men. Good men. Beautifulest ladies. 
Snakes. Spiders. Pain. Death. Brave men. Cowardly men. Strongest men. 
Chases. Escapes. Lies. Truths. Passion. Miracles." "Sounds okay," I said 
and I kind of closed my eyes./

The recording of last night's Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio show on 
KNYO-LP Fort Bragg and KMEC-LP Ukiah is available by one or two clicks, 
depending on whether you want to listen to it now or download it and 
keep it for later and, speaking of which, it's right here:

Paula Glessner (I hope I have the name right) and her mostly silent 
partner showed up with a box of thousands of tiny sculptures, 
archeological evidence of a culture of Girl Scouts in what's now the 
American Georgia. And they spread them out on the table and talked about 
what they all mean. I can't sum it up quickly and do it justice, but 
it's about the sign of the giant chicken, a campground outhouse, a 
spirit journey across the continent in a van with a big dog, and a 
wicker flying saucer with five blue eyes. And you can too.

Besides all that, at http://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you can find a 
fresh batch of dozens of links to not necessarily radio-useful but 
nonetheless worthwhile educational items I set aside for you while 
gathering the show together. Such as:

I love this kind of animated graph. Here, as you watch this, what year 
does it get to before you realize you don't know who half of these 
people are, much less what their famous song is or what they even sound 
like, or who they just got divorced from to get back together with whom? 
(See? Whom.) (Say that: /whom. Whom./) (Just keep saying it. You sound 
like Laurie Anderson, who is not shown on the graph.)

A short clip from the surprisingly historically accurate documentary 
film /Flying Saucers Over Istanbul/. It amazes me that this sort of 
thing is going on all around us all the time, the truth is out there, 
and it's pushed to the back burner as all the media can think of to 
plaster everywhere is the noteworthy but vastly less significant 
discoloration of Trump's wattles by his rancid racist lies and the black 
blood, or perhaps it's child-slave-produced Hershey's syrup, seeping out 
of the pentagram on his skin-suit forehead, mixing with the lies and 
continuing on below, creating a world-permeating narcissistic effluvium 
of eldritch doom. A little of that goes a long way.
