Title: 1 April 2011: will AL be "Fool"ish?
Post by: RGMike on March 31, 2011, 07:48:57 PM
Our buddy Scott Fisher just posted "Foolish Songs Tomorrow!" but most of his AL wall-posts are meaningless gibberish so... I dunno.

Her own post concurs, but from the songs she's giving as examples it sounds more like a novelty song set than one focusing on "fool" songs. F'rinstance:

That thread nearly made my head explode -- seems like she's aiming for a cross between "Funny Friday" and Dave's Thanksgiving Turkeys. But some Fogheads are just requesting songs with "Fool" in the title. And others are just plain clueless: "I Zimbra" by Talking Heads? Wha?  And someone who wasn't listening last week wants "Make a Circuit With Me"  ::)

(I requested my longstanding "turkey", "Tarzan Boy")

Yep, just the kinda song AL's looking for.  Funny how so many on FB didn't get AL's hint and went with the tired ol' "Fool"-in-title songs or other "out-there" requests.  Hopefully those were just April Fool's jokes (but I doubt it).  See y'all at 10AM, a fun way to end the week.

Indeedy.  I was crazy busy during most of the set, but I did catch the song.  My mom had this on a K-Tel cassette when I was in 4th grade and I remember listening to it over, and over (and OVER) again (press play + rewind simulatneously and voila!).  I'm surprised she didn't eject it and toss it out the car window and tell me to freakin' shaddap my face.

My kids heard the radio ads for Wondercon and asked if they could go, but we've already planned a camping trip to Death Valley.  Maybe next year we'll see you there!

Yeah!!! If you go next year, I recommend getting tix ahead of time -- this week Saturday sold out (for the first time) & next weekend the entire weekend will probably sell out.  (But probably the weekend of or close to...not months ahead like ComicCon -- not yet, anyway.)
