    Grated Cheese

    Steve is really cheesed this week. (So what else is new?) It has largely to do with his hatred for pumpkin and all things made of pumpkin and all references to pumpkin. (Peter, Peter, Pumpkin-Eater is his least-loved children’s rhyme, for instance.)

    Steve also reminds us that today – the Saturday after Thanksgiving Day – is Misgiving Day on The NO SHOW: a day in which we rue our excesses, our sins of commission and omission, and the overall shallowness of our existence not to mention the gluttony of the recent holiday.

    In other business, Steve inducts Mothers of Invention drummer, Jimmy Carl Black, into The NO SHOW Musical Necropolis. And since this is the last program in this series, Steve pleads piteously for you to be listening again when he returns on February 7. (He also pleads piteously for a government bailout. We’ll let you know how that goes.)
