Hi! I am back from Poland. It was awesome. I rode on a train, saw a stork, visited family! Changes in Poland
1. No Polski Fiat Maluch seen on road, but saw one at a car show and also one in an Obi parking lot (like Home Depot).
2. Women stopped wearing dresses, high heels and stockings. Now its all pants and flats and sneakers. NOT as sexy as it once was. Polish women are still beautiful as usual, but just not dressed as sexy as 2007....
3. Everybody is building a new house or renovating their existing house or putting a new metal roof on it.

Greeting Joe & Co. Wow Neil, that sounds interesting. Perhaps the lack of dresses now is a reflection of Poland's neo-nationalist catholic conservatism? My friend Kasha has told me some wild (in a bad way) stuff going on in her homeland as of the past few years.

@Diezel Tea,
Theoretically Poland is more nationaliistic now, yes. However PIS is in favor of GMO's!?. If anything Poland is less conservative socially than it used to be. People living together without marriage etc.
I REALLY missed the dresses, stockings and high heels. It was all I could think about my first few visits. Oh well. Maybe it will become hip here in the USA to stop wearing PJs to Walmart and start wearing tight dresses, makeup and high heels. I used to say it was like a public service announcement the wardrobe et al. But I AM a sexist pig, I know. Oink!

Eric Claptelloncamp, Sting, Phil Collins, Billy Squire and Bruce Springfield are many reasons I choose WFMU. I am disappointed that one of them was aired here.

Just finished listening to Dr. Dream and tuned in to hear you recount a set I would have loved to have heard while talking over Kevin Ayers!
How about some more Kevin? or more Bert? Just watched his big song and dance number from Season 1 of The Muppet Show yesterday. He never got enough credit for his dancing outside of "the pigeon."
