Ahoy Matt! I', doing swimmingly. Hey, I was sorry for your sake to hear that Matt Groening announced Springfield, Oregon, as being the THE Springfield. That musta hurt. |

Unless of course you are in Springfield, Oregon. |

Matt from Springfield:
Well, it might have hurt more if Matt G came from Arlington, VA or DC. It's called that because Springfield, OR is considered the dull, simple counterpart to college town Eugene, OR. Either way, I'm a Matt from Springfield who loves Matt's Springfield! :) | |

Springfield VA (my hometown) needs no comic amplification to realize its own heart of absurdity. It is its own full flower of expression. | |

Hi Artie! WHOA--yet *another* FMU listener with a Springfield VA connection! I'm convinced (based on other people as well) that the entire world will eventually live in Springfield, at least briefly and staggered over years... | |

Doug, on Fiveash's show last week, he played COLD SWEAT during a James Brown set! Heard "give the drummer some!" and it leapt out at me! | |

Artie:
I was not hip to this FMU/Springfield phenomenon. Who else grazed those barren pastures? But, yes, I did 18 years there. Of course hanging out at the Springfield Mall in my youth (TimeOut, Orange Julius and even putting the sticky in Tiffany's sticky buns for a few miserable days.) | |

Ace, PMD, frances, quite a few. Since we were just talking about meetups, I should organize a DC area WFMU listener meetup; if you include the broader metro area there's even more currently here. | |

Artie:
They called it "schmear" Doug, but you wouldn't want it on yr bagel. Some kind of fat, some kind of sugar, some cinnamon and some nuts. The whole arm went into the bin, little handfuls went into each of Tiff's muffin pan slots. Once baked on, it must be chiseled off. By the thousand fold. All of this organized by a cruel woman named Kitty. I lasted about three days. | |

Chief Big Foot (Spotted Elk) was dying of pneumonia when the 7th Cavalry shot him. Died like a dog in the snow. This was at the first Wounded Knee in 1890. |

Beginning tonight, Give the Drummer Radio has radio programming from 6 to 9pm on Tuesday evenings. Jesse Kaminsky's new show KAMINSKY KAMOUTSKY begins at 7pm. Tonight's show is pre-recorded (allowing Jesse to get the hang of the live playlist set up). Next week, he will be broadcast live. Each week he will air live from a different location with a different guest. They will pooi their collective DNA and record collections to create radio on the spot. His playlist is here: bit.ly... |

Holly in NC:
Hi Doug & all - I promise I'll focus on Wounded Knee in a minute, but only 37% turnout in NC & fraud in the the most progressive districts...please tell anyone you know in NC to vote before 7:30, right now a non vote is a vote for the amendment. Many folks don't realize that gay marriage is already banned in NC, that is NOT what this is about. The amendment strips basic rights of ALL non married couples & families, regardless of sexual orientation. As in re health care benefits & decisions , POAs, wills, um, PARENTHOOD ??!! It's fucking evil. | |

Oh, my vote's in the can. A big fat NO, thanks very much. | |

Artie = RT = Ron in Raleigh, and he ain't hateful. Seems this bad juju may just pass and sully our good state, but hope does still remain. And we'll continue to duke it out in any case. | |

Wounded Knee Wiki: Following the end of the 1973 stand-off, the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation had a higher rate of internal violence. Residents complained of physical attacks and intimidation by president Richard Wilson's GOONs. The murder rate between March 1, 1973 and March 1, 1976 was 170 per 100,000. Detroit had a rate of 20.2 per 100,000 in 1974 and at the time was considered "the murder capital of the US." The national average was 9.7 per 100,000.[20] More than 60 opponents of the tribal government died violently during this period, including Pedro Bissonette, executive director of OSCRO. AIM representatives said many were unsolved murders,[21] but in 2002 the FBI issued a report disputing this. | |

It was the attempt to impeach Richard Wilson that lead to the occupation at Wounded Knee in '73. The skunk got reelected after, adding insult to injuries. Lots of injuries. |

In the late 19th Century, Native Peoples performing the "Ghost Dance" (in which ancestors are exhorted to come back and defeat the white man) is what initially drew the 7th Calvary to Pine Ridge. They were coming to stop the dancing. With their four Hotchkiss machine guns, the 7th Calvary indeed stopped the dancing. |

I have never lived in Springfield :) (but I'm oh so close in Falls Church/Arlington!) 2. Sure Matt, organize organize!! :) 3. I used to live in NC (Cary). If I still did, I would have helped the vote. 4. Peace Love Trombone :) | |
