SNRM: Happy New Hampshire

Thu, 10 Jan 2008 14:44:15 GMT

In the first real Rage Machine of the year, Spike talks about the race for the Whitehouse; Hillary battles Obama battles Huckabee battles McCain battles gawd knows who next. Why is Hillary skeevy and untrustworthy? Why is John McCain skeevy and untrustworthy? Why did John Edwards and Mike Huckabee win Iowa but get trounced in New Hampshire? Spike, as usual, has all the answers. Because he’s awesome.

Also! MPs in Britain – already paid extremely well – say that there’s no money to give to working stiffs living paycheck to paycheque, but are more than happy to awards themselves a 2% pay increase. You know, for all that good work they’ve been doing.

Furtherwards of a talkingness on this feature-length edition, why you didn’t hear the two shows that happened last week, how Old Spike gave his son a fever blister from three and a half thousand miles away, the battle over the next home video format and other geekery, shenanigans, goings on, bedlam and “antics”. For a penny.

All that and the podcast-within-a-podcast from Brendan the Iremonger (at iremongerlives.blogspot.com) and the real story of the Jobbie Circus, including the new anonymous website www.thejobbiecircus.com and Spike’s switch to Linux.

PHILLY SEEKS 10,000 BLACK MEN TO GUARD STREETS

Mon, 24 Sep 2007 05:57:12 GMT

Philadelphia Police Commissioner Sylvester Johnson is seen in Philadelphia, April 2, 2007. The city’s embattled police chief, acknowledging that police alone cannot quell a run of deadly violence, called on 10,000 black men to patrol the streets to reduce crime. Johnson plans to introduce the “Call to Action: 10,000 Men, It’s a New Day” program Oct. 21.(AP Photo/Matt Rourke, File)The city’s embattled police chief, acknowledging that police alone cannot quell a run of deadly violence, has called on 10,000 black men to patrol the streets to reduce crime.

Sylvester Johnson, who is black, says black men have a duty to protect more vulnerable residents. He wants each volunteer to pledge to work three hours a day for at least 90 days.

“It’s time for African-American men to stand up,” Johnson told the Philadelphia Daily News, which first reported the story Wednesday. “We have an obligation to protect our women, our children and our elderly. We’re going to put men on the street. We’re going to train them in conflict resolution.”

The Spike Nesmith Rage Machine, May 16th 2007

Thu, 17 May 2007 13:59:36 GMT

Spike drops a bombshell about the future of the “Rage Machine”. Wow.

Of a talkingness this week, our hero kills something until it’s “deeeeaaaaaad” but still fails to impress his coworkers, there’s updates on the little girl lost in Portugal and why it’s getting out of hand, the British Ministry of Defence have come out and said that your kids are less valuable than a do-nothing, red-faced, anachronistic figurehead, so they won’t be sending Prince Harry to Iraq. Surprise? Noooo. Also on the agenda, XM Satellite Radio’s decision to can shock jocks Opie and Anthony for a month and whether this has an effect on free speech, there’s a ten month old kid in Illionis with a gun permit (really!), Spike gives us a lesson in impersonating Tony Blair and Gordon Brown and he gets “so blazingly angry that my face will go red, my fists will shake and the red mist will descend” about something.

Podsafe music this week by Megaphone, singing the very excellent “Not Your Enemy”.

The Ghost and the Rock

Thu, 05 Apr 2007 16:03:00 GMT

"The Ghost and the Rock" is our retelling of storyteller Jim Flanagan’s retelling of a ghost story about Gettysburg. We met Jim at a PTO Convention in Valley Forge, and he allowed us to use this tale, called "The Shadow in the Back Yard", from his book "The School of Scary Stories ". This little yarn, which takes place in the present,but involves a classic ghost story motif, makes an important point about respecting and preserving history.

Bicycling through History And history was very much a part of our experience this week in Pennsylvania, as we (Dennis and Kimberly) took in about 80 miles of territory on our bikes while Zephyr was practicing and performing with his band in North Carolina.

First, there was Valley Forge itself: we toured on bikes through the park where General George Washington’s troops spent a miserable winter in 1777-78 defending the area from British invasion. Although Washington himself, and his wife Martha, were considerably more comfortable in the house that served as the army’s headquarters, and which today is open to the public.

Then we pedaled from the town of Plymouth into downtown Philadelphia and had our lunch by Independence Hall, where delegates spent a sweltering summer in 1776 hammering out the beginnings of the new nation. The Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution were all signed in this picturesque building that recently guest-starred in the movie "National Treasure". We also dropped in to visit the fabled Liberty Bell, just across the street.

On to Lancaster, where we joined our first ever group bicycle tour for a quaint ride through the countryside, past many Amish farms.

And then there was Gettysburg, the site of another important military operation in another landmark war, nearly a century after Valley Forge. And whereas the soldiers at Valley Forge had to deal with insufficient clothing in a bitterly cold winter, the soldiers at Gettysburg wore stifling wool uniforms in the middle of July. It was the bloodiest battle of the Civil War, killing about 50,000 troops. No wonder there are so many ghost stories in the area. And with those wool uniforms, no wonder the ghosts are so restless!

