I think this poor victim of AOL was directing this letter to me via the
newgroup. HEY MAN!!! Use the email address. Although this does give me a
chance to brag about meeting Morton Downey Jr.

YES I REMEMBER. I don't remember your NAME, just your FACE.

No, I RUN in circles. From the house to the high school to the P.O. to the
bank to the supermarket to the Trinity River bottoms to dump the
soul-drained "shells" of the Bobbies, and back to the house again,
sometimes 3 times a day.

It was well worth it to me to get a recording of Morton Downey Jr. reading
about "Bob's" childhood from THE BOOK OF THE SUBGENIUS. It's true that
Downey didn't appear to hear a word I said, but having that one clip of
him haltingly reading THE BOOK is a choice chunk for playing completely
out of context as Hour of Slack "punctuation." So I'm really glad you set
that interview up!

Yeah, what HAVE you done for ME lately??

Too bad it folded. You'd have a lot more contributors now.

You know, I saw all 2 or 3 issues of that zine and I never could figure
out WHICH SIN you guys were hating me for. I mean, there was never any
REASON given to hate Stang aside from the fact that I hardly ever let
anybody else on the radio show except via tape.

I have really enjoyed the uses to which the term Bobbie has been put. I
would challenge anyone to find an example of me ever refering directly to
any specific person as a "Bobbie." Well, once when Buck pissed me off, I
quoted him as describing himself as "the first Bobbie"... which is not
accurate. Technically, I was the first Bobbie. And come to think of it, we
did used to refer to a couple of specific San Francisco criminally-minded
assholes as "model Bobbies." But not publically.
By definition, the "Bobbie" is always the OTHER guy, anyway. It's a vague
term that gives us more to HATE.

Well, it's kind of a moot point, isn't it? I don't think anybody here
feels threatened that the gigantic income produced by Media Barrage tapes
will be offset appreciably by 10-second bites that take an hour to
download. Hell, the BOOTLEGS end up excerpted on EUROPEAN PUNK MUSIC CDs
nowadays.

I think "Bob" meant you were supposed to TELL us when you MOVED. Even
"Bob's" psychic abilities don't extend to mail forwarding, at least not
when we WANT them to.
