Le Show; 6/10/90

One, KCRW is National Public Radio for most of Southern California. What happens at 5 o'clock this afternoon, Julie? Uh, well, I think all things consider, I'll bring you all things considered. You will, thank you. I will. Okay. I'll receive it. There goes Julie, in 10 seconds, Pacific Daylight Savings Time, 10 a.m. time for a show, I'm here. Yes I am, despite all my best intentions, or worst, I can't figure my intentions out. I can't keep my intentions clear, but I am here.

And it's, you know, with a network that's so constantly expanding, ladies and gentlemen, I guess it would be theoretically possible to celebrate, um, an anniversary of some sort every week, because one of our stations joined us at some point along the line, um, virtually every time of the year. I'm not that kind of a guy, I'm not that given to festivity and celebration, I'm not that happy I'm on, but today does mark, uh, one that I do want to, uh, take special notice of because check me if I'm wrong on this, but of course, I'm not. So don't, um, one year ago, today, WGN Chicago, the initials incidentally for those of the around the country, do stand for world's greatest newspaper. It is owned by the Chicago Tribune WGN Chicago, the powerhouse of the windy city joined Lesho or vice versa. Now one of the things that really fascinated me about radio, when I was growing up, assuming that that, in fact, did happen, was that time on radio seemed, um, different from time

in real life. Time in real life was just a sloppy kind of goopy thing that loped along, um, uncontrollably. Time on radio was, was, and of course, now on television as well, is this incredibly precisely, um, doled out substance, you know, in absolute, precise increments of 15s and 30s and 60s and 15s and 30s and 60s and 120s, like cassettes. But it's time, see, that's the fascinating thing about it. And sort of the, the emblem of the precision with which radio would cut up time was, uh, the, um, little beep tone that every radio network and the biggest, the biggest time radio stations, the, the heftiest radio stations had at the top of the hour.

It was, it was automatic. If a program was going through the hour, it didn't make any difference. I think the only program for which the CBS time signal was ever turned off was, um, the broadcast of the New York Philharmonic when Toscanini was conducting. Otherwise, no matter what, it always just, it was like church bells, except, of course, it wasn't, uh, and I'm proud to say, ladies and gentlemen, that, uh, this fine tradition is being kept alive by WGN and, and to give the rest of you an idea of just how thrilling it can be, here is an air check from one of, uh, the recent broadcasts of this program to illustrate just how, just how that thing can work. Well, discussion, I have no desire to end today with anybody. Well, that certainly was, uh, edifying, wasn't it? No, it wasn't. Element? Hmm. Well, that's fast. Many, isn't it?

Ah. Here we go. And there we go. So, uh, do you remember where we were now? See, it wasn't worth it, wasn't, how well, welcome to the show. It gave me a thrill anyway when I first heard it. I saw it by myself. Hope there's a dove waiting to fly with me Cause I know that shells, no place for me to be Sometimes I've dreamed you to kiss

Sometimes I'm delirious I played hide and seek and found you I brought a small bouquet to give you Full of daydreams and cliches to place you I'm such a novice like this Forgive me, forgive me Sometimes I'm stranger to a kiss Sometimes I'm delirious Sometimes I've dreamed you to kiss Sometimes delirious, delirious I'll try a little harder every day

To take in what you say to me To give you what you want me to To love you like I should do Sometimes I'm stranger to a kiss Sometimes delirious Sometimes I'm stranger to a kiss Sometimes delirious, delirious I'll try a little harder every day I'll try a little harder every day Delirious

Delirious Delirious We secured a major stake in the fully synergistic equity that is the Rolling Stones We'll be the used to stay out all night long To make me cry, to done me wrong To break my eyes open, that's no lie

Tables turning out right down to cry Because I used to love them, but it's all over now Because I used to love them, but it's all over now Well, the chance to run around But every man in town spent all my money, playing a high-class game She put me out, it was a pretty how I cried Tables turning out right down to cry Because I used to love them, but it's all over now Because I used to love them, but it's all over now But I used to wake them on and get my breakfast in bed

But I got more achieved than he is my acrehead But now she's here and there, but every man in town Still trying to take me for that same old path Because I used to love them, but it's all over now Because I used to love them, but it's all over now But it's all over now Because I used to love them, but it's all over now

But I used to love them, but it's all over now Because I used to love them, but it's all over now Because I used to love them, but it's all over now But I used to love them, but it's all over now Because I used to love them, but it's all over now But I used to love them, but it's all over now I've been a food too long

