I had the urge to play this piece after seeing a classic
moment the other day of a semi 18 wheeler going
down main street with a young lad standing on the side
of the road pumping the air as the rig was going by.
Yes, in case you were wondering, the little boy got
the typical response from the driver…an empty bottle
of whiskey thrown at him with a one fingered salute
to back it up.
It seems to me that the back of your mouth is not a
good place to nurse a crippled gopher back to health…

This is hilarious, and just a little on the cruel side.
But then again, if you can’t make fun of human beings that
aren’t as fortunate as you are then what’s then point of life?
I’m the president of jellybeans!

A classic by Kathleen Madigan!
I used to belong to a gym, I know first hand about
the techniques involved in getting you to be a member.
Kathleen will have none of it!

Some great lines here…

This is a real treat!
Officially, this piece is THE most sought after
recording on my Wish List.
I did eventually find it but it took me well over
twenty years to do so, and even then in a very
round about way.
I had a bootleg of this gem but it didn’t sound
very good and I hate using boots on the show
so I thought I’d try to find a good copy of it.
Almost twenty five years later and I got it from
a really cool blogger from Australia!
Mr. Weird and Wacky I owe you big time!
The band is named Farquahr, they were a
great bar/club band in the New England area in
the 60’s and 70’s.
They are long gone, but this classic stuff will live
on as long as my grubby little fingers can push
the play button on my go-to tablet.
I was using an iPad but had to shift to an Acer
unit due to editing and syncing issues.
The lyrics are well written, performance is divine,
and the vibe is just wonderful.
I live for this junk, truly…

This wonderful chunk of non-sequitur is by
The Congress of Wonders, from the 1970
“Revolting” recording.
They were a real treat in the late 60’s and early 70’s
with their counter cultural approach to humor.
They mocked the Vietnam war, politics, rock and roll,
and, of course, life itself.
A lot of it is pretty dated at this point but there are
two cuts off of this record that I find very funny and
love to play on the show, Star Trip, which is a parody
of the original Star Trek television series and this
particular piece.
Karl Truckload and Winslow Thrill at their best…
