I think that is something you can probably bank on. The stories from "inside" that place get stranger and stranger. I understand their Program Director finally left the building this past Thursday (or so) after not getting paid for a month (or so).

I don't think I am. I don't think I was earlier, either.
How can I be in two places at once when I'm not anywhere at all?
Dear Dr. Whiplash...Why have I written you before?
I'm planning on spending my vacation in the beautiful Isles Of Langerhans.
Why is there air?
Don't squash that dwarf. Hand me the pliers.

Uh...it depends. Who wants to know?
Perhaps Rod Serling may have the answer...but...from another dimension. A dimension where there is no space and there is no time. Perhaps a dimension only conceivable in...The Twlight Zone.
The rest of it, I really can't say. It's way too early in the morning. But I know this is from Firesign Theatre:
Also of interest, at the time anyway, was one of their albums called "We're All Bozos On This Bus." (I've related to that numerous times in my life!). A lot of Album Rock stations back in the day played cuts from them, mainly at night, however.
Switching gears, but still talking about creativity, I told someone the other day about tuning across C-Span once and seeing some dude testifying before a Senate sub-committee about harmful lyrics in rock music. Wait, I thought, let me go back and check this out. It was Frank Zappa! You youngsters probably have no idea, no idea at all. But do yourself a favor and look him up and sample some of his work.
Zappa had two kids, Moon Unit and Dweezil, and his band was called "The Mothers of Invention." Jazz, rock, blues, alternative, and numerous other musical genres were all present in Frank's work. I don't remember whether the old KLOL played much Zappa but wouldn't it nice to hear some of his stuff, Firesign Theatre or even Monty Python these days? While you ponder that, along with whether Houston needs a real active rock station, remember this: "the crux of the biscuit...is the apostrophe." That's right, the crux, not the Buzz...or the Point.

Considering one of the former partners and the stated owner were just ordered by the Feds to cough up millions to their defrauded investors, I doubt you'll hear them anywhere soon. You might come across them someday on something like PrizRadio.

Nice to see at least a few people on this board are familiar with Firesign Theatre, which was a staple of free-form progressive FM radio in the late 60's and early 70's. Somewhere George Tirebiter is smiling.
I had a bunch of Firesign Theatre albums back in the day, and most have been re-released on CD in recent years. The group is still active: http://www.firesigntheatre.com/
Firesign Theatre was much in the same vein as "The Goon Show" which I haven't heard on the air anywhere in a looooong time...
