4th of July 35 Years Gone

This was produced by the U.S. Government, specifically the U.S. Information Agency back in 1976 to commemorate our nation's 200th! Timothy Leary was probably envious of whatever it was those folks in U.S.I.A. were on. Holy trippy Batman!

FrankenBio

Born: July 1st

Favorite Expression: I did what?

Before Mix 97.7: College radio at Waynesburg (in PA) and West Virginia University, then on to my first job at WDVE and then WXDX in Pittsburgh. The Edge (now the X) in Dayton OH followed. Then out of radio and a lot of bartending, a stint as Goofy at Disney and then back in radio at K-104. Not too long after that I was here in Poughkeepsie first at WPDH and eventually here at Mix 97.7

Weakness: Being a rabid Pittsburgh Pirate fan (it’s a heavy burden). Also my two fur balls Benny and Shoes along with a new, slobbery addition named Shana.

Strength: My Maria.

Fears: The Pirates actually winning. I’m sure it would cause some psychological damage.

Favorite Movies: Birdy, It’s a Wonderful life and any other Jimmy Stewart or Frank Capra film, Brazil and the rest of Terry Gilliam, A Bridge Too Far, Star Wars (first three), Pan’s Labyrinth, all Monty Python, Matewan and a number of other John Sayles movies. John Hughes flicks when I felt as if I were living them. Big Fish, Miller’s Crossing, Once Upon a Time in America, Hope and Glory, The Fifth Element, 1900, Lawrence of Arabia, M*A*S*H, The Time of our Lives, My Favorite Year, Galipoli….

Favorite TV Shows: Lost, NCIS, Eureka, Heroes, Doctor Who and anything else from the BBC. Also, the sadly canceled Farscape and Firefly series and, well, the Sci-Fi channel in general.

Favorite Books: Everything and anything from Gene Wolfe, the Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and the Dirk Gently books of Douglas Adams, The Great Gatsby, To Kill A Mockingbird, Mary Stewart’s The Crystal Cave and her other King Arthur books, all Neil Gaiman, Weaveworld by Clive Barker, Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series, Dune, Lucifer’s Hammer and other Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle collaborations.

Secret Talent: It would be nice.

Heroes: Jeremiah in Promotions.

Favorite Waste of Time: Poetry, my fantasy baseball and football teams, Neatorama.com and my other blog iamfrankenberry.blogspot.com (if I could ever get around to actually wasting my time on it).
