VHUS Classic Encore 39: The Officially Medicated Playlist




















Yes, I know you were expecting a new episode this week.
My appendix had other plans.

(Nothing like like driving yourself to the ER at 3AM on a Saturday morning  - in EXCRUCIATING PAIN - to make one rethink the whole "lone wolf/living alone" concept.)

Summary: I am alive.   And I will recover.   But it's going to be a pain in the ass (OK, abdomen) I do not need right now.

Sorry to make you guys suffer along with me, but my current condition necessitates another visit to the VHUS vault this week.
(Yes.   Next week as well.)

From the cluttered desk of Uncle D.L...

Why do I do this?   

Not for the $$$.   (What $$?!?)
Not for the thrill of being "on the air."    (Did the real thing for 40 years.)
Not for the groupies.   (Been there, been infected by that.)

Uncle does this thing for the RATINGS!

2500 listens a week?   I will do this thing until the last fatal heart attack.

1000 listens a week?    Sure, anything to entertain the loyal fans.

But... only 150 listens a week?    Uncle has MUCH better things to do.

Seriously kids... this 150 listener-per-week bullshit just isn't cutting it.
If things don't perk up... you should get that black funeral suit ready one more time.    This will be the real deal.    Just sayin'.
