On a day when I played Throwing Muses and Throwing Snow, I wanted to throw things. I was angry online and in life--strangely, though, not in therapy, where my counselor was telling me that "effective anger" (what is that?) is something I need to find in myself if I am ever to tap into another, more pleasant emotion. Great. During this program I was, admittedly, too busy reading (and writing?) bad tweets to keep my show on the rails--sorry, Telescopes and Brian Harris!--or answer a listener text. Someone asked me who Kenny Ritter (of "Kenny Ritter Memorial Studio" fame) was.
In my defense, that is something I used to know but no longer do. I think perhaps he was one of the original WRFI board members, back when the station was simply a repeater. He seems to have been a much-loved local activist of some sort, and a relative (or in-law?) of at least one occasional WRFI personality. Maybe a current board member, or anyone with more expertise than me (that's a large pool) could chime in here.
I should mention, before I forget, that I was graced by Drummer John's interventions--suggesting Ozric Tentacles, whom I had never heard (!), and telling me that I was helping him "transcend." I didn't ask what. It's his business, I guess.
A realization: I let the last program pass without noting that it was a milestone. I think that maybe this is good? Program 450 marked about 900 hours of airtime, which, I have always estimated, had to be the approximate amount of time I put in at my last radio gig. So I think that by every possible measure we can now consider that the rehearsal and this "the real thing," god help us. It's bewildering to ponder, and I have so many conflicting feelings about that time and its relationship to this one. Take that, therapist!
