Victim bravo 1882 ouble a paper ...and watch the news, and swallow their lives, like sweet, cheap foods. You pay your taxes and vote for most of the government rifles, and plays on your fears. You can gossip, you can talk, you can vote that wars will stop, but the government will fall. Right, buy money. You'd like to make money, and act like a snob. But you're too dumb for college, and there aren't any jobs.
Besides, you must register for the draft. It may be shoes you've peasant to guard government's craft. You can bitch, you can moan, you can spend the day at home, but you'll march up when they call, because they've got you by the fall. Your mother's car was recalled when she birthed up in a ditch. Your father dies of poison while his boss gets filthy rich. A partite and repression are funded by your bank. Children die of hunger while the government builds hands. You can whimper, you can fly, you can fly until you're flying. They can make you dance or fall, because they've got you by the fall. They've got you by the fall, they've got you by the fall.
They've got you by the fall. They've got you by the fall. A very good hello. This is over the edge, and we are moving on tonight into the same place. That's right, how radio was done? Part 72 tonight, still in 1982. Yes, it stretches out a bit as we move into territory
where old over the edge can play a part, and I have some of that for you tonight. We were the other way radio was done. This is KPFA in Berkeley, it is over the edge. Part 72, how radio was done. Good evening. WMMR welcomes you to the Tower Theatre. I'm John Bradley from WMMR. And where wills out there tonight? In case you didn't know it, you are live on WMMR right now. And this is being recorded for the King Biscuit Flower Hour tonight. And here are those werewolves out there tonight.
Please welcome Warren Sieben. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much. WMMR welcomes you to the Tower Theatre.
WMMR welcomes you to the Tower Theatre. WMMR welcomes you to the Tower Theatre. Well, I'm a little down to the dew drop in. Sip I can't drink enough. There ain't much to contribute in sweat. This is a blood-sweet pull out of ammo. Play that dip and song. Speakers of the blast, play it all night long
Sweet home, out of town, play that dead band song Turn those speakers of the blast, play it all night long with your voice, play it all night long Sweet home, out of town, play that dead band song And play it all night long Sweet home, out of town, play that dead band song
... ... ... ...today you'll find it in all probably will be you'll be working in one of the smaller market areas. This has tremendous advantages, because here you're going to be doing... ...BJ work in noon. You may even be doing sports. You'll have an opportunity to polish your commercial delivery. So you'll be ready when the time comes to move on out to the next opportunity. But never think small, even if the market happens to be a smaller one, because the two man's on you as a broadcaster are just great. In terms of your individual responsibility of giving the very best you have.
Certain similarities are evident in all formats. With very few exceptions. In almost every format, whether it's soul, top 40, or middle of the room. So-called chicken rock. Color what you will. You're going to find that the announcer who is the most successful is the guy that sounds like he's having a ball. Hi, what's up, brothers? That's Rome. Are we doing that one over again now? Listen a while to AM-91 W-R-N-A-L. W-R-N-A-L. E-O-X-Y-Z-P. Hi, we're the staff of brothers. Yeah, we're the staff of brothers. One, two, three, one, two, three. Hi, we're the staff of brothers. You're going to get something right here. Hey, we call it in country. Listen a while to Richmond's company, 91 W-R-N-A-L. All right.
If you understand, if you take my hand, then we can dance real slow to something on the radio. Listen to the radio. Oh, listen to the radio. Let's spend the night together. Baby, don't go. They sing it on the radio. I try to find a way to explain to you. What's on my mind and not sound so plain to you? Do you realize if you close your eyes, the feelings my words can't show?
They're playing on the radio. Hey, we call it in country. Listen to the radio. Oh, listen to the radio. Let's spend the night together. Baby, don't go. They sing it on the radio. I've never known here as I'd say. I'm not in country. I don't know. I can't strip out there. Don't seem to sound as real. The songs they play. That's how I really feel. Listen to the radio. Hey, we call it in country. Listen to the radio. Let's spend the night together. Baby, don't go.
They sing it on the radio. It's not in country. I don't know. I can't strip out there. Listen to the radio. I don't know. I can't strip out there. Let's spend the night together. Baby, don't go. They sing it on the radio. Hey, we call it in country. Hey, we call it in country. Hey, we call it in country. Baby, I didn't love you. Why does often has I could have? Maybe I didn't treat you.
Why does good as I should have? If I made you feel second best, you did you. Girl, I'm sorry I was blind. You were always on my mind. Hello, hello. Yeah. It's the quickest way to get disconnected. Oh, say hello. Hi, hello, hello. Go start in. What's the name of that Warren Z. I don't know. How's that for an answer?
Well, it was great to hear Old Warren. He was cool. If there's time, there's more to come tonight. I got some great Warren Z. Yeah, that's something you got a good show there. I saw him. He had little feet spanned back. I can't stand Leonard Skinner. I just can't stand those guys. I'm so proud of Warren for recording that song. You were always on my mind. And maybe I didn't hold you. All those lonely, lonely times. I guess I never told you. I'm so happy that you're mine. Little things I should have said and done.
I just never took the time. You were always on my mind. You were always on my mind. Tell me. Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died. And give me one more chance to keep you satisfied. I'll keep you satisfied. I wouldn't know who he is with my country. I don't know how far you're back. Little things I should have said and done.
I just never took the time. You were always on my mind. I just never took the time. You were always on my mind. You were always on my mind. You were always on my mind. You were always on my mind. You were always on my mind. You were always on my mind. You can go ahead.

Don't just fool. Go get a wise man. Just out of school. Great grocery giveaway. Probably about time I introduced myself. My name is Todd Parker, and I work from 6 to 10 p.m. The last time I work nights, I was the most listened to and answer in Syracuse. In all demographics, I'm looking forward to repeating at number one.

Must have just happened. Decades ago. Maybe this highness is suffering slow. And I'm going in for David Peele in the lower east side. These are the more me and me go. I implore you. Hello? Hello? Hi. David Peele in the lower east side. Are you better? Don't come on, I love you. Hello? Hello?
When your telephone stops ringing, you are on the air. All right, is it Larry Crowe? We're talking Byzantine history, you're on the air. What was I saying? He paid what dues? Okay, that was there. But the records were concerned about real happenings in the world. Can you imagine somebody making a disco record about the Falklands? Here. I got it gun. Well, if Constantine had a few of those, you wouldn't have lost Constantine over to the Turks, huh?
