Category Neanderpaul Sings! – Parody & Satire

My old morning show from Sacramento were the epitome of “prima donnas.” Not unlike many morning shows, they spent a good amount of time ripping on the station that wrote their checks. On this occasion, they spent almost an entire show, lamenting the fact that the chairs in the studio, were garbage. Valid point. However, they had a listener, who worked at an office supply store, hook them up with new chairs. They made a huge point of announcing that the chairs belonged *only* to the morning show, and went so far as to lock them to the CD rack in the back of the studio. So that nobody else could use them. Well…The night guy and I lifted said rack, unhooked the chairs, and stole them. Hid them in a locked closet. They went nuts. The whole next morning was devoted to what a-holes we were. This was my apology.

Newfangled meditation. This bit was done right around 9/11. When the entire world was confused about religion. Mistakenly associating Sikhs with Muslims, and the Catholic Church was still going through their difficulties. So, I thought the time was right for a non-denominational outlet for people to just chill out. It sounded a lot more acceptable in my head. Thanks to the new conservatism in radio, this bit can’t really run anymore. Now, nobody will know where to go to relive the stresses in life. *Sad face.*

A few days after “Mission Accomplished?” this show premiered on the Al-Jamama network. Huge thanks to my friend Chadd Pierce for the submission. Chadd was a kid, working in Indiana when he did this. Super talented. He’s since gone on to run his own production house/voiceover service. He contributed a few bits to my CD, “No Talent Ass Clown,” and deserves all of the success he’s attained.

There used to be a shady video place in every town. You know the one. Flickering light out front. Curtain in back where the “good films” lived. 18 copies of Good Burger. A trip to the video store could take hours back then. Because you searched every aisle, and considered every movie. Hmmmmm…Have we seen “Head Cleaner?” Damn you internet! You’ve made this bit obsolete!

Again…any bit worth doing…is worth overdoing. A little perspective may be in order. Rio Linda, was the “Whiskey Tango” section of Sacramento. It wasn’t uncommon to see couches on the front lawn as lawn furniture. Or, a goat, tied to a car rim. It was pure awesomeness. And, everyone made fun of it. Hell..if you’re a Rush Limbaugh fan (GET OFF MY PAGE!!!), you’ve heard him make fun of it. It really is a special place. I highly recommend you visit if you find yourself in need of a pick-me-up!
