Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from April 18, 2014 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

Okay, then, but Burl shouldn't have been such an insect lookist. Or sing to the HUAC.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:45pm
Gaylord Fields:

But if Pete Seeger can forgive Burl for naming names, so can I. But his talking smack about bugs, I can never countenance!

I even stopped watching Lainie Kazan films. That's how committed I am to the cause.

Uncle Michael:

That's committed...and you should be!