I suppose, right? It's pointed at my head. Look, I'm a little busy right now, okay? Busy, get that busy, it's a little history joke there. You got something to talk about great, if not, get out. Nothing matters. Nothing. You mean nothing matters, come on. Invasion of the Lompars didn't matter to just in a second, huh? The Crusades didn't matter. The Frick and Crusades didn't matter. Okay, you're on the air, what do you want? You know, don't mess with me, Argentina or something like that. I don't know, I don't know. I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know. This is the history, huh? I guess the guy wants to talk turkey. Well, I'd like to tell you about my favorite radio listening of the early 80s. Other than over the edge, that is. Here's a voice I remember from the deep, deep past. Yeah. Yeah, did you have a name back then? No, no, I don't. Would you like one now? Well, actually the reason I stopped calling was that the Russians had figured out who I was. And you know, that was so bad, except that I hadn't figured out. Well, we're all done with them. Yeah, and until next time. We've got new problems. Well, I wanted to mention my favorite radio station of that period.
Go right ahead. In September of 82, I went down to Radio Shack and I bought this little portable radio 5 band on it. I had several police bands. Figured I was going to listen to it at PD Company A, I guess, or the weather or whatever. And I heard all those things. But within a couple of days, I found this station called KMB305. And it became a great piece of obscure entertainment. It was a pager station. And some of you folks probably won't even remember pagers. This was the pre-cell phone era back when a portable phone was something that weighed a couple pounds and you carried in a shoulder bag. But these people carried these little devices around with them and they would go beep. And then you would call your office and find out what was up. They wouldn't even display phone numbers and text at that time.
Or they would beep and they would talk to you. You could call one of these things and you'd do it and you'd have seven seconds to say whatever you were going to say. And it was amazing to listen to it. Really was. A lot of it, of course, was just straight, sober business. But I heard people arranging sports bets. I heard people arranging dope deals. I heard people mocking on another. Sometimes bombing each other with noise. And it's the best time to listen with about 130 in the morning. When the bars were closing, people were trying to get rides home and trying to connect with other people. And they were not only in an altered state, but they often didn't know how to use the system and we're trying to figure it out. On the fly and there's nothing that's funny as a sincere, complex, drunk.
Really? Did you tape any of that? You remember tape? I only taped one little piece. I taped Leonid Brezhnev's last message to the world. On the very day he died, he called up one of the painters and he said, hi, I'm Leonid Brezhnev and to the best in news, weather, and sports. Listen to KMB 305 or don't listen at all. And that was the last, last, the world heard of it. Just a few hours later, they announced that he had died. And that's the only thing you taped. Well, you know, this is the problem with doing how radio was done. Nobody was paying any attention at the time. Of course not. It was just going on and on and on. Yeah. And I guess we thought of it forever, which it didn't. Are you insane? Because of course you got, you know, are you insane? Are you insane? I don't know what he's saying.
Are you insane? He's saying are you insane? Oh, I thought he was speaking Russian. Well, I've never been diagnosed, but are you insane? Well, I don't know. It's a tough, philosophical problem, you know. I'm pretty good stuff this. Incoherent blues. This is the best of over the years. 1982. Two years later. Two years later. Two years later. Two years later. Two years later. Testing. Testing. How many years has been? How many years has been?
That's the most challenging. It's a repeater. Five years. — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — Zehano Karra, M.

I'm Omer Edge. Tonight, we present a special memorial edition of Receptical Programming. Needless to say, all of us here on the star have been thrown into profound shock by the recent demise of civilization on Earth.
Perhaps it was the realization that Earth was just too big to unify. The people too bent on maintaining a multitude of cultural biases rooted deep in their history that drove our forebearers to come here to the star to make our own way to begin a new history. Adrift in this fragile mass cube in space. We here in the Universal Media Network wanted to somehow pay tribute to all that we have lost. But how could we possibly sum up such an enormous subject as Earth culture? Well, after much soul searching and consultation, my digital organizer Wang Tool and I have decided there could be no more fitting tribute to Earth as a whole than a tribute to one of the most renowned citizens of that lamented body. Mr. C. Eliot Friday. Self-taught scientist, cultural visionary, media genius and prophetic survivalist.

You see this box broadcasting history is greatest means in Ontario. Our radio was done over the edge, gave me a thing. This is the best of over the edge. 1982. Outer programming for inner space. This is the universal media net web. Good hello, earthers. Welcome to these over the edge channels. The universal media net web now begins its weekly earth market cycle cast via the surface facilities of KPFA in Berkeley and KFCF in Fresno. I'm Omar Edge, Chief of Autoskematics for UMMN. First off tonight, in answer to the many complaints from earth listeners concerning bleed through problems with our signal in the past, there is no longer any problemola.
I have just spoken with the weather man, the net web downlinkedish man at Tyco station on the moon, and he assures me that his meters are red. And of course, red means go in broadcasting. That big 60 million watt net web signal should be punching your need aloud and clear. It sounds just great out where we are, and we're almost twice as far from the moon as you are. So stay with us for another unpredictable interstellar feed mix from UMMN. In just a few moments we'll be joining Dr. Oslo Norway in his guest Dr. Sigmund's signal void here in the Starlight Studios for another round of Dr. Talk, broadcast psychiatry at its most crisis ridden. But first, we're going to present another in our irregularly continuing series of historical documents from the life and broadcasts of CLE at Friday, father of the universal media net web. Tonight, we have the 317th shortwave broadcast transmitted by Mr. Friday from his reclusive complex on Howland Island.
This tape is dedicated designated number 3144618 in the Media Archives Friday collection and dates from the period of rapid net web expansion following the Jupiter incursions almost 25 years ago. Here, once again now, the man responsible for bringing the net web into our solar sphere, inventor of Transinfiltration Technology, founder of Friday Tronics and the preeminent Cubist Theoretician, Mr. C. Elliott Friday. And the moon is obviously most important. The moon may be a base for launching certain exercises, stressful intelligence. What is very important is that we do a thorough survey here of space. And I was particularly interested in my first visit to Jupiter because I had to address the United Nations the Starlight Committee in Geneva on the subject of war in space recently.
And I have been looking into this in some detail. I was in deep space. The brick moon back in about 100 years ago. The body of expertise there is unmasked anywhere in the world what they can do. That radar, for the first time, looked right to the sand and it saw beneath a ghost landscape of rivers, dried up riverbades of sand. And they mean back and they found in the middle of the air several thousand years ago they got destructive weapons which were concerned with. They have seen something strange in the sky, anti-satellite weapons using donor materials we don't know yet. The machine can search through the sand. It's a time machine. It will look back into the past through the sand and the desert. In fact, there's nothing we've been to through to our radios which we won't do. And then you have a perfect no orbit. Not to me, it's not only the high altitude stationary orbit. Switch it on, what you do appears on the screen and you can create it instantly, change anything around, change their space probes. That were there, perhaps, two hundred and twenty thousand years ago. No one had any idea. Well, in fact, we do have a puppy. We say, okay, print. And you go ahead and have a drink and then come back to the house on us. Well, a few hours. Maybe up to twenty-five million, but we know it's a yes. I don't think it'll be in the next century, but it will be feasible one after.
