[Kzyxtalk] Just add water. Makes its own gravy.

Subject: Just add water. Makes its own gravy.

/"King wrote favorably about Brian de Palma's stylish and frightening 
adaptation in his 1981 book Danse Macabre, noting that, while his novel 
[Carrie] took a fairly conventional approach to what he called the ant 
farm of high school, de Palma's film depicts Bates High as a sinister 
matriarchy. 'No matter where you look,' King wrote, 'there are girls 
behind the scenes, pulling invisible wires, rigging elections, using 
their boyfriends as stalking horses.'" -April Snellings/

Here's the recording of last night's (2023-04-07) eight-hour-long Memo 
of the Air: Good Night Radio show on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA) and 
KNYO.org:

Email /your/ written work and I'll read it on the very next Memo of the 
Air on KNYO.

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

The Dog of Wisdom's comic-evil twin. What a sweetheart.

Please don't blow up and fall out of the sky. Please, please don't. It's 
like a prayer that spontaneously forms in my mind for these wonderful, 
brilliant, dedicated, focused, brave uber-people. It's a prayer /to 
them/. Catch every problem in time. Flip all the right switches in the 
right order, do the job, come back safe.

I've been afraid of motorcycles since my last one almost killed me in 
1981. But how could anybody not want this? Your hands want to be on it.

Juanita loves the webcomic Lackadaisy, probably mostly for the costumes, 
and she just sent me this link to the pilot for an animated teevee show 
of it. The characters are a little /too/ indestructible for my taste, 
but there's a sad sweet tone to it, that makes you think of their 
real-life counterparts from the Prohibition days, who had lives as vivid 
as yours and mine and might have played a violin or trombone along the 
railroad tracks in moonlight, on the way to dig up a coffin of hooch.
