…I forget exactly how I got these; I want to say I found them on a web site somewhere but can’t recall exactly which one. Anyway, these are a set of airchecks of several nights on CB radio channels in the Milwaukee area in the last week of December 1970 into the third week of January 1971. There’s a whole lotta arguing here, involving such hot topics of the time as the length of hair on men and the “race” of others (there are some racist epithets to be found herein, and I think Milwaukee civil rights activist Fr. James Groppi is mentioned in here somewhere). It is not by any means easy listening; not only is there pro wrestling-style heat in some of the exchanges, there’s also the common static and squealing of overlapping signals that made CB radio monitoring annoying at times.

This piece actually started out as a regular bit in Redd Foxx’s standup act throughout the ’60s, and as such it was specifically targeted by Foxx at the segregationist Governor of Alabama, George Wallace. Circa 1969, Andre Williams, the legendary Mister Rhythm (as Foxx himself dubbed him), produced this version in a Gospel setting. This time he had the performer, Ray Scott (in no way to be confused with the Green Bay Packers play-by-play announcer of the same name), refer merely to “The Governor.” Of course, there have been other Governors who resemble this target — Arkansas’ Orval Faubus, Mississippi’s Ross Barnett, Georgia’s Lester Maddox, South Carolina’s Strom Thurmond — so I suspect Williams thought leaving the dedication open like that might give the thing timelessness. Anyway, it was put out as a 45 and quickly sank like a stone on the charts, as the post-MLK market didn’t have the stomach for the red meat Williams and Scott were feeding it. I found a copy of the 45 about 15 years ago, and on my oldies show at WSUW Whitewater, Wisconsin, I began playing it — where it became a listener request favourite, somewhat to my surprise. (That’s the reason for the cue burn you hear at the beginning.) Who knows, perhaps Quentin Tarantino will include it in an upcoming movie sometime, or The White Stripes might make their own version of it (although, without a rhythm part, I don’t know exactly what Jack would have Meg contribute to any such recording)…

It's the "UnreportedNews.Net Radio Show" from July 15th of last year, in which I sat in for Sarge Phelps and chatted with Kamikaze Kiwi and Red Rocker of the Arizona Derby Dames, and Pardon My French and Mizz Nashty* of the Arizona Roller Derby, all in-studio, and SmasHer of New Orleans' Big Easy Rollergirls on the phone line. Check out the web sites and tell 'em all King Daevid sent ya. *Mizz Nashty is no longer with the AZRD; in November, she joined the short-lived independent Arizona Bruisers/Phoenix City Rollers, and most recently joined the Arizona Derby Dames when that league absorbed the remnants of the Phoenix City Rollers earlier this month. roller derby, No No 38:14 “Between Americans” by Norman Corwin http://kingdaevid.podbean.com/2008/03/19/between-americans-by-norman-corwin/ http://kingdaevid.podbean.com/2008/03/19/between-americans-by-norman-corwin/#comments Wed, 19 Mar 2008 16:10:41 +0000 kingdaevid Special http://kingdaevid.podbean.com/2008/03/19/between-americans-by-norman-corwin/ …featuring a marvelous narration by Orson Welles.

There’s two bits to the “oranges” part, however. Remember how Janeane Garofalo used to sign off her Air America show with the word “Peaches” repeated three or four times? I thought that was a neat bit, and I took that to be Janeane wishing some sweetness into the lives of her audience members. I didn’t find out until more recently that it was actually her atonement for a botched interview with the rock musician Peaches. Anyway, I usually prefer oranges to peaches, so I went with oranges instead for my signoff. That’s the first bit. The second is found in the landmark radio broadcast of Norman Corwin’s great epic poem ON A NOTE OF TRIUMPH from V-E Day, May 8, 1945. Listen to it and pay special attention for a line about how now the kids of Poland will know what an orange tastes like…
