Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from March 17, 2017 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.

Listener Robert:

It's been like this every time since I've been able to follow WFMU Marathon income via the bar graph. Seems the supporters have a sense of the dramatic, & withhold their pledges until the closing hours. I notice the rate of increase has increased a lot today.

The 1st 48 hours, the $ were coming in fast compared to previous years, and I attributed it to the improved economy. It was remarkable on a % basis considering the withdrawal of JM in the AM from the acc't and the increase in the goal. So I remarked here. By a week later I was afraid I'd jinxed it.

Always makes me nervous because I can afford to donate so little myself, but feel so attached to so much of the programming.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:49pm
Wendy del Formaggio:

Hey, can anyone help me identify all the characters that make up the pledge pyramid on the front page? I see Abe Vigoda, Fidel Castro, maybe Sharon Jones, Gene Wilder, Carrie Fisher, R2D2 (duh), and I get the theme, but I can't ID the others. Help!

Wendy, it's not a pyramid, that's just perspective. They're short people in a chorus in the Alps. House L-R, front to back, it's Token Hispanic Lady, Mr. Whipple, Token Swiss Yodeler, Ayatolla Khameini (note spelling), Zeppo Castro, Abe Lincoln, Token Black Lady, William S. Burroughs, David Wright, Betty Boop (2-color process), and Robby The Robot.

Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka! Michael Jackson with a stick is actually Alan Rickman as the Harry Potter character Snape, I believe.

In the 70s in Michigan, there was somebody — popularly dubbed the billboard bandit — who would travel about and cut down or torch billboards along the highway. A kind of folk hero.