I ain't gonna be food or more I should've seen the signs made Right on the wall When all of those other guys Started coming round the call It told me that you changed But that was just a lie When you said I was your only I was just another guy Well if I'm a water who pays the rent I gotta have a hundred percent Cause I've been a food too long I had you take it at home I've been a food too long I ain't gonna be food or more So is that you changed

But that was just a lie When you said I was your only I was just another guy Well if I'm a water who pays the rent I gotta have a hundred percent Cause I've been a food too long I had you take it at home I've been a food too long And I ain't gonna be food or more I've been a food too long I had you take it at home I've been a food too long Well I certainly made a hash of the opening segment of this program didn't I ladies and gentlemen First of all, the conclusion of all of that was simply Hey thanks for a great first year WGN Let's do it some more That was the point of that Not to linger on the time signal there So it seemed like an eternity didn't it? Hello welcome to it's I'm the

Hello it's the Lesho And part of the reason for the hash Aside from the fact that I had Arturo Toscanini conducting the New York Philharmonic on CBS When he really conducted the NBC Symphony But the point was that they did in fact suspend the time signal for the New York Philharmonic It just it wasn't because of Toscanini Or maybe it was, he was a fan See that was it, he was a fan of the And he used to listen to it Anyway the reason of course is because As I as I look straight ahead in front of me before me here at the Massive Lesho console There are so many, let's bring up the microphone and see if we can hear them There they are So many electric fans Moving their little standing Moving their stand up electric fans The kind you see in comedy clubs Moving their heads from side to side as if you know Watching a tennis match in a movie about aliens It's very reassuring

But there is a reason I have in my one of my hands a memo from One of the major domos here at the Lesho As you're all aware I'm reading now the air conditioning For the studios died last week As most of you will recall we were without air conditioning for nearly three weeks While our new cooling unit was installed on the roof It seems that the engineering firm hired to design the installation of the new unit Didn't consider the distance it would take to run piping from the roof down here to where we are Which is sighted as the principal reason the main cooling part burned up Just going to run those last few words for it bite for you again In case you missed the Bob and Ray expose on the miracle of gas refrigeration last week The principal reason that the main cooling part burned up Those involved in the project refused to repair the existing installation as it will just fail again That's why I don't clean my house

It'll just get dirty again It appears now the unit on the roof will be moved again back down to the ground At this time no one can give us an estimate of when the system might be functional again Until then think cool it says Burr, burr, burr, burr So before we do anything else I think a show business insight for the week From entertainment tonight's John Tesch You got it I mean at this something a cliche which really got a hand at the share And she's somebody who's really just like like Madonna You know she got real famous and then caught up whether it's really worked hard to be talented You can't work hard enough to be talented ladies and gentlemen Kids out there if you work hard enough you might one day be talented too Now if this is not in a nutshell what is happening to the entire information business in the United States of America I'm not your host

This is from the New York Times There has never been an annual report A corporate annual report like the one male to shareholders of Time Warner Incorporated last week The cover, a bright chartreuse, is decorated with images of a pair of lips and eye and ear, a bald head and a hand and vibrant day glow colors That were fashionable last year Instead of the corporate logo type there is simply the question Why emblazoned in inch high letters The 60 page report, the first joint annual statement by the entertainment and communications giant might be a clue of how the new company sees itself We think it's the most effective way to communicate that this is a brand new company Very different from the old Time Warner said Joan Nicolias Director of Investor Relations for Time Warner We wanted to catch people's attention The report bears little resemblance to the state financial tomes most investors have come to expect Instead of the usual formal portraits of executives and pictures of corporate headquarters, Time Warner's report relies on startling graphic images like full page collages printed on bright pink and orange backgrounds

On some pages lines of text are printed sideways or in a circle Miss Nicolias explained One of our goals was to make the annual report a reflection of the creativity that is a key to our businesses While some corporate identity and design experts applauded the company for being innovative They also criticized the report for appearing too frivolous And because the design made it hard to read I was shocked, said Alan Siegel, chief executive of an international corporate identity firm This annual report trivializes an important and valuable company The purpose of an annual report is to convey information in a concise and clear way This is completely incoherent The most confusing aspect of the report design experts said

