Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from October 1, 2021 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.

But that makes me think, when we were in grade school we wore iron crosses - it was a surfer thing. I'm going to make an iron cross out of fried bologna, put it on a leather whip, and wear it when I go shopping at the farmers market where I might get a raft of shit.
