Mission Statement: to do very little, for very few, for not very long. Disappointing the easily pleased since 1819. Not as good as it used to be from Day One. History is Bunk - PT Barnum. Artificially Intelligent before it was fashionable. Fat camp for the mind! Nothing lasts, but nothing is lost. The Shock of the Old! Often bettered, never imitated.
This may have slipped you by while you were off learning skills at a Federal correctional facility or holing up in th' old abandoned grain silo. It's Th' Dan on T.V.! Only without the picture. So it's more like radio. Which is like watching T.V. with your eyes closed ("the pictures are better"). Turn the sound way down and pretend it's the neighbors' T.V. for added realism! Bang on the wall with your fists, screaming turn it down you goddam hippie motherfuckers! and wait for th' po-lice to arrive! LAUGH as thy wisecrack their way through questions from the audience! WEEP with nostalgia as they play their top ten hits live in the studio! Hoo boy! Plus also too - at no extra charge - just a dollar - this swell fake [English for faux - Ed.] album cover, ideal for scrap-booking or cat litter!
