into you because that would be a
monumentally stupid thing to do
on purpose. And I may not have
seemed like such a f***in’ idiot if
you had used a blinker to indicate
which direction you planned on
going. You f***in’ idiot.
Colossally Gigantic Earth-
Shattering and Really Important
Announcement of the Week:
After much consideration and
soul-searching, I have decided
not to host a show on WCFA this
year. I know, I know. You were all
on pins and needles. And while I
would dearly love to take a couple
hours a week to display why my
taste in music is so much better
than yours, I simply will not have
the time to make such a commitment.
Thank you, Annie Walsh,
for wining and dining me. I still
hope to be a sometimes guest
host and have TNT as a guest on
your Garage Band show. Inartful
end of paragraph.
Speaking of WCFA, some
old-timey Ella Fitzgerald came
on, so I flipped over to WXPN,
who were playing Count Basie,
then back to WCFA, who were
playing Louis Armstrong. It was
Jazzception.
Reminder to Hugh and
Ginny Murray, Pete and Lorraine
Baldwin, and a fifth party who
may or may not have been Jeff
Raiczyk (it was pretty dark);
Exit Zero Filling Station closes
at 9pm. We can’t have you out
there galavanting around all
night. What will the neighbors
think? (And it was lovely seeing
all of you, except the maybe-Jeff
person, who I didn’t really see all
that clearly.)
I got a new grill for my birthday
and after three weeks in the
box on my front porch and two
weeks in the box on my back
porch, I finally got it up and running
and now I get it, Grill Guys.
Now I get it. It’s possible I’ve been
a bit overzealous, grilling all the
grillable food in my house and
then eating it, but that’s what it’s
for!
I still can’t say much about
the commercials I filmed last
week, but I can’t wait to show you
all my Larry Crinkle bobblehead.
Congratulations of the Week:
To Ruben Nunez on the soonto-be
opening of his second El
Pueblo Taqueria location (on the
promenade next to Fudge Kitchen,
the original is in North Cape May
next to Dunkin Donuts). The food
is legit and your success is wellearned.
Apology of the Week: To
Jehovanny Nunez, brother of
Ruben, owner of Antojo’s, a ridiculously
good dessert/smoothie
shop next to El Pueblo. Anotjo’s
is one of the, um, comfort stations
I use on my delivery route as the
need arises and, well, I plunged as
best I could.
This week starts our nightly
music schedule at EZFS. Aside
from TNT, whom you must be
sick of by now, we have the lovely
and talented likes of Nancy
Malcun, Camille Peruto, Sage
Thomas and Amy Faden circulating
through our doors and ears.
Next Thursday marks the debut of
my little trio with Nancy and my
son Owen on drums playing his
first ever gig. I’m nervous-excited
for him. I think he’s going to be
good, but if he’s not, I’ll have his
mom fire him.
Weekly Beard & Weight
Watch: Beard; grey. Weight; bad.
Lastly this week, a goodbye.
Anyone who attended a Terry
O’ke show at Rio Station between
2005-2019 is no doubt aware of
the Legend of Bob and Darlene.
Well, Bob passed away last
month, and took with him one
of the more singular voices and
personalities I’ve ever encountered.
He was Darlene’s biggest
cheerleader (probably still is) and
was passionate about his music.
Karaoke, for as much as I whine
about it now, brought a lot of
interesting people into my life I
otherwise may never have met,
Bob was one of them, and for that
I am thankful. RIP Bob Rogers.
’Til next week, don’t get
caught in The Undertow.