Well, I've done that. I've seen how it does in myself that all beauties and everyone I was able to explain. This is all a lot of nonsense, so I'm very happy on that front. It has a very curious power here. It showed me we became possible that under the science is a home landscape. I should make it clear that some military use of space is denying the reconnaissance satellites and stabilize the critical situation on your line today, thanks to the reconnaissance satellites. That's been non-literization, but it's the level of crystallization uses. Well, particularly worried about our development device, you just plug it in and it'll be just my life to get energy. It'll give you an example. It'll be a bit difficult if done, but if you're opposite, it'll be...
...two-six days. I'm from the main center. Twenty-four years, three days, fifty-six days. I'm from the main center. I'm from the main center. Good hello, Earth subscribers. I'm Omer Edge, Chief of Autoschematics here at UMN Outlet number nine on the star. Since the destruction of history on Earth, we here on the star must continue to carry on the human responsibility of record keeping. The star is the last repository for human history, and our media archives now contains the largest volume of Earth history documents in this solar sphere.
And yet, in the archives, there are great gaps in many areas of historical significance. Tonight, we would like to add to one of those gaps with your contributions of indispensable information relating to perhaps the most important missing link in Earth history. Tonight, we are requesting citizen-feed information relating to the life and times of CLE at Friday. Oh, that old scam! You are listening to Over the Edge right here on KPFA in KPFB in Berkeley, KFCF in Fresno. Listeners sponsored radio. We always assumed there were a few of them out there. Listeners, that is. And came up with many ideas to encourage input.
The one you're about to hear was a complete failure. This is Over the Edge. How Radio was done? Part 72, tonight on Over the Edge. Father of the Universal Media Net Web and his Underground Net Web Headquarters, Howland Island. Any historical information relating to Mr. Friday's life or his Howland Island complex will be added to the Net Web's Friday file in the media archives and eventually become part of a major educational channel devoted exclusively to the brilliant Voyager CLE at Friday. Now, as you know, Mr. Friday's development of Transinfiltration Technology allows him to travel in many times and places. His present whereabouts is still unknown, but the many Friday documents now in the archives attest to his appearance on Earth throughout the 20th century, as well as throughout this century right up to the present time.
His multi-dimensional career includes a successful stint as a Hollywood producer during the first half of the 20th century. He was a collector and innovator, innovative interpreter of the original Cubist art movement. His late 20th century collaboration with Dr. linear syntax led to his pre-eminence as a theoretical electrophysicist which eventually led to Project Cyclops. His privately funded attempt to communicate with interstellar intelligence. After the initial contact was achieved, his interstellar receptacle at Tyco Station on the Moon became the downlink for regular interstellar program feeds, now known as the Universal Media Net Web. Friday Tronics, Mr. Friday's Transinfiltration Communications Multiclomer was established and provides today's solar sphere consumers with fully compatible broadcast devices from the future. And of course, Mr. Friday is primarily responsible for the Cubist revival and the Universal adoption of Cubist style throughout our culture.
His diplomatic career spans more than a century of unrest, from the rounder's jam attack on Tyco to the recent incursions on Jupiter. C. Eliot Friday has always promoted non-violent resolutions to sticky spatial problems. Rumors have it, he may even now be mediating at the ring instability hearings out on Saturn. His short wave broadcast from Howland Island, some of which will be replayed here later on. Thank you. Have been milestones in human communications. And all this just scratches the enigmatic surface of the never photographed C. Eliot Friday. You have punched up the Universal Encyclopedia line. Media Archives reference division B12.

Wildlife intelligent. Heading are the rating. The rating is an electro-organic life form utilizing a complex system of electromagnetic absorption and organic digestion to energize its continual motion within common coil communication channels. The rating is believed to be an artificial hybrid life device originating outside this solar system. It was first discovered in happening star channels. Twenty. Two. Years ago, and probably arrived here on the returning interstellar probes of the Pluto program. The ratings method of self-replication is still unknown, but the total population now living in star channels is believed to be between... 75 and 100. The rating is an extremely dangerous form of parasitic channel life. Probably created as a military device for defense or attack during communication wars.
The rating is capable of cross-channel transinfiltration, and while not very fast, it is extremely powerful. The rating will seek out, attack, and consume any organic life form in its channel path. It has been genetically low-programmed for intelligence at a reptilian level of approximately FQ2. Similar to the shock or crocodile of Earth habitat. In its original electro-habitat, the rating was probably radio-controlled, at least for retrieval purposes. Star bioelectric scientists are continuing an intensive study program on the rating in hopes of duplicating a signal pattern which the rating will respond to. Once this has been achieved, this parasitic menace in star communications could be lured within range of major terminal spectral dispersers. The only infer channel weapon in our technology capable of destroying ratings. Thank you for punching us up. This has been updated reference tape number 33101, media archives.
Far further information on this subject, please punch one of the subheadings now on your screen. This is the subject of the planet where we search for positive solutions to solve the problem.
Well, hello! I'm Dickie Diamond, out at Saxon this time. Repeater base out here just south of the rim. It's a wonderful pleasure to be back fulfilling my contracted announcements for the net well. I should be back at the star for the big New Year's gig, but that's a few months away. Until then, I'm on my way. It takes a while, you know, when you're this far away. Say, latest announcement has to do with the big announcement we made last week concerning the big peace conference out on Jupiter. Yes, the big peace conference is over with unsuspected success as the result. Those startling events now mean the USA's entire arsenal of ICBMs are now obsolete and no need for them now at all. At any rate, as you know, and as might be expected, very as real estate interests immediately brought up the quandary
of what to do with all the empty silos buried all over that great land from Maine to Mexico. We here at U.M.N. are extremely pleased to announce that our use proposal to the Metaphysical Council and passed on to USA Earth has been accepted correct. It has been accepted. Over 700 ICBM silos in the USA will now be made into time capsules. That's right. That's with our suggestion, time capsules. Hardened against nuclear blast, these huge vertical cylinders will finally provide the kind of time capsules they've never go to the trouble to build otherwise. Room for anything, a Winnebago, tell up, lead a Winnebago. Well, that's been done before.
