[Kzyxtalk] MOTA: Good Night Radio show all night tonight! Another odd one.

Subject: MOTA: Good Night Radio show all night tonight! Another odd one.

Deadline to email your writing for tonight's (Friday night's) MOTA show 
is about 7pm. If you can't make that, send it whenever it's done and 
I'll read it on the radio next week. Next week is fine. Do as you 
please, it's a free country, or so they say.

Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio is normally every Friday, 9pm to 5am 
on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg as well as anywhere else via KNYO.org. 
Also the schedule is there for KNYO's many other even more terrific shows.

But tonight, like a month ago and last week, MOTA will phantom-start 
around 8:35 with Heart of a Dog, an hour-long story told by Laurie 
Anderson, because I have to go get Juanita from work, tonight they have 
her on until a little after 9pm and it's a 50 minute round trip, plus or 
minus. So the regular beginning of MOTA with the theme song and 
everything will be at 9:40 when we get back, and will run till the usual 
5am. I happen to think everything by Laurie Anderson is equally good 
with just the sound, but you can watch Heart of a Dog on YouTube for 
free anytime. It's about Laurie Anderson's life, key elements of her 
childhood, her relationship with her mother, a little about her husband 
Lou Reed's harrowing but philosophical last months of dying of liver 
disease, and all of it revolves around her little dog Lolabelle, who 
ties the whole story together.

Any day or night you can go to https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com and 
hear last week's MOTA show. By Saturday night I'll put the recording of 
tonight's show there. And besides all that, there you'll find a hatful 
of educational porridge to stir for yourself until showtime, or any 
time, such as:

The corset x-rays of Dr Ludovic O'Followell. This should scare smart 
kids off of corsets for awhile, if just telling them they'll permanently 
painfully louse up their ribs doesn't do the trick.

Riding on a giant radio telescope, which shares some apparently elements 
of its construction with a corset, I see now. A corset for radio waves 
from outer space.

And clearly nobody involved in this story has read Dirk Gently's 
Holistic Detective Agency, because there is a fourth-dimensional 
solution to the very problem. And no, it's not to go back in time to 
when there was no house there and drop the couch from a crane at the 
same moment as bringing the crane and couch back to the present day, one 
outside the house and one inside, upstairs, with a /thump/. It's rather 
a simple four-dimensional topography problem.