On the operation of each of Time Warner's businesses, instead of the traditional text that outlines what happened during the last year Time Warner allotted to each business a two-page spread and broke the information into dozens of what designers called Factoids randomly placed on the pages We wanted to break the information up So the people other than securities analysts would actually read it, said Aubrey Balcand, the president of Frankfurt Gips Balcand The design and advertising company that created the report We made it a little like a game so people would get involved Design experts I wonder who these design experts are that they're quoting here Said that while presenting the complex information about a business in small doses might grab people's attention It was an ineffective way to inform them, no here, here they quote one Stephen Doyle, a founder of Drentel Boyle Partners, a design firm, said there's no order to how the separate pieces are arranged

You don't know where to start to read, where to go next, or how each bit relates to the next The goal isn't just to be decorative, but to shed light The report is sometimes so confusing it might as well have been printed in a foreign language Nonetheless, the report is receiving some good marks on Wall Street, said Mark Manson Let's be generous, no relation A media analyst for a securities firm, I loved it I read this cover to cover the minute it arrived It's very successful at communicating the impression that we're entering the age of mixed media I do that impression myself It refused the ticking time bomb of tension which could explode into a conflict You're walking right on the air, to shoot it up, to shoot it back

You're walking right on the air, walking right on the air This world is pretty easy and better place to live if everybody is mine You're walking right on the air, you're walking right on the air I do that impression myself, no relation which could explode into a conflict It refused the ticking time bomb of tension, which could explode into a conflict You're walking right on the air, walking right on the air I know what you feel is a good name and one is you know what I mean We're walking right on the edge.

We're walking right on the edge. We're walking right on the edge. Under beautiful text in time, by the way. We're walking right on the edge. We're walking right on the edge. Under beautiful text in time, by the way. We're walking right on the edge. We're walking right on the edge. We're walking right on the edge. We're walking right on the edge.

We're walking right on the edge. We're walking right on the edge. I'm late day today, but I'm afraid everything from now goes well. You might call it downhill, but no, no, no. No, no, no, no. Diffuse the ticking time bomb attention. No, no, no, no. Well, I turned up my radio, but all I heard is chicken chicken. See that man over there, he's got cold feet.

He marched to the drum, but the drummers did beat. He's fragile tonight, but he said he's clean. He's uncertain when he's speaking, but he knows what he means. He's shivering now, but he don't look cold. He said turn up the weather, and I do as I'm told. You know about him, take died a little inside. But he hadn't lived until he tried. He hadn't lived until he tried. The little death. The little death. See that woman over there, she's got cold feet. She marched to the drum, but the drummers did beat. She reached for the sky, the sky turned black.

Now she sang about her nails, her knuckles just cracked. It's strange, but nice to have a future or past. If you can't stand, they each have better turn up their gas. And out as if I know, and you can't stand right. She hadn't lived until she tried. She hadn't lived until she tried. The little death. The little death. Strange, but nice to have no future or past. If you can't stand, they each have better turn up their gas. And out as if I know, and you can't stand right.

She hadn't lived until she tried. She hadn't lived until she tried. The little death. The little death. The little death. The grand canyon.

It's been around for a long time. Kind of like me. You may remember I used to be president. And nothing made me prouder than this magnificent place with its echoes and shadows. It's a life like America's savings and loan associations. They've been through some rough weather. These canyon, they've come through it all looking mighty good. And when you invest in America's savings and loans, you feel safe. Because it's just like having your money in a government trust account. $650 billion strong. And getting stronger every day. Oh, it's a mighty big hole. The canyon that is. But it's a pretty good place to put your money. Your nearby savings and loan darn near has it beat. And if I didn't say it,

they couldn't pay me enough money to believe it. Well, see you later. I've got a date with a mural. America's savings and loans. You help them. Let them help you. America's saving money.

If you want the most of everything you do. In the shortest time, it means coming true. And no time at all makes you know where. Don't be simple process. Takes you down. Yeah, that's how you see. You're floating on there. Get back to where you should be. Where I'm going on there. I'm going on there.

Looking for release for limitation. There's nothing much without illumination. You're floating around with empty different parts. There's only one baby in this world. If I had time to say it, you're floating on there. If I had to where you should be. Where I'm going on there. Where I'm going on there.

If I had to where you should be. Where I'm going on there. Get back, get back, get back, get back. You're floating around with empty different parts. Well, this week's program does seem to be centering around information a little bit. The information revolution, you could call it, if you were trying to be exceedingly humorous. This from a recent advertising column, you know, because one of the persistent arguments among people who like to argue is whether what the effect of advertising is on the products and services that we buy and sell. Whether in fact advertising makes things more expensive or by making possible the incredible volume in which things can be manufactured because there's a mass audience for it makes things less expensive.

