I didn't know e. e. cummings wrote profanely. Did he get into trouble like Ginsberg with "Howl"?
Commie Francis (host) 8:50:25 PM
hm i'm not sure actually!
Commie Francis (host) 8:50:53 PM
i was thinking of playing ginsberg america but i'm assuming there's things in there i'd need to bleep and i didn't get around to figuring out what
David Shortell 8:54:36 PM
I saw the Dex Romweber Duo a few times in the early ‘10s without realizing I’d seen the drummer, Dexter’s sister Sara, in Let’s Active in the ‘80s. She succumbed to a brain tumor in 2019.

Commie Francis (host) 9:10:20 PM
i just saw them last week at something to talk about fest! they were awesome
David Shortell 9:18:45 PM
My goodness, that Progressive Labor Party song was radical (in the true sense of the word, not the juvenile slang sense).
richard lyons:) 9:18:50 PM
One of my favorite shows, Commie!! Loved Progressive Labor Party track!
richard lyons:) 9:19:17 PM
Second that!
Commie Francis (host) 9:25:24 PM
i figure the plp must have been (must be? i think they're still around) annoying because maoists are annoying but they really were ahead of their time in the world of radical leftist organizing. and intersectionality
Commie Francis (host) 9:25:38 PM
they have a bunch of songs in terrible spanish. they were almost there
David Shortell 9:35:26 PM
I missed the Jack Acid song early in the show. I wonder if that group derived their name from Walt Kelly’s parody of the John Birch Society in the 1962 Pogo book “The Jack Acid Society Black Book”.
Commie Francis (host) 9:35:54 PM
yes they did

I saw KRS-One at City Gardens on April 5, 1992. 24 days later, the Simi Valley jury acquitted Rodney King’s assailants and begat the L.A. riots.
richard lyons:) 9:43:43 PM
Nice David!
richard lyons:) 9:44:46 PM
I haven't had a chance to see him. He has educated a lot of folks
Commie Francis (host) 9:46:29 PM
there is someone in my neighborhood who has a krs one license place

This is solid! Thanks for the request Downer Party Casey!
David Shortell 9:52:38 PM
I’ve always heard people pronounce Hagar “hay-gar”, even in the case of Hägar the Horrible. Yet the umlaut above that comic strip Viking’s first syllable indicates it should be pronounced “hog-gar”.
Commie Francis (host) 9:52:58 PM
i remember you bringing that up before but i forgot all about it!
richard lyons:) 9:53:46 PM
