Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from November 16, 2018 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

Rich in Washington:

Hearing about Roy Clark's passing yesterday prompted a red wine fueled Hee Haw viewing fest last night. For those of us who grew up in a one-TV house, our dads sort of ruled television viewing on Saturday nights, so we were sort of 'forced' (I mean, the TV was on. What else were we gonna do?) to watch Hee Haw every week.
I hated it then, but now it's very sentimental.

True story: as a kid, I once went to a McDonald's and asked for a plain cheeseburger, specifying "nothing but cheese." When I unwrapped it, I found that the guy had just given me cheese on a bun with no patty. Any disappointment I felt was quickly outweighed by the realization that I could actually walk up to the counter and say, "Where's the beef?!"
