Stuttering Boy
Sunday, September 24, 2006
Steve Post tells a story of how the dread stuttering affliction suffered by his brother gained him the support of television star Garry Moore. The Broken News covers the birds and bees; and the Musical Necropolis inducts two Mississippi delta blues musicians, Jessie Mae Hemphill and Fred Myers.
Cave Man
Sunday, September 17, 2006
Steve Post has been thinking again, and that’s never a good sign, as he would be the first to tell you. The Broken News reviews a number of items that are probably better ignored, ranging from baby Neanderthals to the Baby Boom. And The NO SHOW inducts three new members to its Musical Necropolis: saxophonist Dewey Redmond and trumpeters Malachi Thompson and Maynard Ferguson.
9/11 & New Orleans
Sunday, September 10, 2006
Following The Broken News, which features Russian sex-doll river-rafting racing and the rules infractions thereof, The NO SHOW reflects on the shifts in public perception regarding the destruction of the World Trade Towers in 2001 and the New Orleans disaster of 2005. Some parallels are drawn. Not a lot of laughs, but the music is terrific.
Miss Sperba
Sunday, September 03, 2006
The NO SHOW (Apply directly to the medulla oblongata!) kicks off its fifth year with a recollection by Steve Post of his fifth grade teacher, Miss Sperba. We also review some Broken News stories from the summer, including dancing with dead pigs in England and the smoking ban in France. (Well, maybe a ban, maybe not so much of a ban; who can or will say?) And we induct Pink Floyd’s Syd Barrett into the Musical Necropolis.