Which brings me to you, the listener. With all this silo space to fill, you listeners on Earth out there may want to add your list of items for inclusion in these time capsules. Each silo will be filled to the brim, then sealed with concrete pourings to remain unopened 50 feet below the surface for 500 years. That's right, 500 years. Now your suggestions for inclusion in these capsules may be anything which you feel will express essences of your society, essences of your society to an unknown future. Now remember, it is an unknown future. It is suggested that you consider the scope of societal and technological changes which have occurred over the past 500 years when compiling your suggestions. Thank you, now we turn you over to your local MC.
We hope you'll call in, we hope you'll fill those silos through the brim tonight. Thank you, Dickey Diamond, see you soon. That was over the edge in 1982. I tried something else in 1982 only tried it once. Man, whatever happened a radio adventure. I thought it would be a fun idea to put our station on another station's air and vice versa.
So I decided to call a talk show here in the Bay Area, KGO, which I did and have never done since. It's still a good idea. I don't know, whatever happened a radio adventure. There was some problem with this in their phone feed from their end on our air was rather overmodulated. But anyway, here it is, 1982, here's what happened. Hello? Hello? Yes? Hi, is this Pete? Yes, what do you want to talk to Pete about? Well, I want to talk about the radio, the future of radio, I guess, a lot of technological things that are happening. So, Jess, how are you? Oh, well, what radio might be like in the future? So, Jess? Satellite communications and the kind of national hookups that are happening and also use of the public, I think. Yeah, what inspired you to call on that?
What inspired me? Yeah, we've had a reason for calling. Do you have to go through the whole thing before I get to Pete, huh? A little bit, yeah. I'll be repeating it by the time I get to him. Well, I was just thinking about it. Why that topic interested you? What was your reason for wanting to talk to him about it? Oh, I like talk shows and I think they're significant in how they use the... All right, what's your first name? Olmer? Olmer? Olmer, O-M-E-R? Olmer, you're on line number two. Just leave the radio off and make sure that there's only one person on the line, all right? Okay, fine. I think he's paper tigers for importing the... Pretty much sanctioned by their government, right? Yeah, but then this is where it gets combed. Well, it would be the world against Samuel Will. If the public could rise. Frankly, I think the average working guy in America really would support the kind of approach that... He's going out there. But do you know what's funny? Then he's going out and doing it. Yeah, he's just doing it. You know, that's all there is to it. Someone's got to do that. He doesn't give a damn what people think. He's not doing it for public opinion.
Other groups do that. He is doing it. He is a self-appointed, and it's not just him. You look at the whole history of life on this planet, and it is the human race that it's killing you planet. I'll be thinking of you up here in that mountain. Well, I think I'll be thinking of you and everybody else too. Okay. Probably talk to you next year. It was for sure, Perry. And make it on down to peer, too, if you can. It's for sure, too. That's it. I'll try to check it out. Okay, Perry. Okay, take care of him. Bye-bye. Really? You know, we try and come up with solutions. I think that we've heard one very real solution tonight, and line two. Hi, thanks for holding. Welcome. Hello. Hello. Hi, Pete. Yeah, who's there? Hi, this is Omar. Omar, where are you coming from? Well, we're doing kind of an experiment here. We're calling from the future, Pete. Okay. I hear something in the background. Is that the sound of Pete's disaster?
Yes. You have a radio in? Yes. Oh, look out. Turn it off, Homer. Oh, it is. Where are you coming from? Well, that must be in the line. I'm calling from the star. Where's he coming from, though? Where? Hello. I can hear you. Can you hear me? Yeah. Well, I'll tell you what. You just started, and tell me what you're doing, and I'll see where we go with this. Okay, fine. Maybe I should explain. Dr. Linear Syntax, at the Institute of Trans Reality, is prepared a new Trans Infiltration Device for Radio Pete. Oh, I see. Dr. Witt's name? Linear Syntax. Linear Syntax, a Trans Infiltration Device. That's right. And it allows us to go back in time and inject ourselves into the very fabric of past programming. The fabric of what? Past programming. Pete, that's you. Past programming. Past programming. Past programming. Yes, we're going back to the past.
Back to you, Pete. And where does that take us? Yeah, tonight we decided to call a late 20th century talk show on Earth and blow their minds, Pete. Where are you at what point of time are you calling from, my friend? It's 117 here. 117. Very interesting. Well, we began counting out here when the star was completed. That was 117 years ago. Uh-huh. What can we do for you? Way back in primitive 1982. I mean, do you think... It's 1982 there, right? Yes, that's right. The dials are correct in. Very good. I'm going to raise a future to you, Matt, when you go into my next card. Best wishes for a healthy and happy 21st century. Wait a minute, Tom. Tom? I guess we lost it. Get syntax on the phone.
It's summer for you. It's 1982. Same here, Paul. Unstring those pearls. Boys of big business. Homebody girl. It's just not today's music to talk about that kind of thing. And somebody's got to talk about it, and I guess it's up to the talk stations. The light is from Mr. Depression, Barry Manolo. They have built on the firewire for that one. Exciting job, Parker. We've big prizes up for grabs in your name game for someone named Riley. 39 of the Fire 14. Hi, Todd.
This is Kim Phale from San Victoria High. On the Fire 14 high school hotline. This cast rate completed classes that make me arrangements for the senior trips to Florida. The business class is planning to just go dance on October 27th from 8 to 11. The varsity football team fails to general bounce the air day for the record of three and two. The spectator bus is going through those who would like to watch the game. The varsity soccer team has a game on Friday at Beaver River. This is Kim Phale from San Victoria High. On the Fire 14 high school hotline. When I left ABC was about 1970, and I put in about a year at CBSFM, and then I came here. So there would be about 1971. And often on, I was with any WWE until about 75, or thereabouts. This is WNEWFM in New York City.
Find me the takers. Look. What they do. Wonder if they feel so good for her. He's having a good tone. He's enjoying the show. Going out might be the only thing worse that could possibly be doing. Now whether or not there's foods not the point, it's how he sounds. Or as a discrepancy. If you have a fight with your wife or a fight with a boy or something. If you're down that day, you can't afford to work things like that show. You're always out.
You're always adding a good time. With a big broad smile on your face. Until 40, it's really letting it go. Cut 16. Cut 16. What's your dollars? I noticed that you didn't, for instance, on the talking heads album mentioned Hugo Ball's name.
Do you tend to be... Oh, he is mentioned in the... If you read the credits on the... On the disc? Yes, it says composed by... ...burn ball, you know, or something like, you know, ball burn. You know, ball burner. Yeah, he's mentioned that. Do you fear any suit at some point from people? Well, this is a difficult area. I mean, a long time ago, I had an idea that I wanted to make a piece from a little phrase that Jimmy Hendrix played on one of his songs. Or here, as I think the album was. Or the album was, anyway. Midnight was the name of the song. There was one little section which had this... ...squeezed guitar sound that lasted, oh, maybe five seconds. And I thought I could make a whole piece of that. But I never dared do it because I was sure that I would get sued. And, you know, the thing would never be released and so on. On the other hand, Hugo Ball.
