Identities

Quite a few people became fairly unhinged by the whole Plain Layne saga.

Saint Paul from Fraters Libertas is one of them.

First, he expressed doubts that Sheila O'Malley, Virginia Postrel, Elaine Cassel and Robb L. Monkey were really women. I suppose that in the aftermath of Layne, it's natural to be cautious.

But then:

Swam toward the hole in the water? My confusion over this statement is similar to what I experience when reading Lambert.
I'll try to type slower.
I don't want to start any rumors. But has anyone ever seen "Mitch Berg" and Brian Lambert in the same room together?
December 18, 1985. Lambert fills in for Geoff Charles on the mid-morning show on KSTP-AM. I was there, and several people saw us in the same room. Granted, Don Vogel "saw" nothing, and he and John MacDougall are dead, and most of the station's staff is scattered to the four winds, and Kathy Wurzer ain't telling ("What happens at KSTP, stays at KSTP") - but there we were.

Saint reminds me of the glory days of Don Boxmeyer.

And JB Doubtless might ave been Jim Klobuchar...

I gotta give this one to you Mitch. Robb from Infinite Monkeys is unquestionably a woman. What ever was our dear friend Saint Paul thinking?

(Imagine Keanu Reeves...)

Whoah!

(/Imagine)

I haven't thought about Don 'The Round Mound of Sound' Vogel in ages!

Did you ever hear Tommy Mischke's story about one of their State Fair appearances?

(For those who don't remember Don, he was a fantastic radio host who happened to be blind.)

As his producer, Tommy was responsible for helping Don get around. This included escorting him when nature called. So Tommy guides him to the restroom, ushers him through the door, and then says, "Here, let me get the light for ya."

Don just said, "Thanks Tommy."

Cranky,

That was my job with Don, too. Dave Elvin and I used to do the same sort of thing when we were on live appearances. "Hey, Don - check out the redhead".
