PLAYLIST FOR “CLICHE CLINIC” 4.27.24

What do these things have in common?

I’d rather have a root canal!
It’s like putting lipstick on a pig!
It’s totally gone off the tracks!

No, these are not descriptions of my show. They’re Cliches – which I wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole and, the end of the day, I bend over backwards not to use them as if my life depended on it. Except last Saturday when I gave a Clinic In Cliches!

PLAYLIST FOR “MANNERS MATTER” 11.18.23

19 Nov

What on earth is going on? Punching in the house of representatives. Senators challenging witnesses to fight. Road rage. Parking lot rage; grocery store rage. What’s next? Library rage? People: What are you thinking? What do you need? Maybe lessons in good manners? Okay. We can do that – because this week on Turntable For One, Manners Matter.

PLAYLIST FOR “CLIMATE CHANGE HIT PARADE” (6.10.23)

11 Jun

Everyone loved Orange Is The New Black. You know what we didn’t love? Orange Is The New Blue when huge, thick, toxic orange clouds of smoke from Canadian forest fires enveloped our cities, giving new meaning to huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Thanks, Canada.

But instead I chose to exploit this tragedy to get some ironic laughs with tunes from the Climate Change Hit Parade.