Hugo Ball, I mean, he died in 1922 or something. So, what chance has he got? He must be public domain by now, I guess. But with the Arabic people and the Ethiopian man, we used him one of the songs, for instance. This is a real kind of moral dilemma. I want to use this material. But, of course, I'm not going to claim its mind. Obviously, these people are going to be credited and duly. But how do you get any other remuneration to an unidentified Ethiopian man recorded 15 years ago? I mean, the only good thing you could hope that comes out of it is that people say, hey, these Ethiopians are interesting. And that, in some way, you modify their view of Ethiopians and of that kind of music to some extent. But a lot of people object to the use of material in that way because they say, well, it's just some kind of cultural chauvinism that you just steal.
Other people's good ideas and fit them into your own. Responsible, receptive, reusable. This is the universal media net web. Well, of course, that's true, as well. On the other hand, you might be expanding the perception of the individual. I hope so. Yes, one hope so. I mean, it's just... I just have to use that material. There's no other way about it. I can't see anything better to do at the moment than that. Take, take, take. Most of the things I think that the change changes in using it being an event in time, being an event in space at least. The length of time I was on that tape. As soon as something is recorded, you're dealing with it. In the same sense, in a genius, any plastic material, it becomes malior, it becomes malior, you can reverse it and reverse it, turn it on and so on and so on.
And, of course, they play very well. Once again, it comes in an event in time, but during that intro, there is a special message. You can just watch it and enjoy it. Music Lots of things that you've never had a very great rehearsal for. It took a while for anyone to start seeing the possibility of it. Take, the most important thing about tape is that it changed music from being an event in time to being an event in space.
This is the length of time I was on that tape. As soon as something is recorded, you're dealing with it in the same sense as you're dealing with any plastic material. It becomes malior, you can edit it, you can reverse it, turn it on and so on. And, of course, they play that once again, it comes in an event in time, but during that intro, there is a special message. You can just watch it and enjoy it. Tap, most important thing about tape is that it changes music from being an event in time to being an event in space. The most important thing about tape is that it changes music
...to being an event in the space, at least the most length of time that it was on that table. But, take. As soon as something is reported, you're dealing with it in the same sense that you're dealing with any plastic material. It becomes malleable. If you're an editor, you can reverse it. So on and so on and so on. And of course, then when it's played back, it once again times my event in time. During the adventure, where it's a space room, you've got lots and lots of things with it. Lots of things that you never have available prior to the invention of tape. Of tape. It took a while before anyone started seeing the possibilities of this tape. Of tape. Of tape. Of tape. Of tape. Of tape. Of tape. Of tape. Of tape. That tape. That tape. Very, very easy. Very, very easy. Very, very easy. Thank you. Thanks for coming to KPFA. It's been a pleasure talking with you.
I hope to see you again. Okay. No, you may not tape me. You may not tape me. Do you understand? No, taping me. No, you may not tape me anymore. Turn that tape recorder off. No. No more.
I'm going to flip that tape out of your hand and take that tape. Run it in a conscious hand. Little of the road were yours and did slightly, but not all that much. Radio is not a luxury. Radio is a necessity. It's a point of life. It's day to day. It's real. It's a life. And that's what I fight to keep radio. I'm very sad about WAPC because you know that space. Did you hear the last few days and the last few days? I'll tell you. I thought for the last few months anyway. I guess when the disc jockeys and the announcers realized that the change was going to come down. I tell you that station sounded great for the last few months. There were playing music. You hadn't heard. Everybody was pushing years. But then knowing that, I was a little sad. I know and was sad. Everybody was counting the days. It was a count. And also we emotionalized when we listened to it. I mean, let's face it. My life was on that.
That was the greatest time of our life. How long were you there? 13 and a half years. About 13 and a half years. And we had one heck of a party when it went off the earth. It was really terrific. So I'm very sad today. I'm angry. Most of you know, you're reading the press and watching television. I've taken a very interesting stand, which I don't want to get into here. I know there's a memory bank that we're doing here. And I'm just disappointed that this kind of radio has been poo-pooed by the so-called great executives. The great executives are saying that music on AM radio is over its debt. Well, see, now you hit a very bad bone because that's the thing that got me crazy. And that's the thing that brought all the TV crews down to see Carson Brucey. If they were to let that alone, I wouldn't think that. I would have been angry and I said, but not have said. They've upset me. AM radio today, the quality of AM radio, and it leaves my radio station is excellent. We do not have stereo right now. You know, there's a big thing going on with stereo right now. I think we're down to 18 systems or something. So we're all waiting for you to have it. But you know, stereo is very nice. And you have a magnificent station. W&W FM is a legend.
There's no doubt about it. Scottie's done a great job. I'll hold you guys there. But it's not that you're stereo. It's not that you're as clean as heck with you with your quality. It's that you gave the people a good bowl of cereal to listen to. Cracker jacks are great. You don't have to give a person a prize and a buyer. And we said, I love Cracker jacks. I'd buy it without the prize. We need the prize. So my point is, if you give people good radio. If you give good radio, you're part of the audience. Right. Like that little joke. They can listen. Was there any point in time where you were there where you started thinking this is going to end? Yes. Dan and I both knew this. I'm sure Scottie knew it too before he left it. He left it a little early because we were still doing very well. Scott left. I started seeing this thing happening in the 70s. It's like watching an old aunt get sick and leaving her in the chair and not giving her any medicine. That's what happened. They started bringing guys in from California and guys in from Dallas. And they started with these geniuses that live in Dallas and with the computers. You can't do that in New York. New York City is a living life. It's an organ. You know, it's a huge, volatile, dynamic, living thing.
And you just can't go to a computer, read out, and the thing says, play this, play this. You know, you can't do that. Hey, what I'm on the air. I know of the Lincoln Tunnel Square. I know of that guy in the table that has a stomach ache. I know a Mayor Koch had a headache. And as I talked to him on the air, I knew who was missing. I helped the police. I know of the toothpaste. It tasted good. I tell people. You know, that's what radio is. It's a live and dynamic. And they just didn't understand it. So over the last decade, the 70s, they let this slip. They got too darn involved in being number one. Worried about being number one. Instead of watching their own backyard and doing the best creative radio they can do, maintaining what they were doing, establishing, reestablishing WABC as a live people one-to-one type medium, and let it go. They were too worried about FM coming. Your FM was coming in. Why does everybody have to be number one? Why can't you do the best you can do a big creative? See, once you get afraid, you cannot be creative. You get fear, you're finished. You're done. And that's degenerate. It was not a natural thing. It could have been helped. I think a lot of creativity lies in the opportunity to make a mistake.

