mp3: Coast-to-Coast AM interview with Joseph Niezgoda, The John Lennon Prophecy.

Ian Punnett on Saturday night’s Coast-To-Coast AM,  interviews Joseph Niezgoda, author of a book called The John Lennon Prophecy, suggesting that the Beatle sold his soul to the Devil.

Lately, the show has been dry and boring, so it was nice to hear something lively for once.

Niezgoda claims John Lennon knew when and where he was going to die – something I deal with in Dan Touchette’s Timebox Episode 6.

Like the subtext in my story, all the clues from the 1960s “Paul is Dead” meme actually refer to John Lennon’s future death.

Well, I’m up late doing some organizing and cleaning.

I popped in An Evening With Kevin Smith (for inspiration) and just listened to his anecdote about joining the protest for Dogma:

Well, here is that televised interview on Channel 12 New Jersey:

Experiment: On This Day in the DT Log: December 5th.

without comments

Well, the requests are trickling in for classic DT Logs.  (Classic?)

I thought I might rev up your memories with an experimental feature, On This Day in the DT Log.

Here we go:

1989 – NINETEEN YEARS AGO

DT Log 6.3 – “More Rumours Françaises”

The entire French class was invited to submit untrue and somewhat scurrilous rumors to M. Silver, provided that they were in French.

I took the liberty of translating to English this hearsay!  Apparently our classmate Corbin was leading a double life!

Jeff and Corbin like Michael Jackson.

Bobby is going out with a snake.

Mitch has an A+ in French.

M. Silver is very, very thin.

M. Silver attends ballet.

Dan has a fat, beautiful girlfriend.

Chuck doesn’t believe in sadistic cows.

Corbin likes Corinna.

Corbin thinks he was John Lennon.

Corbin sleeps with a cow.

1991 – SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO

Senior Log #26 – “Teachers Left and Right”

An analysis of the most and least tolerant teachers I had at El Capitan.  M. Silver, #1 least tolerant, is mentioned yet again, “a total 180° turn from laissez-faire to control.” [Look, folks, I included a French term... wasn't I smart?]  Then goes, #2 – Westdal, #3 – O’Malley, #4 – Ellet, #5 – Dennison.

I recalled maybe the most amazing teacher quote of all time, from Mrs. Ellet, from 1989 Freshman English:

Do I have to do a striptease to get your attention?!

This quote is now urban legend, mainly because I wasn’t sure if I dreamt it due to nodding off in class.

Who was the most tolerant? #1 – Leiberknect, #2 – Anderson, #3 – Rosenburger, #4 – Shaffer, #5 – Till.

***

Well, I thought I’d have more material.  Eh bien.
