Happy Sunday all Happy October...this weekend Fall came for the first time...
An interesting lineup with some strong content...not sure I care to listen to the Nuremberg Trials...and can skip Fibber...a Marijuana Plot on Judy and Jane from ‘42 sounds interesting....Information Please can be good, often Fred Allen is a bore...Blacklisted, Hollywood on Trial now sees more like vindication than a warning...with a strong 10pm hour, the Whistler (which should be the ending show) and a Jack Benny show from Cairo...
How’s it going?
“”9:30 p.m. Blacklisted

Pro-communist agit-prop from 1996? So much for the classic radio format!
Yea, Murray is a SJW POS who’s hurt the Big Broadcast. What can I say.
Yeah, he can stick his Hollywood blacklist in his pipe and smoke it!
Hi, Vision! I hope you’ve had a good week. It’s time for Cruisin’ The Coast! Thousands of beautiful classic cars will be roaming the coast all this week.
Murray’s brought subversiveness to the Big Broadcast.
Are you into classic cars?
Yes, I’m into many things “classic.” Music, radio shows, cars... :-)
What gets your engine going?
Nitrous oxide. :-D
Just kidding. I just like the classic cars, none in particular. There are so, so many riding around now, most of them just beautiful. Cars today look amorphous and alike. Yesterday’s vehicles had a lot of character. And chrome. And steel. And V-8s.
A friend of mine many years ago bought a used 1952 Plymouth, I think it was, and put a load of starting ether into it. Wow. That car ran like a monster that day, then the engine fell apart. LOL
Then he got a Mercury. So as to give it that lowered look, he drove around with a chunk of curb stone in the trunk. I don’t know what that did to his springs, but one can guess.
Chester shot!
The Big Broadcast is trying to normalize Marijuana and defend communism tonight.
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Great stories, Sparklite! :-D
I remember my good friend, who was 40 years older than me back in the 90s, being silly saying, “I had four on the floor and a fifth under the seat, in case I got thirsty.”
Oh, we missed that! Of course, we’re on 20th Century Radio. Murray has long since lost us forever.
Who is that to the right of George Burns? Jack Benny, maybe?
To George Burns’s right, I should say.
Oh, sh!t, never mind. You captioned it. LOL