Well, the rhetoric flies back and forth. Sometimes you actually get a little glimpse into what's really going on. This is from a recent advertising column in the New York Times. Scores B has become the fifth largest brand of scotch in America without advertising. Scores B scotch has grown into the largest brand in California, indeed in the entire Western United States without advertising. While sales of domestic scotch declined by 4.6% last year, Scores B sales grew by more than 11% without advertising. Beverage analysts say that Scores B grew because its distributors took the money that would have gone into advertising and lowered the price. At a time when premium imports were quite high, they were one of the lowest priced scotches in the country said, Jerome M. Levy, the marketing director of Jobson's beverage alcohol group, which I had him in my role at X, quote, it was perceived by the consumer as a good value and a good product.

And because they liked the name and the label, they weren't afraid to buy the product even though the price was lower. But now they're going to take care of that, I guess. And we won't have to be afraid anymore, we won't have to face down that fear. For me, and I guess for everyone who really cares about television, the big story of the week, was not only the firing of Brent Musberger, but then the very, very classy way. He said, good night to us, you know, on the final NCAA basketball telecast of the year, and then the very, very, unclassy way. He followed that up with the interview with Sam Donaldson on Primetime Live, which was basically everybody's fantasy of wanting to tell their boss off on national television that they have an hour after being fired, except that he had four days to think about it. And in those four days just got angrier and angrier. He made me hate the head of CBS Sports, and I don't even know him, no, the man, you know.

But Brent was, so anyway, it was, it was pretty dramatic. They, of course Brent Musberger may be the end of the line of people who, like Howard Cosell in his heyday, were hired by networks to hype you on sports events that you were already watching. Much like the boxes of cereal have advertising copy that you only see when you get the box home. Hey, I bought it already. Why are you still selling me on this? Well, because maybe you'll buy it again. And similarly, a lot of these sports guys like Brent Musberger would continue to hype you on the importance of the game and the story behind the game while you were trying, in fact, to watch the game. It may be an era past. I don't know. There may be a new young Brent Brent Musberger wannabes waiting in the wings. However, that goes. I thought we should mark his passing from CBS by looking back one more time at the memories. The same way that CBS always does it.

I'm going to do this for you again, so we make it work. We're together. Welcome back to sunny Pasadena. I'm Brent Musberger. We're building up the Super Bowl 21. What are you going to do here, babe? One game at a time. That's how we learned to take it with you by our side. Who's ahead at the half? Living a dream so real, but no one could ever fake it, but dream that never dies. Station break, more at commercial. It just seems more revealing. So tell us the warmest water. There's not much I can say after an old bit, babe. You know, you know. I'm Brent Musberger today. Thank you, babe.

We're going to bend in champions. We're vulnerable. And there are whispers of a swing. We're going to right away for a CBS news upright. We're going to do the first five minutes. One game at a time. I'm Brent Musberger. So long. I'm Brent Musberger saying so long. I'm Brent Musberger.

Through the chill of winter, running across the frozen lake, promise I'm on his trail. All I talk against him, where the fight is to provide for. But one thing he must be for life. To build a home, survive. I'm the roadside. I'm just on an aging face. What's new makes a morning's face. New thing to the rain for. He's got two strong legs to die in. He's got lines keeping him alive. Build a world to life.

Standing in the form of gaming. All alone in the world that's changed. Running scared now for us to hide. In a land where he once stood with pride. But he'll find his way by the morning light. He's got lines keeping him alive.

I'm the roadside. I'm the roadside. Well, I think we can safely conclude now that growing a mustache doesn't help you with a jury of your peers.

In the Iran contra deal has either pled guilty or been found guilty. We're about misleading Congress as to various activities. I think he was convicted. I'm not sure. We mistakenly keep interpreting it as arms for hostages even though I know it wasn't because we keep hearing that. It was only a piece of paper or was it? Here, Mr. President, decide this too.

All right. What the heck is it, John? Oh, nothing. Just a... what? Just a finding. So many. From Director Charles Wick, whose nightmare on Pennsylvania Avenue set the standard for sheer factual terror, comes fear that stirs the deepest fears of our soul. The finding. Damn this January weather. Anyway, Mr. President, I think the policy is crazy. I don't think you can or should do it. All right, George. What do you think, John? Well, you know what I think, sir. It's what you think. It's what you assigned.

