How this blog got its name
------------------------------------
There was a large painting of Evel Knievel shaking hands with Richard Nixon. It hung in the Mayors office. Late one evening after everyone went home. I took it down to the lab. I zoomed in on Evel’s left eye a 100x and enhanced it. It was an address. I went to the address. It was a modest, 1970’s style, split level ranch home in the suburbs.
-----------------------------------
Inside I found a dead parrot lying on a waterbed. I revived the parrot with some saltines and adrenaline. We became good friends. The parrots name was Randy. One night a few years later while Randy and me played Gin Rummy, he sang me a song about a fire. The title of this blog was never mentioned but I sensed it, and Randy confirmed it by giving me ‘THE LOOK’.

Several of my good friends used to put together a little podcast called The Viking Youth Power Hour. Luckily they got out of the whole thing before podcasting became too popular. But they did leave a bunch of wonderful episodes scattered about.
I’m thinking of doing a podcast myself but it will probably be more of a Waiting for Godot/David Lynch type of thing. Think Old Time Psychedelic Radio. Hopefully some of my old friends will pitch in with some pieces.
