Episode 108: Concerted Effort

Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, August 19 2009 (10:00 PM - 11:00 PM) at Joe’s Prime Time, Brownstown MI
    “Mike, Schmoe, and Mickey take a closer look at the recent Pine Knob concert.  (Guest appearances by Jacob and Nathan.) ”

    I, Mickey, formally concede, from the outset:
    A) Schmoe is right about “Margaritaville” on You Had to Be There.  Frankly, I have no idea now what I was talking about.  And, 2) It does sound like I say “1997”.  I still don’t see how I could confuse the years; I can only assume it was a case of lazy-mouth.
    And now, the show notes:
    03:23 - our tribute slideshow is still viewable at nothingbutmonkeys.com

    04:13 - once again, the 2009 Cheeseburger Festival logo
    04:55 - the photo in question
    05:17 - you can hear us bitch about the absence of portajohns at the end of Episode 17: “Wet Wet Wet”
    05:56 - the forecast for Clarkston on August 13 was sunny with a high of 83°F
    08:02 - the concert that year (2003) was like a freaking Carnival Cruise Line show, with native dancers, jugglers, and fire-eaters.
    10:57 - another link to my concert photos
    18:37 - concert clips are once again from SunLover, over at the Buffett News discussion board, since, as you might have guessed, we were busy that night
    20:11 - a commercial for Ford, plus subliminal product placement for Dodge and Toyota

    23:09 - screenwriter/director John Hughes died Sunday, August 8 2009
    23:30 - I don’t remember now.  It could have been “Pirate” or maybe it was “Last Mango”.
    24:56 - just ignore this whole part.  Mike might be right: maybe I heard an old recording on Radio Margaritaville’s “Buffett Buffet”.
    28:43 - “A Pew Research survey released last month showed that 81 percent of respondents between ages 16-29 said they liked The Beatles.  Eleven percent said they dislike the band and only 4 percent said they have never heard of them.”  Source: CNN
