it's been a tough week already.  Hello torpedo bats -- wouldn't everyone be happier if they were torpedo cats?  Goodbye Val Kilmer, thanks for "Top Secret" (and perhaps to a lesser extent for driving not one, but 2 successive directors to distraction on "The Island Of Dr. Moreau").  Hello plans for a 2nd Sully From Godsmack autobiography (clearly the world's paper shortage resulted in vol. 1 being less than fully realized).  In the midst of all this turbulence --- cultural, political,, etc., there is one constant in this irreparably fucked up world and that's The Radio Hour That Feels Like Two Hours.  You know that every week, I'm going to help you make sense out of the senseless.  OK, that's completely untrue., it;s more like you're going to help me make cents out of the senseless after EVR cuts me in for a percentage of the underwriting windfall that's long overdue.  The important thing is that we're helping EACH OTHER (and after all this time, I it's time you finally reciprocated).
