WA2K Radio is now on the air

Ever see Vincent Price and Robert Morley in Theater of Blood?

My last dog was part of the family. After three or so years I still grieve her loss. I can be tolerant of cultures that eat differently than Americans, but I don't want it here.

Francis, I think perhaps if we were all hungry enough, we would eat anything, hence the amerinds eating dog meat.

If you have ever read Alive, listeners, you will understand.

My goodness, here is that George with Vincent Price and Suzette. tsk, tsk.

Well, folks. I must trudge to the local market and pick up some stuff. UhOh!

I've read Alive, I hope than do not happen to me...

Uh oh, just a matter of time before Hawk arrives with some cannibal jokes.

Hey, all. Ahem. Now it's time for my joke

A man was walking down the sidewalks of old New York, and spotted a nun looking at The Stork Club. She stopped him and asked:

Pardon, sir, is this some sort of bird sanctuary?
Well, sister, have you never been in this cafe?
No
Come on in and I'll buy you some lunch.
Thank you. I would like that.
They were seated by the head waiter who offered them the menu.
The nun asked the man:

What is this martin eye?
The man smiled and said, "Would you like to try one, sister?"

Upon which the nun said that she would love the experience.

The man signaled the bar tender and said with a wink.

The sister here would like to have a martin eye.

Upon which the bar tender replied:

Oh, no. Is that old nun in here again?

Francis, Alive was one powerful book as well as a short story by Jack London called "To build a Fire". The dog plays a different role in that tale.

Did I beat Bob, George? :wink:

Pacco, close your ears, boy.

I've seen horse on good restaurant menus in italy too.
Well, italy and france have had people starving in wartime within my lifetime. But I doubt they think of horse as starvation food. Tell us more if you wish, Francis.

and when the laughter died. .....

Guess I'll never make it as a stand up comedian, folks.


Sweet dreams of you
Every night I go through
Why can't I forget you and start my life anew
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

You don't love me, it's plain
I should know I'll never wear your ring
I should hate you the whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

Sweet dreams of you
Things I know can't come true
Why can't I forget the past, start loving someone new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you.

Patsy Cline

I'm sure he will, Osso.

What It's Like
Everlast

We've all seen a man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
The hair on his face is dirty, dread-locked, and full of mange
He asks a man for what he could spare, with shame in his eyes
"Get a job you ******* slob," is all he replies
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues

Then you really might know what it's like... (4x)

Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom that said he was in love
He said, "Don't worry about a thing, baby doll
I'm the man you've been dreaming of."
But 3 months later he say he won't date her or return her calls
And she swear, "God damn, if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls."
And then she heads for the clinic and
she gets some static walking through the door
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner
and they call her a whore
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
'cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose

Then you REALLY might know what its like(4x)

I've seen a rich man beg
I've seen a good man sin
I've seen a tough man cry
I've seen a loser win
And a sad man grin
I heard an honest man lie
I've seen the good side of bad
And the downside of up
And everything between
I licked the silver spoon
Drank from the golden cup
And smoked the finest green
I stroked the fattest dimes at least a couple of times
before I broke their heart
You know where it ends, yo, it usually depends on where you start

I knew this kid named Max
He used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
He liked to hang out late
he liked to get ****-faced and keep the pace with thugs
Until late one night there was a big gun fight and Max lost his head
He pulled out his chrome .45, talked some ****, and wound up dead
Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of this pain
You know it crumbles that way
at least that's what they say when you play the game
God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose

Then you really might know what it's like...
Then you really might know what it's like...
Then you really might know what it's like...to have to lose


Because I Got it Like That
The Jungle Brothers
(A= africa, G= mike g)

Intro:

A: because I got it like that, uh huh
Because I got it like that, wooh, uh huh
Because I got it like that
G: like how?
A: like that

Verse 1:

A: Dancin' on the dance floor
Girl, it's you that I adore
Step on stage, you scream for more
Afrika got rhymes galore
Snap my fingers, make you mine
If not, I'll snap a second time
After that, I guarantee
You will be standing next to me
Left or right side, take your pick
But girl, you've got to make it quick
Baby, baby, baby
I know I drive you crazy

G: Mc's know me as mike g
Girls hold on to me tightly
Warm personality
That's why they get close to me
Try their best to drive me wild
Say they want to bear my child
I go away, they say, come back
Why? because I got it like that

Chorus:

A: yeah, uh huh
G: because I got it like that
A: yeah, uh huh
G: because I got it like that
A: a ha ha, uh huh
G: because I got it like that
A: like how?
G: like that

Verse 2:

A: No problem, (why? ) because I got it like that
A baby bam beat and an african rap
My partner by my side, sammy b is on the cut
Your djs chill and chill, but hey, so what?
Nuggets in my pocket, wine in my hand
I got it like that, but you still don't understand
It comes to me natural, it comes to me easy
I just lay back and let the big beat lead me
I never work a day in my life
Single jungle brother, no kids, no wife
100,000 rhymes from one band, that's many
But back where I come from, they ain't worth a penny
You've got a lot of talent, but you fail to see
You paid for yours, I got mine for free

G: Play in the rain and don't get wet
Walk through the desert and don't even sweat
Play in the snow and don't get cold
I'm just a cool young brother who looks kinda old
Love around the world schoolin' the sound
If I could bet a crowd and get caught us loud
I've got ladies uptown and money on the floor
There's not a thing in the world that I'm askin' for

Chorus 2:

A: wooh, uh huh
G: because I got it like that
You wanna know why, brother?
Because I got it like that
A: uh huh
G: I ain't jokin', I ain't playin', it's just my brother
I got it like that
A: a ha ha

Verse 3:

