Influences
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory's "Wondrous Boatride," Thomas Pynchon, Bill Hicks, "California's Gold" with Huell Howser, KCSB's "No Programming" (with "Joe Davis"), "Past Life Nightmares" (with "Gene Pool" [Tom Borghi RIP]), "Culture of Protest," "The Friday Riff," "On the Real" with Papa AJ, "Sustainable World Radio," "Art of Peace Radio," "5...4...3...2...Fun!!," "The Tell-Tale Heart," "Bluesland," "No Alibis," "Mr. Bell's Fix-It Shop"/"Funky Breaks on Black Cakes," "Jazz Straight Ahead," "Jammin' a Little Old School" -- actually too many KCSB programs to mention; "Democracy Now!," The Lost Film Festival, "Mystery Science Theater 3000," Rev. Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping, Siskel & Ebert, "SCTV," The Upright Citizen's Brigade, David Letterman, The Youth International Party (Yippies!), Timothy Speed Levitch ("The Cruise"), Mad Magazine (PRE-Warner Bros. Corp. purchase), "The Daily Show," John Cusack, Tim Robbins, Spike Lee, Plastic Ono Band, "The Colbert Report," "Creature Features" (with Bob Wilkins), John Waters, George A. Romero, Michael Moore, Richard Linklater, mtv's "120 minutes" (circa early 1990s?), "The Incredibly Strange Film Show," Cinefantastique, Adbusters, Mike Davis ("City of Quartz"), "The Great Escape" (KCRW)/Synchronize Live (Thomas Golubic), KGO's "God Talk," "Mr. Show with Bob and David," "Uprising" with Sonali Kolhatkar, Chuck D, Stella, Hunter S. Thompson/GONZO Journalism, Dishwasher zine, Ben Is Dead zine, and "This American Life." Never really listen to "Fresh Aire," but I probably should. Definitely want to track down more of Alan Watts and Joe Frank, whose legends precede them (but I know very little of their respective works).
