Why do a show about the concept of mellow?
To challenge myself. To try to do something the opposite of what I am. For I am not mellow. It is very unlikely you will ever come across me in a mellow state. I am uptight. Worried. Anxious. Concerned. Ill at ease. Restless.
Let me see this week how the other half exists. Let me celebrate a state of mind (sometimes drug-induced) that is an unfamiliar to me as languages of which I know just a few words. Because I think the possibility exists that I could one day mellow out. Become more mellow. & perhaps a show that's mellow can be the first step in that process.
Unless I don't want to be mellow? Unless it turns out it's an undesirable condition?
But how else will I know? A show about mellowness, then, shall be like exploratory surgery. Let's get in there & have a look around. What could possibly go wrong?
Tomorrow morning from 7-9 am on 88.1 fm WRFL in Lexington proper. Online at wrfl dot fm in the world improper.
You don't need to be mellow to listen. At least, I hope not!
