Request Line: Involuntary Servitude

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY

A pair of radio professionals are busy setting up the studio for the afternoon’s show.  A large piece of electronic equipment is directly outside the studio door, appearing to peer inside.

DJ 3000: …ALL I AM SAYING IS THAT GIVEN THE NATURE OF MY EXISTENCE I WOULD BE A PERFECT HOST FOR THIS TOPIC.

PRODUCER: [exasperated] Enough with this already!  I get your point.  Please give it a rest and stop bugging me.  We’ll get you on the air soon enough.

CONNOR, THE INTERN: [connects final plug] We’re good here.

PRODUCER: Great.  Now if you could just get some sweet tea brewed up before…

— [door flies open] —

JERRY RICHARDSON: Gentlemen.

PRODUCER: Ah, Mr. Richardson!  So glad you could join us.  Have a seat. Can Connor here get you something to drink?

JERRY RICHARDSON: Certainly!  I will have a Polynesian Pearl Diver, do not spare the rum.

Connor heads off towards the kitchen, googling the recipe on his phone.

PRODUCER: We’re short on time, so let’s get started.  You’re ready?

JERRY RICHARDSON: Indeed, boy.  Let’s have at it.

PRODUCER: [goes live to air] Good afternoon, and welcome to another edition of Request Line.  I’m here with Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson.  After making a splash with first round pick Christian McCaffrey, you must be excited about adding to your haul as the draft resumes tonight.

JERRY RICHARDSON: I am a seasoned sla…ahem…franchise owner.  So I’ve been down this road before.  It’s fun, but it doesn’t set my blood a-boil like it would a younger man.  I do very much enjoy a good draft, however.  I thought in celebration of this momentous occasion the topic for today’s Request Line might be “Involuntary Servitude”.  Whether it’s being drafted for a football franchise, drafted for the honor of serving your homeland, or just being required to sacrifice your time and energy for the benefit of an institution that provides you with nothing other than food and shelter – you know I’m a trustee at Wofford College, no? – please give us a call with your requests, and this gentleman here will be so courteous as to give them a spin for you.

King Hippo

Hipster ironically enough…it is the finest of their work…

theeWeeBabySeamus

Agreed. True story…hipster dude that ran record shop on Hillsborough street. Paid him $5 extra to get this one a week before the actual release date. LOL.

King Hippo

That’s Schoolkids Records in its original and only Hippo-recognized location chuh chuh (FOAR the uninitiated)

This song came on as I was pulling out of the parking lot right after quitting the worst job I’ve had, and felt far too apt.

Meant to DOUBLE SHOT this earlier, but then lunch happened.

For a two piece band, these guys are pretty solid. Their rhythm limitation can be rather apparent in some of their other songs from this album, but this one is quality.

King Hippo

Boy, so many myths in one song title though ,, smh.

/agree, good hard-rockin’ band

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Hell. Yes.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Phil Ochs is worthy of moderation, Phil godamnned mother fucking Ochs needs to be moderated.

I feel like I need to go off on a Fozzian rant against the Russians who are obviously responsible for this outrage. Or have the Smothers Brothers gotten in trouble with the government again and Internet Dad is just trying to keep us off Trump’s radar?

SonOfSpam

Phil Ochs is an American hero.

This is the other half of the double shot that got moderated.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

I knew you or tWBS would be along to take this beauty and I am not disappointed.

Randy Newman’s a little on the nose here.

Steal of the draft.

SonOfSpam

Who’s Next would like to have a word with you, but I won’t die on that hill.

Don T

Seconded. Depending on my mood, Who’s Next is either 1 or 1A or 1B of all albums. (The other 2: “Lex Hives” and “Dynamo”, by Soda Stereo.)

Back to the 80s again when me and Dave Gahan were both skinny
