She Makes Me Feel Big

The Fools with a tune that I’ve seen them play live
with a zeal and a half.
I mean they REALLY pour their souls into their
performances and this particular song stood out.
They gave me a great interview, performed like
nothing I’ve ever seen before and gave the
audience an encore that blew me away.
Some low level profanity contained within.
You know the procedure, coat all the Puritans
in the house with Carbonite and play this song LOUD…


The Sheriff is Near

A superb scene from the classic Mel Brooks
flick, Blazing Saddles.
Clevon Little shines in this one.
The acting and writing are one of a kind, in that
you will never see a film like this again.
Mel Brooks was, and still is, a godlike filmmaker
who had the singular ability to get flicks like this done.
A parody…a satire…a hilarious movie no matter how
you look at it.
Count Basie with his entire orchestra playing in the
desert alone is worth the price of admission!
A collaboration between Mel and the legendary
Richard Pryor make this an unforgettable must see…

Comedy 101 Radio 6.11.20

Started with an animal block and a couple of superb
pieces by Kellen Erskine and Monty Python.
Kellen is a real breath of fresh air, cerebral and
snarky as all hell, a very clever stand-up comedian.
The late, greats Graham Chapman and Terry Jones
with some interesting observations about a certain
farm animal that ain’t too bright…usually.
Things got weird after that.
I burned some books.
Mike Baldwin with a pretty funny piece about
loading up the pantaloons.
I suppose funny depends on what side of the pants
you happen to be on.
Some classic pieces.
Cy Amundson tells a mean story, excellent stuff.
Onward and upwards…
