It's a Comcast Christmas

This is the last show of 2016. Sounds ominous, I know. Just getting this episode in the can has been a pain in the ass. Not that I would expect any listener of this show to care so much about that issue.

It's no big deal, really. Especially when you put things into the real perspectives of how difficult things can be for others. We never really know what others are going through. People, for the most part, tend to hide their issues from others. It's a sense of pride, really.

Having said that, I will say this... "The show must go on".

Plus music from Special Shoes.

Advertising is an interesting thing. It blends some science with some art and you get commercials. I know it is kind of strange to think of it this way. But, there is some validity to this idea.

In this episode, I'll take a look at what works and what doesn't work for what ever reasons.

Plus, music from Ransom.

From The Trenches of the Great Xmas War

How is it that people who call the "war on Christmas" an actual war are always those who feel they are being marginalized? Seriously. Is there an actual movement to suppress those who say "Merry Christmas"? It's laughable. Seriously. Look at what you people are arguing about.

I have been chastised for saying "Happy Holidays". What the fuck, man?

What I seem to be being chastised for is for being open to the idea there are actually people out there who don't celebrate Christmas. You know, like those who celebrate Hanukkah. God forbid I recognize those who don't share the same customs as I or my family have. It's called acceptance.

Therein lies the problem. There are a lot of people out there who just won't accept ANYTHING from anyone unless it agrees with them, 100% of the time. Sad.

Also in this episode, music from The Fast Mothers.

Earl "The Pearl" Banks & Ashley Bishop

It's always a good time when people show up at the radio station. Especially when they start talking to each other and we are recording that moment. This is one of those moments. Earl "The Pearl" Banks is truly one of the blues greats. The stories he has are great fun. Also, Ashley Bishop from Mississippi Bigfoot sat in on this conversation and things got really fun when the two of them began interviewing each other.

Also in this episode, you are going to hear a couple of Earl's songs including Old Age Is Hell and Singin' Bird. Later, you'll hear a cut from a recent Mississippi Bigfoot record. The song is called Tree Knockin'.
