Self Help Radio 080320: Flight

(Original image here.  For some reason.)

This morning - I'd like to tell you - the radio show called Self Help Radio took flight!  It took it & frankly it took it too far.  Why does it feel the need to take a very nice topic like "flight" & beat it to death?  I'd suggest it has a problem.

Never-the-less, that show - which many would say never really got off the ground - has landed & has been taxied back to the hangar at the website Self Help Radio dot net.  Some say it's gone there for repairs & for refueling.  Others say it simply sits there most of the week & licks its wounds.  Still others say, "What exactly are you talking about? A self-help radio show?  What?"

But can't a show at least dream of flying?  Can a show dream at all?  Why are we placing restrictions on dreams all of a sudden?  This supposition has taken a very dark turn.  If Self Help Radio wants to doze & speed into the air like the radio waves that carry it, who are you to be so freakin' literal to tell it it can't?  Oh my gosh!  What happened to you?

Anyway, show at website.  Username: SHR.  Password: selfhelp.  Two hours, many songs, a few interviews.  Details below.

It's like I don't even know who you are any more.
