Here's the weirdest thing about this week's show (which is about guitars): I will have finished the show, which airs on Wednesdays, before I'll know who's won the presidency.
What do you mean, Gary? You mean, you don't know? Self Help Radio is prerecorded. I turn the show in Tuesday afternoons. But you know what else is happening Tuesday? Right: either the historic election of the first woman President Of The United States, or the last election for an American President, as Emperor Trump takes the tacky gold-plated throne. & there's absolutely no way for me to know which (I mean, polls favor Clinton, but I am pessimist & know there are going to be stories about white supremacists beating people of color up tomorrow). & certainly that would affect how I would act on the show - elation & relief if Clinton won, fear & exasperation if Trump won.
None of that will be on display on this week's show. Because I won't know. It will be as if the show took a twenty-four hour nap & woke up & gabbed about shit for two hours like nothing monumental has happened.
It's driving me nuts! I almost thought about skipping the show this week. But my "guests" have contributed, & I have all these damn songs about guitars, so...
