Sometimes a cigar is just an attempt to assassinate you.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:50pm Doug Schulkind:

Don't assassinate, because when you do you make an ass ass out of I and Nate.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 5:50pm Artie:

Only High Fidel-ity recordings will be played on this program.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:50pm Jeff Golick:

I'll take that under assvisement.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:52pm Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
Ass vise sounds like an Anthony Weiner Tweet prop.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:53pm Doug Schulkind:

@Artie
That is SO true.
Avatar 5:56pm hyde:

darn it, I had ten bucks riding that the picture would be Fidel in a baseball uniform
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:56pm Jeff Golick:

How sick of Fidel is his brother?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:57pm Doug Schulkind:

Actually, I wanted a picture of a cake depicting Fidel in a baseball uni.

Big problem for Raul: Life expectancy in Cuba is HIGHER than in the U.S.

HIGH!, I mean HOLA!
Avatar 6:02pm northguineahills:

Fidel had many warts. Literal and figurative.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:03pm Doug Schulkind:

Heya, Holland! Evenin', NGH!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:08pm Doug Schulkind:

You're all so rapt. I can just tell.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:09pm Gary:

Speechless: I can't believe there are this many C&W songs about Fidel Castro.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:10pm Gary:

"this many" = >1
Avatar 6:10pm Matt from Springfield:

I'll trade you a Fidel Castro Washington Senators rookie card from '44, for all the original recordings in this program!

Hey there Doug and everyone! Drumma Libre!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:10pm Doug Schulkind:

There are even more about Khrushchev, Gary.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:11pm Doug Schulkind:

Matt! from! Springfield!
Avatar 6:14pm Matt from Springfield:

MANY about ol' Khrush. In fact, that early 60s blues song about confronting Khrush at the UN, and appointing bluesmen to the Senate--that might mention Fidel as well.

CANDY PLEEZ!

but i like candy
Avatar 6:15pm Matt from Springfield:

Cut it off right here :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:15pm Jeff Golick:

The Reverend Estrus could use a bit more estrus, ya know?
Avatar 6:17pm Matt from Springfield:

Interestingly similar to James Clavell's "The Children's Story":
en.wikipedia.org...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:19pm Gary:

Found it! www.nytimes.com...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:19pm Jeff Golick:

But what about Madame Clavel's story?
Avatar 6:20pm northguineahills:

Trying to get work done before I leave early tomorrow for my 6am flight to Vegas for my bro's bachelor party. Crazy day, b/tn that and my first time in court (not being in the jury).
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:21pm Doug Schulkind:

I've got your bail money right here, NGH.
Avatar 6:22pm Matt from Springfield:

And don't get "Hangover"ed, NGH!
Avatar 6:22pm Matt from Springfield:

@Jeff: Which Madame?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:23pm Parq:

The Wikipedia entry for that movie indicates that it is the source of the "Christianity is stupid, Communism is good!" clip used to such great effect by Negativeland. Now there was a WFMU classic. I always thought that the Negland track was supposed to be one of Today's Rock Records slowed down so that you could hear the sinister subliminal messages they contain.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:24pm Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
Didn't Madame Clavel pull out Castro's appendix without even touching his body. Sort of a hand-hovering, faith-healing type deal? In fashionable Paris, of course.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:24pm Jeff Golick:

@Matt: www.scholastic.com...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:25pm Jeff Golick:

Yup. Right after she did two straight lines.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:26pm Doug Schulkind:

Can I favorite that comment, Jeff?
Avatar 6:26pm northguineahills:

Fidel started w/ somewhat good intentions, but w/ real enemies, he eliminated some good comrades that wanted to further his vision.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:27pm Doug Schulkind:

I love the drummer's name on this Jacques Coursil number. It's Claude Delcloo.
Avatar 6:27pm hyde:

@Parq ha, I totally remember that Negativland thing. I still have that record.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:27pm Jeff Golick:

This is some classic BYG shizz right here.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:28pm Doug Schulkind:

By the way.... HI hyde. (I think I forgot to say.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:29pm Doug Schulkind:

The line-up on this Art Taylor cut:
Art Taylor ~ drums
Frank Foster/Charlie Rouse ~ tenor saxes
Walter Davis Jr. ~ piano
Sam Jones ~ bass
Avatar 6:30pm northguineahills:

@Matt, I think that w/ my loving bros picked Vegas as the destination for this party. I'd be happier in Sheboygan, or not.///..

@Parq, I totally forgot about that, I have that on cassette.
Avatar 6:30pm Matt from Springfield:

Ah, thanks Jeff and Doug! :)
And sadly no, we can't as yet "star" comments--how I wish we could!!
Avatar 6:31pm hyde:

@Doug phew, I didn't want to make a scene--but I was pretty miffed about being totally snubbed!
Avatar 6:31pm hyde:

(not really_)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:31pm Doug Schulkind:

Just saying "Sheboygan" is pleasurable. Imagine living there! With hyde! (Not really.) No, really.
Avatar 6:32pm Matt from Springfield:

@Doug: There's Delclous...and then there's Delcloo!
@NGH: Bachelor party Sheboygan style--instead of wondering what happened, you wake up wondering why you're still in Sheboygan... ;)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:34pm Doug Schulkind:

Delcloo = delicious
Avatar 6:34pm hyde:

what happens in Sheboygan stays in Sheboygan
Avatar 6:34pm northguineahills:

I'm going to have my bachelor party local. Crap, I have to worry about that now.
Avatar 6:36pm northguineahills:

Not familiar w/ Art Taylor, but me likey!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:38pm Jeff Golick:

Gotta run, but thanks for the Fidelmories!

I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Gracias, el gran jefe sur la radio, Doug!
Avatar 6:38pm Matt from Springfield:

I certainly liked the track I heard--Art's one of the legendary jazz drummers I need to check out more of.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:40pm Uncle Michael:

Greetings, comrades.

Hola, Tio Miguel!

Sensual musical narrative here! War is not the answer, unless it's War. Then it's always the right answer.

Coming up, the first reggaeton track I've ever played on the air...

She's rather sedated for a Mexicana, but my Cubano friends are very animated.

This is hilarious, I love it.

I'll have a cubano and a mojito, por favor.
