Happy Holidays

It's that time of the year again when Ric takes an amusing look at the ongoing "War on Xmas". This time out, Ric gets into how it all started, who is firing the "shots" and where is this all headed. Plus, a little holiday cheer and a little advice.

Also in this episode, there came an idea for a Christmas card that should be made. It should have a nice serene image, in watercolor, with some outstanding words reflective of the holiday season. If that weren't enough, Ric will tell you about a very special show on Radio Memphis happening tonight.




NEXT WEEK: Wrapping up 2019... sort of.

The Annual Christmas War and John Nemeth

For me at least, the best part of Christmas is it being over. Can't say I am a big fan of this holiday. It tends to bring out the absolute worst in people and it has lost all of what the holiday was about. I just hunker down and wait for all of this to blow over. But enough of all that.

In this episode, Jeff and I sat down with John Nemeth and talked about his current collection of songs from the Feeling Freaky CD. We had a great time in the studio with lots of laughs and a great performance with his band.

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.
