Things I’d Pay A Lot of Money To Hear Again

It was sometime late in 1986 when Dave Elvin managed to book Country Dick Montana, the eccentric drummer of California cowpunk band the Beat Farmers, on the Don Vogel show.  It was one of the most hilarious interviews of all time.  We’d been using the Farmers’ classic “Happy Boy” as a bumper whenever we needed to cheer Don up, either literally or theatrically.  It always worked, of course – there are few funnier songs, ever.

I remember nothing about the interview except that Montana, who claimed to have just stepped out of the shower, kept Vogel in stitches for twenty minutes.
