Some religious art for you!

Mother and child reunion.

Today's Out and About. LGBT people, canaries in the coal mine...

Today on Out and About, No guest! Instead I'm going to be talking about all the latest Trump/Krasnov assaults on LGBT folks. Even if you don't know or care about LGBT people, it's becoming pretty obvious that everyone should be concerned about the assaults on them from these Russian operatives. This destructive force of evil isn't going to be satisfied destroying LGBT people, but will continue their traitorous bloodlust to destroy our nation (and you). Plus, I will be playing some fun music. Why? Because fighting fascists and standing up for Democracy and freedom should always be fun! 

Out and About airs every Tuesday at 4 pm on KYRS - 88.1 and 92.3 fm. You can also stream it from kyrs.org, where you can also find archives. Show notes and playlist at https://kyrs.org/show/out-and-about/  Thanks for listening! Maeve

A drunken driver

Half of the passengers know, 

This will not end well

Bill

See the coeds run. 

What fun to be twenty-one! 

But those days are done. 

Max Q

We will all be fine

Live like libertarians

On billionaire’s crumbs 

Rikosan 

I rejoice daily

Hateful acts from Nazi twats

Makes me the hero!

Yesterday's Out and About - Little Red Riding Hood (and the Power Mutants)...

Yesterday I talked with director Rebecca Craven and castmembers from Little red Riding Hood (and the Power Mutants). It was a fun conversation and a delight to talk with these young actors and hear their talents!  

My friend Rebecca is also an instructor at SFCC. And we discussed why theater is such a good thing for students to explore! 

 This sounds like a play that will be fun for the whole family. It opens, at the Spartan Theatre, February 28th and runs until March 2nd. If you missed the broadcast, here is a link: https://archive.kyrs.org/mp3/kyrs_250225_160000b.mp3

It’s an arctic blast; 

We’re having fun in the cold. 

The party’s begun. 

Max Q

Yes: “Long live the king!”

He’s a lion in winter - 

None more cold-hearted.

Max Q

 

There’s gold in that vault! 

And bars of cold in his heart. 

The School of Hard Knox. 

Max Q 

Fifth age from the king:

Terror's cornucopia

laughs at Pandora.

In an open boat

Connected to all water

The sky, sea and wind

Rikosan

Trading sand for snow

Lizard’s gizzard grinds away

Bleakness either way

Thursday afternoon: 

Hot tea on a cold, wet day,

Candle flickering

She said it with dead flowers -

Always the prankster. 

Max Q

Shredding as he goes

Dem Senators are “Baffled”

Isn’t this act two?

Rikosan

My big bleeding heart

The love I feel for our world

Pinko’s my color

Yesterday's Show!

Jordan is in town for a comedy show at the Garland on Thursday and it is going to be great. We talked about the work and talent that it takes to be a successful standup, and how he has evolved in his work.
