Its wrong to suggest that you’d desecrate the burial plot of Ted Kennedy. @27:40 – 27:50 into the podcast.
Dont lower yourselves into pit of vulgarity that Bill Maher and Steve Colbert live. I’d hope you’re better – smarter – than that.
Point well taken Occ.
Please continue to be civil yet hard on Ted Kennedy. He deserves it, left is trying to rewrite his history. People shouldn’t forget he left that poor girl to die.
I’m not on the President Trump train but thoroughly enjoy that this hosts of this show are. Their positive outlook reminds me to not be so hard on President Trump.
FYI. The sound quality of the past couple of podcasts has been uneven. Mike’s voice is much lower than Todd’s. You might want to check out the balance in the audio file of the two speakers.
Still the best of the Ricochet podcasts!! Keep up the great work.
Regarding Utah Phillips, I’d never heard the “rumor in his own time” description. Funny. He was a Wobblie, if I recall. It doesn’t get much more hard core than that.
I think his best song was Touch Me, not to be confused with the song of the same name by The Doors. Sounds dirty but it’s actually nice. A rendition by Fred Holstein, who is a better performer:
I didn’t think it was that bad but I take the point. Ted Kennedy was such a terrible person that one is pushed to extremes. Best to resist that temptation. Don’t drive off that bridge when you come to it. [See what I did there?]
My ears were burning at the beginning of the podcast when Stopa name checked me and Feinburg implied that I suffer from Peyronies disease (perhaps related to his shower thoughts) and by the end, I wished I didn’t have ears at all thanks to Utah Phillips’ wobbly hillbilly warbling. #Fakemusic
I was objecting to the vulgarity. I agree Ted Kennedy was a bad person, but he got away with it – at least in this world.
And yes, I saw that… Ive heard Mary Jo Kopechne called the first casualty in the War on Women. (I forget who’s quote that is)
But honestly, did you find yourself humming it today? Let me sing to you, hmmm hmmmm.