Oh, no. That can't be. Ed? Oh, yes, sir. It can be. But just ask Bill over here. I wouldn't worry about it, sir. Maybe it all never happened. Maybe it's all something you forgot to dream. It was you when every day was Friday the 13th. And only a few special people knew why. Or how? Where is it, John? You're too late, George. I destroyed it. But the devil is that. Oh, nothing. My secretary didn't get her hand out of the bird bag soon enough. That's all. You're mad, am I?

You can't lose a finding. Someone will find it again. Oh, I don't think so. You know, Ali has a way of losing findings so that they stay lost. Not since the shining has evil been so brilliant. Not since the howling has terror screamed so loud. Not until it really happened. Was it scary enough? A game screen partners in association with Lake Resources account number 12 presents a temporary release. You can always adopt a foundling. But there's no escape from the finding. Read it hard. Children under 18 must destroy their ID. My boss is very angry. My following. My guru. I am sure where I will go.

So what would you guess would be the most expensive piece of real estate ever in the

history of Beverly Hills? It's too late to take phone calls, but so far up to now it would be Marvin Davis's 20.25 million dollar purchase of Kenny Rogers home a few years ago, but hold the Guinness book will you please? David Geffen who just sold his record company for 545 million. Why that's only one one hundredth of one one thousandth of what it'll take to avail out the

Sanies and Loan business. David Geffen has offered 47.5 million for Jack Warners, nine acre Beverly estate, 47 million for nine acres. Yeah I wish I'd paid more attention in math class I could figure out what that was per acre. Brokers fiercely competing with each other to list the property said last week they were told they could not show it for ten days while the deal with Geffen was clinched. Set up Beverly Hills Realtor and I hear a movie idea in those three words they're trying to do it without a broker and I think that's a great disservice to the estate. He gets what he deserves. The Beverly Hills broker. Come in soon. Because that copies of the show were available, send a ten dollar check made out the century

of progress productions for each show you desire and tell us the date you want, the date of the show, not the person you want to hang out in the bar with. And send it all to La Show 1900 Pico PICO Boulevard, Santa Monica, California, 90405. All the fans are watching the volley and serve. I'm going to try to make the ending of the show slightly less of a hash than the beginning was. Ladies and gentlemen, please have the most exciting week of your life. Will you? Has a personal favor to me? Thank you so

much. And join me here next week at this very same time. We'll do it again. In the meantime think cool, won't you? Don't let your cooler burn down. The show comes to you from century of progress productions and originates to the facilities of SAS, a satellite service of KCRW Santa Monica, the home of the homeless. And they, like you, are going to stay tuned. I hope for Joe Frank with work and progress. He's next followed at noon by Roberto Lestengi, cafe Brazil at two o'clock, the reggae beat at five o'clock. All things considered coming up here today for your listening pleasure, your edification and entertainment. All of it here on KCRW Santa Monica Community Service of Santa Monica College at 89.9 FM National Public Radio for most of Southern California. Get that best record in the league, Lakers in 30 seconds, 11 o'clock.

And now from National Public Radio, Joe Frank, work in progress. This program is called Renta Family, part one. But I bet if I asked you to tell us what's going on on all things considered today, wouldn't you? Yes, I would. At five o'clock, we join National Public Radio with all things considered where remembering Marcus Garvey is the topic of today. At one time, his philosophy of self-determination attracted millions. And now 50 years after his death, Garvey's universal Negro improvement association still preaches racial pride that's later today on all things considered. Take it, Harry. I got it. In 12 seconds, it'll be 10 a.m. That's time for a little show.

So this week, you see, ladies and gentlemen, the attorneys for convicted felon, I guess, will be the proper two word description for former National Security Advisor, John Pointexter. The attorneys for convicted felon, John Pointexter, went before the judge and argued against jail for the former National Security Advisor, now a convicted felon. And the reason they argued against jail, aside from the obvious, is that the former National Security Advisor they said had suffered enough, ringing ebells. Those of us with long enough memories may

recall that this is a novel legal doctrine originally trotted out as a defense against prosecution indictment, impeachment, anything, except increased book sales for former President Nixon. That was the argument then. He suffered enough. It appears to be a legal argument limited to convicted or about to be impeached. White male Republicans, but I don't know, I haven't done all the research on it. There may be other applications of it. Anyway, for all of those of you who haven't suffered enough, hello, welcome to the show. Come back if you can understand it!