Happy Listening,

Dennis ("dad" and "son") and Kimberly ("mom", "daughter" and "geologist") Goza

What Other People Think

Thu, 22 Mar 2007 04:01:00 GMT

"What Other People Think", a story from the Grimm Brothers, warns about the dangers of paying too much attention to naysayers. It’s a yarn that can be found in many variants in many cultures, usully with hilarious results. We perform this tale with the aid of some special guest stars: Wylie, Nash and Trina, all teenage friends of Zephyr’s in North Carolina, as we spend a couple of weeks in and around Winston-Salem and Greensboro. Winston-Salem Winston-Salem is the combination of the cities of Winston and Salem, which joined forces in 1913. Salem was settled in 1766 by members of the Moravian sect, who are still active in the community. This part of the double municipality includes Old Salem, a living history center that features many historic buildings that have been preserved/ restored/ whatever they do to them. And (shhh!) it may be a well-kept secret, but if you’re an avid cyclist and you do some poking around, you’ll find an excellent scenic bike trail around Salem Lake, as we did. Happy Listening.

Clever Tom and the Leperchaun

Thu, 15 Mar 2007 04:01:00 GMT

"Tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree"... It’s been the title of a hit song, and a popular saying associated with several folk-type stories about returning convicts, soldiers and others. It probably inspired the current custom of posting stickers of yellow ribbons to show support for troops. But chances are it all started with an Irish tale about a leprechaun. And it may originally have been a red garter rather than a yellow ribbon. (Come to think of it, did you know that leprechauns themselves originally were dressed in red rather than green?) This week we present "Clever Tom and the Leprechaun", a classic yarn about a fellow who thinks he’s about to snag the treasure of one of the Wee Folk, but is not quite as clever as he thinks.

We come to you from Montgomery, Alabama, a city rich in history. Currently the state capital, it was also the site of the first Confederate White House. It was the home of country music legend Hank Williams, and legendary novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald. (While stationed here in the army in 1919, Fitzgerald met his future wife Zelda—an encounter that inspired his short story "The last of the Belles").

But it was the city’s role in the civil rights movement that really secured its place in modern history. In 1955, a 42-year-old seamstress named Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat to a white man, as African-Americans were expected to do at that time (a refusal motivated in part because she’d had a previous incident with the same driver), and after being arrested, agreed to become a guinea pig for a court case testing the city’s segregation of the buses. The arrest sparked a year-long boycott of municipal buses, and a civil rights drive headed by a 26-year-old Baptist minister named Martin Luther King, Jr.

Happy Listening, Dennis ("Tom"), Kimberly (Narrorator) and Zephyr (the "Leperchaun" – catch him if you can!)

Tappin the Land Turtle

Thu, 08 Mar 2007 05:01:00 GMT

Do they give tornadoes names as they do tropical storms? We’d like to propose the name Tappin for the tornado that we recently dodged in Alabama.

Tappin the Land Turtle "Tappin the Land Turtle" is an African-American fable about a turtle whose family was hungry because times were so hard. But he noticed that the uppity eagle had plenty of food for his babies. So he asked the eagle about this, and enlisted the eagle’s help in finding more food. But when he incurred the eagle’s displeasure, he ended up on a magical adventure that brought him even more abundance than he’d anticipated.

It’s a tale that goes back to the days of slavery and incorporates several reminders of that era: the hunger, the separation of "higher" and "lower" classes (the turtle and the eagle) and the dream of a life of plenty, symbolized bt the cornucopia-like dipper. In some versions of the story, Tappin returns to the Sea King and receives an enchanted cowhide, which, as it turns out, whips everyone (like the overseer on a plantation) and causes the markings on Tappin’s shell, like those on every turtle thereafter.

Hiding from Tornadoes in Alabama We thought about this story because we were rather like a turtle ourselves when the tornado whipped through. We’d just performed a couple of shows in Ozark, AL., and heard that severe storms were on the way. Keeping abreast of the developments by listening to the radio, we realized that the twister would bypass us, but we could get hit by hail. So we took refuge under the canopy of a car wash—our own turtle shell. (But we weren’t the only ones who got this idea.)

We were thoroughly impressed by the work done by the staff of local radio station KMX, who handled the crisis calmly and efficiently, providing up-to-the-minute information and putting in some very long hours. Visit the station’s website for the local take on the disaster, and some information about how you can contribute to relief efforts.

George Washington Carver Trivia We also talk about Dr. George Washington Carver, a former slave who settled in Alabama and became one of the world’s great scientists, despite not even obtaining a high school education until his twenties. How many products did Dr. Carver derive from the peanut? The answer may astonish you!

And be the first to hear the news about an upcoming Roller Coaster Tycoon project that Zephyr is working on for the web site.

Happy Listening,