A: Used to be a player, couldn't be trusted
But still in all, I never got busted
Knowin' every part of new york city
I thought it was fun, it used to look witty
I had it all spread out, even one next door
I had it like that, so what ya askin' for?
4 to 5, you see, was my minimum
And every day, I used to go and get with 'em
One for every hour on the hour
One on the way while I was in the shower
It sounds kinda crazy, it sounds kinda bugged
But you see, afrika was the one they loved
So you see, it got to a point where they didn't care
They didn't wanna give me up, so they agreed to share

Chorus 3:

A: because I got it like that
G: I hear you, brother, word
A: because I got it like that
G: man, you's one baaaaaad jungle brother
A: like that
Like that

Outro:

A: uh, wooh, sammy b, b, you got it like that
I know you got it like that
Yo mike g from the jungle brothers, man
New orleans got it like that
New york city got it like that
Los angeles got it like that
Cleveland got it like that
Let me see, who else got it like that?
G: detroit
A: who?
G: detroit
A: man, yeah, atlanta got it like that
Philadelphia got it like that
Texas got it like that, let me see
Somebody else got it like that
G: d.c.
A: yea, d.c., d.c. got it like that
Boston, miami, I know you got it like that, miami
G: word
A: word up, yo, I'm outta here, you know why?
Both: because I got it like thatWhite Lines

Tell all your friends, they can go my way

With nothin to gain except killin your brain

(Freeze! Rock!) 4X
(Blow!)

(High...) Get higher, baby!
(High...) Get higher, baby!

A businessman is caught with 24 kilos
He's out on bail, and out of jail and that's the way it goes, rrrruh!

The Message
Grandmaster Melle Mel

[INTRO]
It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

[FIRST VERSE]
Broken glass everywhere
People pissin' on the stairs, you know they just don't care
I can't take the smell, can't take the noise
Got no money to move out, I guess I got no choice
Rats in the front room, roaches in the back
Junkies in the alley with a baseball bat
I tried to get away but I couldn't get far
'cuz a man with a tow truck repossessed my car

[CHORUS]
Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head
Uh huh ha ha ha

It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

[SECOND VERSE]
Standin' on the front stoop hangin' out the window
Watchin' all the cars go by, roarin' as the breezes blow
Crazy lady, livin' in a bag
Eatin' outta garbage pails, used to be a fag hag
Said she'll dance the tango, skip the light fandango
A Zircon princess seemed to lost her senses
Down at the peep show watchin' all the creeps
So she can tell her stories to the girls back home
She went to the city and got so so seditty
She had to get a pimp, she couldn't make it on her own

[CHORUS]
Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head
Uh huh ha ha ha

It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

[THIRD VERSE]
My brother's doin' bad, stole my mother's TV
Says she watches too much, it's just not healthy
"All My Children" in the daytime, "Dallas" at night
Can't even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight
The bill collectors, they ring my phone
and scare my wife when I'm not home
Got a bum education, double-digit inflation
Can't take the train to the job, there's a strike at the station
Neon King Kong standin' on my back
Can't stop to turn around, broke my sacroiliac
A mid-range migraine, cancered membrane
Sometimes I think I'm goin' insane
I swear I might hijack a plane!

[CHORUS]
Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head

It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

[FOURTH VERSE]
My son said, Daddy, I don't wanna go to school
'cuz the teacher's a jerk, he must think I'm a fool
And all the kids smoke reefer, I think it'd be cheaper
if I just got a job, learned to be a street sweeper
Or dance to the beat, shuffle my feet
Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps
'cuz it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny
You got to have a con in this land of milk and honey
They pushed that girl in front of the train
Took her to the doctor, sewed her arm on again
Stabbed that man right in his heart
Gave him a transplant for a brand new start
I can't walk through the park 'cuz it's crazy after dark
Keep my hand on my gun 'cuz they got me on the run
I feel like a outlaw, broke my last glass jaw
Hear them say "You want some more?"
Livin' on a see-saw

[CHORUS]
Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head
Say what?

It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

[FIFTH VERSE]
A child is born with no state of mind
Blind to the ways of mankind
God is smilin' on you but he's frownin' too
Because only God knows what you'll go through
You'll grow in the ghetto livin' second-rate
And your eyes will sing a song called deep hate
The places you play and where you stay
Looks like one great big alleyway
You'll admire all the number-book takers
Thugs, pimps and pushers and the big money-makers
Drivin' big cars, spendin' twenties and tens
And you'll wanna grow up to be just like them, huh
Smugglers, scramblers, burglars, gamblers
Pickpocket peddlers, even panhandlers
You say I'm cool, huh, I'm no fool
But then you wind up droppin' outta high school
Now you're unemployed, all non-void
Walkin' round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd
Turned stick-up kid, but look what you done did
Got sent up for a eight-year bid
Now your manhood is took and you're a Maytag
Spend the next two years as a undercover fag
Bein' used and abused to serve like hell
'til one day, you was found hung dead in the cell
It was plain to see that your life was lost
You was cold and your body swung back and forth
But now your eyes sing the sad, sad song
Of how you lived so fast and died so young so...

[CHORUS]
Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head
Uh huh huh huh huh

It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
Huh, uh huh huh huh huh

It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
Huh, uh huh huh huh huh

Yes, dj. Everlast said a lot in that song. That was my sole purpose in the anecdote that I cited earlier. Either give or not give, but save the sermon.

Well, listeners. What a lovely way to end an evening:

Dogs ears have been covered; horses have been vindicated; tests have been taken; music has echoed through the halls of WA2K radio and I guess it's time for your hostess to eat some Swedish meatballs.

Tomorrow, my friends, I will give you a brief overview of the book Alive; the short story To Build a Fire; and the Donner Pass.

I was 7 years old when Hawaii was admitted as 50th of the United States...it looks like I have 5 years on you

1 year old when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima

I was born the day Harry Truman was elected president.