he's still a dream in a hive, he's still a dream in a hive, he's still a dream in a hive there any lessons of Vietnam we heard that phrase so darned often and I think the liberals sometime ago kind of quietly slinked away concluding to their dismay that there were no

lessons to Vietnam because there we were still getting involved in third world what do they call them some euphemism for small wars some kind of conflict that subcutaneous conflict or something like that we were still doing that but now look what the look what a mess of cottage the conservatives have to eat because for years they've said well it was Congress's fault of Congress, Congress bears the responsibility for cutting off the aid money in Vietnam that forced the end of the war that allowed the communists to take over hence the boat people hence misery and disaster check me if I'm wrong but Congress cut off aid to Nicaragua and they had an election and and the contras are disarming and it's going to be nice there are no lessons of Vietnam except make some movies about it and make some money so this

year the trite is the team with the injuries isn't that interesting I'm sure they'll rise above it aren't you it's actually gotten interesting all of a sudden thanks Portland and the good news in addition to the fact that Detroit is the team that's injured this year if that is good news ladies and gentlemen you know me I don't take sides but the real good news is that we've still got Canada to kick around it's not going to fall apart and join us in pieces can you be joined in pieces I guess you can there's going to be a Canada it was a it was a tense seven days for for me I'll tell you that look like look like the Quebecers are heading for the high country but they got the right to make everybody who speaks English within their borders feel real bad and that's going to hold the country together I do believe because we need it we need our Canada you know you really can't

make all the jokes that you'd like to about Mexico because of the sensitivities so we need our Canada I'd like to thank in the correspondence file this week and I guess I should protect the identity of this gentleman in case he was doing something even notier than it seems so I won't read his name but he lives in Venice California frighteningly close to the Lachodome here and he sent me no real nothing that really qualifies as correspondence just just a page not even clipped sort of torn out of a magazine and each side of the page is a picture of well let's see on one side it's a half naked extremely fat woman and on the other side it's a completely naked one so it's like panties on panties off I

don't know what the what the moral or the point or the what what were you driving at sir you know who you are what was what were you driving at there is hope for all of us ladies and gentlemen mayor coach of New York City you may recall was a roundly soundly defeated for in his bid for reelection last year was the last year already yeah I guess it was and uh... I guess this is something that that can uh... help tied uh... washington mayor Marion Berry through his his time of travail although I think he suffered enough having to do all that coke but mayor coach has risen phoenix like from the ashes well new york like from the ashes actually i was in new york this week and uh... saw that he is now the poster boy

posing in full page ads in the new york post for a contest that the post is running called second chance lotto if you were as so unfortunate as to have not winning non-winning lottery tickets you can uh... send those into the post and uh... you know take another million to one shot that you win something and the man who personifies that second chance is mayor ed coach there's hope for all of us you know maybe you were wondering whatever happened to art flaming the original host of the original jeopardy well last night he was hosting the miss mizuri beauty pageant and saying things like this you know how thrilled we all were when debi-turner wild the judges last september and won the miss america title and how we love the unique and melodic sounds of the marimba

well ladies and gentlemen tonight miss america debi-turner will further show us her musical talents with a patriotic medley the marimba was a non-sequitur there were no marimba's in the patriotic medley i don't know how that got in there but that's art flaming ladies and gentlemen playing his own second chance lotto uh... and and uh... and uh Uh and ah A moment on the table of the bar And I made a speech to see And I came to the bed to see The ring of the button I gave it to me

I'm going to do it Pastel and a good I'll tell you You're four hours a day I'm going to the bathroom The sun in the middle of the wall And the moon is going to be the result To stop And then The body is standing on the floor Instead of taking a picture of a goal Instead of taking a picture of someone And a silence, you come from the same Without a price, it was each one on your side Thinking of a woman or a team I read the body on the floor And I closed it My window is in front of the cream And came to the bathroom The ring of the button I gave it to me I'm going to do it Pastel and a good You're four hours a day I'm going to the bathroom And the moon is going to be the result

To stop And then The ring of the button The ring of the button I gave it to me Pastel and a good I'll tell you You're four hours a day I'm going to the bathroom The sun in the middle of the wall And the moon is going to be the result To stop And then The body is standing on the floor I was in Washington DC This past week As well as the big Rod and Apple I was in our nation's capital Ladies and gentlemen Basically Well, basically to try to Try to set up my own savings alone You've got to get some stuff approved back there Because it seems like such a good business to be in right about now The feds will pick up all your losses So why not? Anyway, I noticed some interesting things While I was in our nation's capital One is that There is no feeling

