    Thumb x-ray

    Like A Sore Thumb

    Returning once more to the seemingly bottomless well (or hell) of his roman a clef, Steve Post reminisces about his days in the late '70's when he served as newscaster for an otherwise all black soul station. Steve goes mano y mano with the station's prima donna and loses two out of three falls, which he finds exciting. Additional ephemera include a rant on being "follically challenged." Most of the program is declaimed in italics, and Steve's choice of music does nothing to relieve the strain.
