@Mike: WFMU's patented Time Lord technology ensures that the bag is larger on the inside than it appears on the outside. Heck, many DJs save on rent by living in their Frog Disco bags.

@pat: I showed my kids a bad music video from the 70s my bandmates were in. It was a Danny Thomas spit-out-your-drink moment for them. They have never let me or my mates (who are friends of the family) live that video down. Cruel shits.

It is cruel, pat.
I remember being as excited as hell seeing my parents's yearbooks when I was a kid. It was cool to see them in the clothes of the time, looking dorky like me. It made them more endearing to me.

It should be a requirement that every time a devoted WFMU fan recognizes a fellow FMU T-shirt on the street, he/she must buy that t-shirt a drink.

Outside of New Jersey, at least.

@Caryn - I meant FOR the good Rabbi, not FROM. He comes on remotely every Friday for the Torah portion of the show and talks about each week's parshas. I don't really know exactly what that is, but I listen almost every week. Its the equivalent of a sermon.

@Mike: yeah, it was lovely. But it seemed as if he brought up one of the big bids, so I'm not sure if he was just reading out loud or if some of the organisations he worked with had raised money. Was listening to Jason and JM at the same time, so some of the details are a bit mixed up.