Of a quizzicalness Quite like That that comes when you are present At a news event Or what turns out to be a news event And then you go home and watch it on the news And they get it wrong Boy, that just saps the credulity right out of you Just sucks it out of you Like a One of those portable Vax In the In the case that I refer to I was at the There was a memorial ceremony At on the west lawn of the capital Commemorating the first anniversary of A little bit of nasty business at Tiananmen Square And I went home and watched it Just a coverage on ABC Where they keep reminding us More people, more Americans get their news Than from any other source So this might be Matter for some concern

And in the two sentences they devoted to this Because it was a big news day The summit had just ended and everything So there were a couple sentences about this ceremony One of which was Among the spectators At the memorial was Former Chinese student leader Chiling She was there But she was the main speaker Ladies and gentlemen Among the spectators was the main speaker You see what I'm saying The other thing that And probably connected more than I understand By a threat of Appropriateness The other thing that I noticed In Washington I was privileged To be backstage In the green room At the David Brinkley show And what a nutty affair that is With a catering and everything And you know there's It's a if you haven't seen it It's a Sunday one of those Sunday morning Important shows with important people

Saying things that they hope are important Enough to get on the news And that maybe the news will get right So among the spectators That is to say the people speaking On the Brinkley show last week was Ganadi Gerasimov The Russian spokesman The chief of staff Big deal Whenever the guests are on being Interviewed Through the whole show There's guests being interviewed And the green room is quiet With little whispers People have to say something Because people want to hear With these gentlemen Of or near power Have to say But the last 10 minutes of the David Brinkley and usually one other newsman Or woman And the minute that that starts It's like a bell rang And the green room becomes Louder than Most noisy restaurants in most big cities It's amazing it's like

Everybody's saving up every shred Of trivial conversation they have Until the panel of news people starts And then nobody wants to hear that Because in Washington it's so Finally calibrated People think you have anything resembling Power They're going to listen to you Otherwise See at the wine bar The big Other story I think of the week Was down in Florida Where depending on whom you believe Which news report you believe Either six or nine Law enforcement officials To arrest a record store owner For selling copies of an album By two live crew A rap group whose album had been found Obscene by a Florida judge And the arrest took place Either the six or the nine

Either they were spectators Or they were arresting officers With the news thing But this occurred in Fort Lauderdale Which is in Broward County Now I understand that the sheriff of Broward County has taken certain steps To make it clear to the public That Though he rose to the challenge And dispatched the expeditionary force To arrest the record store owner He is not the sheriff of Broward County Not per se Anti-rapp As a matter of fact, I think he's put out his own His own rap deal to make that clear This is sheriff of Broward County talking If you're selling Smuddy rap It's time to get walking There's no use in suing No use squapping The judge says I can come in and hush If you are free speech

Go to rush Go to rush Go to rush Go to rush Go to rush Go to rush Now right-saken people They're taking a stand Giving each other a Kept in hand Wapping up to crap That spread all over this land Now your rights stop They're my rights Crush it If you want free speech You better go to rush Better go to rush Go to rush Go to rush Go to rush Go to rush Go to rush Go to rush From museums to movies to record stores We're cleaning up

America's Mores A mind is a terrible thing to have without doors So don't make me come in And cuff and cush you If you want free speech Just go to rush Go to rush Go to rush Go to rush Go to rush Go to rush Now don't get me wrong I'm not against rap But every bad kid needs an occasional slap And there's plenty of clean art Over the map If you make boo-boo I'm gonna come slush it If you want free speech Take a slow boat to rush it Go to rush it Go to rush it 12 o'clock at night

You walked out door You told me baby You walked out to the drugstore Mama in my mind I knew your was lying Got a drugstore closed Got a car on some line See the song you're willing To cross the fence I heard you telling me That I ain't got no sense But will you be there And have such a track Try to put me in a trick bag Walked in my front door I heard my black nose in my head Got my window Somebody's taking it on the lamp Now we had a fight

Mama Did you wait until today But I'm no good to sonnet along But I saw kissing with y'all Golden pants I heard you telling me That I ain't got no sense And get a wish you've been acting And have such a track Try to put me in a trick bag Well obviously if I traveled to the other coast I come back with a story of The lights of air travel for you ladies and gentlemen
