Favoriting October 14, 2015: Formula 50 is why I get out of bed every day. I regularly take baths in it and when it's not within arm's length I have panic attacks. Thank God and Baby Jesus it's available on Amazon. Now I can get my life back on track.

She was a 10 year that made a record on Stax. She was on Carson. Yeah, Mama, he's... is the one. I don't know. Just found it and I guess because she's so young and I'm listening to Irwin's show it kind of reminded me of Amanda. Probably trying to make too many connections right now.

@SimonStainrod: “You wouldn't get away with that anymore. She was clearly living out some record exec's fantasy.”

You’re kidding me right? Miley Cyrus? Britney Spears? Jessica Simpson? Selena Gomez? We’re talking about kids primed from their early years to be marketable objects.

In comparison, Lena Zavaroni was more genuine because it was just weird…
  3:56pm
Jack:

Great Tull, thanks Irwin!

Rachel Sweet. Not quite as young, but definitely marketed for her age.
  3:57pm

Also, Joan Jett, Cheri Curie and the Runaways. The idea that somehow “that would not happen nowadays” is nuts. It’s actually happening MORE nowadays and nobody flinches than ever before.

Irwin. This self-indulgence works a treat. Great selections. My first time lisnin.
  3:59pm
JakeGould:

@Irwin: Listened to some Shooby Taylor this week after Dan Bodah played a track on his show this week. Good job preserving his work. I can’t say I’ll listen to him more than a handful of times, but the guy was so perfectly off-kilter timed in his scat it’s stunning to hear.

Lena was 10, singing about older men giving her the eye. I'll repeat, you wouldn't get away with it now. Miley is doing what she's doing as a grown adult.

Mike East:

@JakeGould - I was just thinking about this yesterday as I passed a Selena Gomez poster in which she is completely nude. A bit upsetting to me that my daughter and nieces ages 10-12 are her target audience. Seems like they are being primed to have body issues...and I don't know what to do about it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:01pm
Mike East:

or maybe I'm just an uptight prude
  4:03pm
JakeGould:

@SimonStainrod: Lena is singing a cute standard song from the 1920s. Her whole album is just classic cover songs. No sexualization if you ask me. Tons of standards like that. Now Britney Spears singing “(Hit Me) Baby One More Time” in a school uniform… There you go… en.wikipedia.org...

  4:06pm
JakeGould:

@MikeEast: Well, I don’t think you are a prude as much as it’s just really crass nowadays. Like Playboy is no longer going to have nudes since it hampers their ability to get traction on social media. Sounds like a genius idea to me in a modern media landscape. Look at old Playboys and there’s some purity to what they did back then.

In contrast what was the ad campaign for the MTV VMAs? Half nude Miley Cyrus’s body literally mutilated in chunks with cutesy hipster/stoner cartoons? What is that?
  4:19pm
Simon Stainrod:

Anyway, there's no such thing as over-sexualization. Thats a misnomer. All we think about 24/7 is sex. And yes, prudism was forced upon us by religious bs.

Heard a lot of Joe Frank on WFMU. Decided to look him up. Found this interesting. After Hours is a great film. 'His (Joe Frank) 1982 monologue "Lies" was used as the inspiration for the Martin Scorsese movie After Hours, without permission.(He later settled out of court for a "handsome" settlement.)'

I wonder, what are the chances of Joe Frank performing in Monty Hall someday? That would be a pretty cool show, I'll bet.

@Ken - he performed for FMU at the radio vision festival a few years ago...so I wouldn't say out of the question, though he is getting old, so I would wager he's not that into traveling cross country so much anymore.

@Ike - I've caught a few episodes of that with my daughter. Pretty funny stuff. There is hope out there. I try to steer my daughter towards that kind of stuff - one of the reasons we don't get nickelodeon/MTV.