Music Music Music In 1982, Grandmaster Flash and his crew rappers, The Furious Five, recorded the message featuring Mully Mel. Early rap lyrics had dealt mostly with partying. But the message said a new tone was chilling a count of ghetto life. Everybody has everywhere. People pissing on the stage and know they just don't care. I can't take the scrubs. I can't take the noise. I got no money to move out. I guess I got no choice. Rats in the front room. Bones in the back. Chuck gets in the alley with the bass fall. We're all just slaves. I tried to get away, but I couldn't get far. Cause I'm there with the touch of people's ass.
My car. Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge. Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge. I'm trying to knock to lose my head. I'm trying to knock to lose my head. Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge. I'm trying to knock to lose my head. Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge. I'm trying to knock to lose my head. I'm trying to knock to lose my head. Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge. I'm trying to knock to lose my head. Unlike all the other established genres of music, they're confined, meaning that eight times out of ten,
there had to be a melody, right? And on top of the melody, the singer had to sing in a certain key. There was an intro, there was a chorus, there was a bridge. She's a very kicky girl. The kind you don't take off to my bar. She will never let your spirits down. Once you get off the streets, I'll go. She likes the boys and the band. She says that I'm the old type favorite. When I make my move to her room, it's the right time. She's never high to clean. I don't know. That girl is pretty wild now. She's a super rink.
There's plenty of green above. That girl is pretty kicky. There's a super rink. I really love to say so. Every time we meet, she's all right. She's all right. That girl's all right with me. Yeah. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Where's the hip-hop? That don't matter. You can sing off key. Our subject matter that we can talk about are almost unlimited. Musically speaking, we can take a piece of Frank Sinatra. We can take a piece of Led Zeppelin. A horn blast in James Brown. A horn blast them anywhere if it's properly strung together. This is hip-hop.
When I get this, she's got instance one in ten dollars. Graffiti art and rap music were part of the Bronx-based subculture called hip-hop. One of its leaders was Africa Bambada, who founded Zulu Nation in 1976, as a social and political outlet for kids in the Bronx. Rap was always here, you know, from way back in the time. And God talks to Adam, Moses, all the prophets, he was rapping to them. When you have the Caesar and all of them, when they talk about dial out, forsaken me and stuff, they were rhyming in eight times. And even when you had Shakespeare and all that, he was rapping and rhyming in his time. That was always here. He's gone around saying that he's a championship fighter, but when he meets me, he'll fall 20 pounds lighter. He thinks that he's a real heavyweight champ, but after I'm finished, he'll just be a tramp. Now, I'm not saying this just to be funny, but I'm fighting on him because he needs the money.
Long before hip-hop culture permeated the Bronx, speaking in short staccato rhymes had been well established by Cassius Clay in the 1960s. And by Black Radio DJs since the 40s. Now in the 80s, a new style of dancing evolved to accompany the propulsive electronic beat. And competitive break dancing was encouraged by community leaders like Fambada as an alternative to gang violence.
I don't think you know where the time won't do. I give you the word to you. If you want me to, I'll do anything. I said it here. It hit me. It hit me. It hit me. It hit me. It hit me. It hit me. It hit me. It hit me. It hit me. It hit me. It hit me. It hit me. It hit me. Before founding Zulu Nation, Fambada had himself been a lieutenant in a notorious Bronx street gang, the Black Spades. Now with his focus on the community, he became an influential DJ with an ear for new and different sounds. It hit me.
It hit me. It hit me. It hit me. They think I'm a fool. Because I do so many things for you. But they don't know the reasons. Why I do all the things I do. Maybe they'll never see the things you do for me. The way you make me strong. When everything go wrong, when you stand by my side, how you relax my mind and show me one truth to make my dreams come true. Music Craftwork was a German group that experimented with electronic sounds during the mid-70s. At that time they had been considered a novelty act.
Now their music found an unexpected admirer in the Bronx. Because I wonder who was these funky white boys from Germany that had this futuristic sound. When I first heard Transyl it was fresh. I mean I just won crazy and started getting the jam at every party that we played in the Bronx. And it was the zoonation that pushed the hell out that record that just caught on like hellfire with the black and Latino community. And I thought this would be the music for the future. Music Music
So once I got into Transyl it was fresh. I started digging up a lot of other craftwork records like robots on Autobahn. So I looked around as I was saying, I don't see no black electronics. So when they came out with numbers, I said yeah that's where the electrical fun will come. Music Taking inspiration from craftwork, Bambada created Planet Rock, which would provide a blueprint for a whole new musical movement. Music
Your funky DJ, and touch with your knees. Music Electro fun, street rhymes and attitudes combined with electronic rhythms and textures.
The track was created with the help of a young producer. It's hard for me to imagine music before Planet Rock actually. When I moved to New York and started hanging out with Bamb, Trans-Europe Express was one of his favorite records. And I think some of the reasons why there was a drum machine, no rock groups or no soul groups really were using drum machines at that time. So the beat was really steady, they could mix to it and it was an interesting sound. Music
There's nothing in this world that I want to do. It was a different, really different sound. This record made my job easier. This record allowed me to go to the bathroom. This record allows me to go get a soda. I can play it from here. It's funky. It makes sense to touch with your hands.
So how does that impact your programming? What do you do? Do you do anything differently? If you have more white listeners, are you trying to reach a broader spectrum of people? It could be DJing it, the DJed itself. As rap and hip-hop took off with black listeners, the music caught the attention of white rock acts. I really had never really written a rap and I wasn't an experienced rapper and it was so exciting. It really was part of that tradition of something new and something strange.
Nobody does this, it's really wild and it's great and it's very underground and it's very hip and it's really happening. The shows, I don't know what you would call them, the rap events and whatever, they were really forbidden and mostly black kids would go. It was just wild and everybody would get up here and start yelling out their shit. I thought it was quite weird or cute or blondie to, for example, knowing a song or after. I mean, to this day, I don't know what she was talking about but it was just who, just for her to make a tent and do what she did for the record.
It was quite a compliment to me to know that this particular style of music was new then, touch another race of people. It was great. It was great. It was great. In the wake of Flint Rock, electronic dance music found an eager audience in urban clubs, especially gay clubs, where cutting-edge dance music was always welcome.
