Joining me for this final show will be Chris Mezzolesta of Power Salad, the great Luke Ski, and many of the people who have made this show successful. The show is ending because the show's creator, Keith "Keeter Man" Rose has been forced due to his "normal" life to leave Appleton for Carnival Cruise Line as a show band musician. This is not an end to any means - the door is being kept open for resurgence, whether it is an online-only version or a return to WLFM if conditions occur. "Insanity on the Airwaves" has been a comedy & dementia radio program that provides a platform for the exposure for comedy & dementia artists and musicians in the time that comedy music is an underground movement while "alternative" music is mainstream of the music industry. "Insanity on the Airwaves" had a modest beginning with its first show on October 4th, 1999, started with less than 20 CDs and no on-air experience. Today, "Insanity on the Airwaves" has risen to be a premiere comedy/dementia show in the College Radio ranks, both broadcasting locally and via the internet since its start. MANY artists have contributed to the cause of keeping the art of comedy & dementia music alive. The following artists have contributed music to "Insanity on the Airwaves": " The Arrogant Worms " The Bobs " Ben Brooks " Les Barker " The Capitol Steps " Cab City Combo " Tim Cavanaugh " Cole Slaw & the Baked Bean Band " John Cougarstein " The Cowards " Peter Cook " Da Yoopers " Da Vinci's Notebook " The Dan Orr Project " Faust & Lewis " John Forster " The Four Postmen " Tony Goldmark " Dan Hart " Happy Schnapps Combo " Jim's Big Ego " The great Luke Ski " Lurlene the Trailer Court Queen " Lester McFrawp " Sean Morey " The Mrs. Ackroyd Band " No Time " The Onion Radio News " Rob Paravonian " Henry Phillips " The Polkaholics " Power Salad " Raymond & Scum " Robomusic " Darryl Rhoades " Roto Rooter Good-Time Christmas Band " Eric Schwartz " Sponge Awareness Foundation " Stanford Fleet Street Singers " Sudden Death " They Might Be Giants " Throwing Toasters " Those Darn Accordions " Carla Ulbrich " Larry Weaver " Hot Waffles I would also like to thank the artists who either made live appearances on the show or did a pre-recorded interview with us: " "Weird Al" Yankovic " Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz " Chris Mezzolesta of Power Salad " Members of the Happy Schnapps Combo " Tim Cavanagh " Da Vinci's Notebook There have been some artists that have gone "above and beyond" the normal contributions. " Tony Goldmark " Chris Mezzolesta of Power Salad " And most of all Luke Sienkowski, a.k.a. the great Luke Ski This run would have not been possible for me to maintain on my own. I have been very fortunate to have many friends help from time to time. The "Insanity Crew," as it has been dubbed, has been: " Devin "C-Dev" Kass " Jamie "Plain Simple Garak" Le Blanc " Jen "Junior Citizen" Zempel " "Trivial" Todd Wilkinson " Matt "Subman" Marks " Luke Sienkowski, a.k.a. the great Luke Ski " Marianna "Lady Omniscience" Allen I want to thank all of my listeners for tuning into the show - I hope that I have brought you all a good mix of comedy & dementia in these past 2 years. I have had a great time these last 3 years on the air, and I will miss stepping away from the board Sunday evening. I have written a parody to commemorate the final show that will be the last track played on "Insanity on the Airwaves." The song is a parody of Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" entitled "Goodbye Insanity Show." Thank you to all that have been supportive of "Insanity on the Airwaves" and I hope that I sooner than later I can make the announcement that "Insanity on the Airwaves" will make its return.

You pay the person who makes the disk drive in your computer more than 87c per hour, for starters. Richard, dear, if third-world industrial workers made 87c per hour, in either high- or low-tech industries, a good number of them would be dancing in the streets at this sudden, dramatic improvement in their standard of living. Try 87c per DAY. Of course, that's a 7-day work week. And those workdays often run 12 hours. - -- Lori ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2001 17:33:59 -0500 From: Lori Martin Subject: Re: his point spake "wild" Bill: > > b : a government in which the supreme power is > > vested in the people and exercised by them directly or > > indirectly through a system of representation usually > > involving periodically held free elections > 2. this definition would only apply if the people chosen to represent > the people (in electing the president) were bound to represent the > people's wishes. which obviously they are not, since the majority of > the people voted for Gore but Bush was "elected". He was appointed by a decision of the U.S. Supreme court, which decision the Electoral College (and specifically the Florida electors) upheld in its "vote", thereby installing him as President. Even more of a travesty, and more of a betrayal of the people's wishes. Whatever it is we're living under, I consider it a stretch to call it a democracy in these circumstances. And while I share the pride of others in the relative peacefulness of our election process, even in a rather extraordinary situation such as the most recent Presidential election, I don't consider the peaceful transition of power alone to be grounds for satisfaction with the system. The power also needs to be transferred in the manner the people intended when they voted. Anything else -- such as the non-challengeable decision of an elite cabal to ignore that vote and refuse to honor those intentions -- constitutes a nonviolent coup, aided and abetted by a compliant Electoral College. Better than a violent coup? Of course. But not democratic, or even the actions of a "republic", by any means. - -- Lori ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V5 #336 ********************************************
