More people I like ...

I like Lady Gaga because, you know, she entered the entertainment field through the kitchen.

I like people like that.

It is like working as a paraprofessional in a library where everybody treats the paraprofessionals like clerks until the librarians want to go home and want you to do the job of a librarian. And then going and getting your master's. And getting a job. And being nice to the paraprofessionals.

Not quite like that but -- you know what I mean.

Folks who enter through the kitchen are all right by me.

Alf from KTCL: Alf is great. I love driving home from my father's on Sunday nights because he has this retro show. He is about my age, too, so he always says little things that make me feel so WAY nostalgic.

Like I used to run home from the bus stop to watch MTV with the girl across the street, Stacey Barnett. (And if you ever Google yourself and hit on this blog entry, Stacey, please know that I found a pic of you on Google and, GIRL YOU LOOK FABULOUS. Really. You do. And I wouldn't just say that.)

Anyhoo. Tonight Alf said something about this Culture Club video and how it made him think of eating cereal in front of MTV.

I like other things about him, too. He's a local -- so we've got that, too. (Except he is a "Creeker" who graduated in '88.) Alf is an educated person. And educated in mathematics and Asian religion, to boot. That's just cool.

And he is out. If there is one thing to love, it is an out person.

So. Anyway. You're cool, Alf. I always, always want to call in a song for your Sunday night retro show but feel like you'll think whatever song I choose is a cliche. Like Wishing by FOS or Windows by Missing Persons.

But, Alf my brother, you sound pretty unassuming and cool, so that could just be me being my freaky self.

I also like Locals Only. That's great. You turned it from a show that no one wanted to host to a show that can help break a local act.

So, um, Alfie: If you are ever Googling yourself for kicks and you happen to read every single result and hit on this blog entry, would you please play the two songs I mentioned -- just some random Sunday -- during the retro show?

Thanks, my brother.

Peace out.