In the wake of Flint Rock, electronic dance music was always welcome. In the wake of Flint Rock, electronic dance music was always welcome. The vibrant New York club scene soon caught the attention of a rock band from Manchester, England, who owned a dance club themselves, the group, New Order, began to combine the excitement of the dance floor with live performance.
Most bands were placing an emphasis on guitars and we thought we'd try to do something new and place the emphasis on drums. If we did innovate in any area specifically, I would say it was taking this kind of electronic dance group music out onto stage and playing it live. How does it feel? Would you like to reach a larger audience? No, that should get 1.3 million of all the blacks I'd be having. That's all I've played. We don't have any game to turn off any glue. How can you try to play it safe as much as possible?
The desk that we wrote gluing mondial, which was everyone considered to be like a technological revolution as a song gluing mondial. It was the oldest desk I've ever seen in my life and everything was done by hand on every scene it was absolutely murdered. I always remember one really nice thing, which we were really flattered about, was that craftwork booked in to Briton Hebrew to do their song to try and rip off blue mondial. I think we were mortified when we saw the best. Blue monday was sold only as a 12 inch single causing resistance from radio. But the desk sold 3 million worldwide and established the 12 inch as the format for recorded dance music in the 80s.
They came over to New York, I took them out to a small demo studio in Brooklyn. As they tell it, I stood over them waiting for them to do something. I don't really remember that way, but that's the way they tell it that I was intimidating their creativity. I don't think anyone can intimidate those guys. We were expecting Arthur Baker to be this really big flash producer and knew exactly what he was doing. We were very nervous. Arthur Baker expected this really flash bando, knew what they were doing. I remember sitting in this guy's house in the Bronx in New York. I was just looking at each other, just scared to death thinking, what the hell are we going to do? And we were just jamming and it was like, oh god, it was the first time we'd ever gone to the studio without the track written. We went in basically and did two tracks. We came up with some stuff and we did confusion and the track that became thieves like us.
You know, I just gave them the multi of thieves like us and I finished confusion. I brought the Roland 808 and my backwood sounds, which was sort of the hip-hop thing at the time, the funhouse sound. I knew what I brought the bass for one, which we also used for this sequence. I brought the handclaps. They brought the guitar. They brought the melody. I brought the hand. And I brought the beat. We put it together and it sounded like this. I brought the handclaps.
You can't even tell where I was trying to watch it. You can't even tell where I was trying to watch it. I brought the handclaps together and I finished confusion. C.M.O.L.A. Spittin' out fuckin' shots What I'm gonna wet ya Runnin' high But I'm still comin' to catch ya Thinkin' like a piecemote Coming on the homicide We talkin' shit Tryna take me for a ride I'm not a bad guy But I'm not fuckin' feelin' Thinkin' on a tricker What my hands up on are still Lettin' out a bullet Is this goin' movein' Is that gettin' my hoots up When you check on a doughnut Begin' the hunted one There's no fun Here I come sayin' you I think you better run What's that with you? Well, you gotta use demos Uh, in all the pens Whatcha goin' at? Right, if you see that You have a chance of getting more teenagers Than anybody else in the market Then you automatically Set your programming to get teens But, uh, all of these stations We're just absolute people 12 plus heavy We just, uh
If that ain't as here Just let it go Uh, it is not a Tryna point out the fact that In this market FM does not Really dominate this market Like if there's everywhere else A.M. Radio here It's very, very powerful Well, that's right You know, because It's the lens market Exactly Exactly Absolute lens Yeah, people here I've worked in a lot of markets Probably more than The other three gentlemen And, um I find that the People here Really love their radio Bein' better run more And move a little faster Second of thought And I'm comin' to blast ya A.M. FM or CB Mm-hmm It's just A die-hars radio listeners And my Saada Shacka And on the floor Left and on the floor And All day If you're on the E.M. And you have a good program Or they can see If you're having a good program And they listen to you So For the one, for the shacka And they could see the joke La, la, la, la, la Remember the really amazing thing With you finished The session
And he took the tape off the reel And took it to the full house Which is a map club In New York Great place And absolutely ...no, normally, whenever you finish doing something, you don't get the buzz of hearing it anywhere else. For months and months and by that time you've sort of lost it. And to actually, for him to take it out and play it was a man. Period. How important is the image that you portray? That's very much the problem. I'm accurately portraying my image on the radio. I mean, you know, this is me, right? You see what you get every morning, right?
I am completely honest. Unscrupulously, I mean scrupulously. Did anybody see Bush's war on TBS? Me and that was stunning, stunning. This is the most scrupulous, free administration since Nixon. So, be proud of that. This is KPFA and KPFB and Berkeley, KFCF and Fresno, KZFR and Chico now. And this is over the edge. How radio was done part 72 tonight? 1982. Yeah. Are you like this all the time? Yeah. You're crazy all the time? Well, I mean, like any human being, you know, I've got moods. Really, I'm probably happier on the radio than I am. Just walking around. Just walking around, yeah. Because it's, you know. Does it bother you?
Does it bother you that kids might imitate him? The black kids might imitate him? Yeah, doesn't bother me. It's up to the parents. I mean, you know. I just like, you know, when black people walk up to you and say, wow, wow, you're white. What do you say to that? I do sound taller on the radio tonight. No, it's not that big a secret from anybody anymore. I mean, I've been here three years now. Yeah, but still your voice. And when you go places and sing and introduce this by walk, and someone says, wow, you're white. What do you mean? No, more often I get the reaction. Yeah, you sound just like you sound on the radio. Are when somebody who has tried for a couple years, just called to be an defender of our industry,
...a few years to get me on the request line, fighting through the request line. Finally gets me on the telephone, I get the reaction. Wow, you sound just like you sound on the radio. You've always been pretty honest about the fact that you're white, really, haven't you? It was no advantage to hide it. You know, I wasn't trying to put anything over on anybody from the start. So I laid it right there on the table. Do you feel that your management took a risk in hiring me? I was a proven commodity. I had been successful in black radio before, and the man that hired me, I had worked with him before. So he knew, you know, that I was effective. Okay, so if the wall is a sign of the changing times, which of you is going to be morning man on a white station? I don't change, I just think. You know, I don't change that right. But eight years probably got in. No further than the all night, so it's not balanced. No, no, it's not balanced at all. As I can count the black morning man and the 17 years that I've been in radio on my hand, on one hand, nationally.
Why is that? We could call it racism. Yeah, you could be good at that. Right up, right up. So much more conservative. I mean, you can look at the huge, huge following that I have. Obviously, beating a lot of white radio stations in town with a stick in the mornings. I'm headed up the river with a boat ain't no battle. And I'm headed up the big dams. I'm headed up the river with a boat ain't no battle. And I'm headed up the big dams. Put me in chains, try to beat my brains. I think it out, what the great remains? When I take your phone, guess I'm going to get job. Get job. Yeah, job. Go, go, go, yeah. So I've got hand on a problem, sign on a 40. I'm headed up the river with a boat on my side, and the biggest in town. La la la la la la la. Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right.
Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Baking up 40, stuff is heel sit. La de nanda for the brunette to chill with Cause I'm the chill when I'm the get out When they sit to the hell of surprise They chill with that one man And I don't remember what they're born And I don't battle And they got me a lock down And I don't care And they don't remember what they're born And I don't battle And they got me a lock down We've been like a nigga who'd have lost his mind Cause I ain't going out like a smile And they're telling things Some say life is a bit And stand punk who's up It's so good I tucked the hill fucking up And I'm partying time to get money to the hole in his body La la la la la la la la la la la la And I'm the hell of surprise They chill with that one man And I'm the chill when I'm not on the floor And I don't talk about things No point in shuns No losing junk La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

A woman, nothing of the past. Machines are a lot less trouble. Know what machines say? Machines say one thing, only one thing they say. Turn me on. And I can relate to that.

Hi. My name is Mrs. Wilma Schnips. I don't think this is Wilma. I think this is wildly. What was the name of the car music? We've had arguments about no playlists on over the edge before. I think they've been valid arguments. Take a guess. Tony Shirok. I'm just curious about just how good you are. Tony Shirok. No. I don't know then. Take another guess. Go ahead. No, well, you know, you play it about. It's all right, not tell. You think you're Mr. Smarty Pants. Go ahead. Guess again. Tony Shirok. No. Okay. Well, I wasn't, you know, anybody that I know who plays guitar. Oh, I think it is. Who was he local? New? No. L.A. Oh, I don't even know anybody from L.A. I don't go down there. Well, he's way before your time. Well, it's 1982. I was 12. He's even way before that time.
But he was doing that in 1982. I really don't think that you're being that accurate with this 1982 show. I'm sensing all kinds of historical and accurate. No, it's pretty darn close most of the time. I could be a year off once in a while, but that's very rare. One year off. Well, come on. You're basically playing wide and non-accurate, but that's fine. No, I'm not really. I'm really very close. I look it up. But okay, you want to know? I would like to know the name of the record. Seeing as you played about four consecutive minutes of it. It's Frank Zappa. Oh, God. I didn't want to know that here. Oh, yes, you do. He has a hit-a-box set out called Shut Up and Play Your Guitar, which are both his volumes of Shut Up and Play Your Guitar, which is... That is correct. And there's nothing on this box set of two or three discs or something, and there's nothing on it, but instrumental guitar work by Frank Zappa, who was... You played Good Frank Zappa, and I actually called up and wanted to know what it was, and it was Frank Zappa. Telling you, Wobbly, all the cuts are as good as that one, or better.
All right. Yeah, well, what volume was that? That was... Hang on. Huh? We? We're not supposed to do that. I didn't bring the box. I just brought the disc. Yeah, it's fine. Shut up and Play Your Guitar. It's well worth the expensive price. Listen, it is just great guitar all the way through. Amazing. And if you don't know much about Frank Zappa except the mother's invention, you will be amazed. You actually convinced me. It was a good track. It was really... You should hear the rest of it. That's not rare. On that record, every single one is good. Well, you know, I just hear all these bands that really, you know, Frank Zappa was pretty influential from 67 to 70, and I like all the bands that he influenced, and yet something prevents me. He was a great rock and roll guitar player when he did that. This was absolutely great, and nobody knows. Nobody knows. Well, some people know, but it's hard to trust them, but I trusted what you just played.
I'm through selling records now. Goodbye. Bye. I just had some things to say. First of all, Cypress Hill is about nine or ten years off. And second of all. No, no, not according to the listing in this CD. Oh, what? History of hip hop? No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm sorry. Which cut? Cypress Hill is thought of shotgun. Really? Yeah, that's, like, that's early 90s, buddy. Oh, I'm terribly sorry. Oh, geez, I'm so sorry. I thought we would not be remembering the 90s. Oh, my God, I ruined the show. You did? Oh, I'm so sorry. I thought I was free with John on this one. I'm very, very, very, very sorry. I'll try not to let that happen again, although I thought I was looking up the dates on the tracks, and I thought that was correct. But, oh, I'm so very, very sorry. I'm so very, very, very sorry.
I'm so very, very, very sorry. That's okay, it happens. No, really. People are going to nitpick about dates. Yeah. Yeah, why nitpick about it anyway? What the hell difference does it make? It's a variety, yeah. Come on, big deal. Radio entertainment service for us. Yeah, screw him. Did they call a 10-10? Complained to what's his face over there? Yeah. What's his name? You know, to go make your report to public. This is where you station. No, I mean, lots of times 10-10. They don't stick to the ear, they question. I think you're doing a fine, fine thing here, and I can't wait to go back to 1982. Thank you. I'm very, very happy. And I thought I would make myself available if you needed counseling in your sorrow. No, I think I'll be all right. I've just, the second caller discounted the first one in my mind. So people would commit suicide for making a mistake like that.
Normally, I know it is the superhuman strength that you must have to restrain yourself. Yeah, well, it's been done. All of this has been done. When are we going to get to something new, God damn it? If there was one? What old is new? Cut 17. Come give you a time. Come on. Everybody has restless. If you've got no place to go. Someone's always trying to tell them something they already know. So they're anger and reason of the flow. Don't make a lot of rock and roll.
All I know, more hammered trail. I heard somebody singing sweet and soul on the radio. Mohamed Tridio. I had told us God has problems too. He will surely take them out on you. What? What? What? I asked the government of California because I thought they knew I'd know. Was it better for all I had to sing to all I'd swallow? Throw it back to all the rock and roll. All I know, more hammered trail.
Where somebody's singing sweet and soul on the radio. Mohamed Tridio. Everybody's desperate. Try to make it sweet. We've all dead. Still can't pay the price of gasoline. And fit a last word last. Incomplete. Don't make a lot of rock and roll. All I know, more hammered trail. I heard somebody sing sweet and soul
on the radio. Mohamed Tridio. You've been up all night listening for his drum. I'm hoping I'm not jaining for her and I'm not just for my, just for my, just cut her. You know I heard the general whispering to his age and age. He watched the world all night. But it's hard to understand what you know. Was all this make a lot of rock and roll. All I know, more hammered trail. I heard somebody sing sweet and soul on the radio.
Mohamed Tridio. Mohamed Tridio. Mohamed Tridio. Mohamed Tridio. Mohamed Tridio.
