Yes, last night's Self Help Radio featured little - if any - actual glam music. A listener - who asked me to play David Bowie & I didn't - said he did hear some glam influence. Which I guess is possible if one is writing a song about glam.
But the show was also about glamour! Which comes from glam. Which reminds me, why is it glamour with a u but glamorous without a u? & isn't it weird to write "a u." Since the letter u is a vowel, you feel visually it would be more correct to write "an u." But since the letter u is pronounced "you" (or sometimes "yew") (& often "yoo" as in "yoo hoo!") & there's a consonant in the pronounced world, we have what I call the "hard article" a rather than the "soft article" an. Which is also why we say "give me an m, Pat" on Wheel Of Fortune when clearly it sound be a m, because m is a consonant. & by the way, I don't mean a m like "ante meridiem" & don't even get me started as to where it's even possible for noon to be 12 pm - which is to say "post meridiem" since "meridiem" means "noon." 12 am could be either noon or midnight in this scenario & what a headache that would be.
Was I supposed to be talking about something else? Oh yeah, my new etymologically-based stand-up is coming to a YouTube near me sometime never. Also, this week's show can be listened to if you want.
The glam & glamour show is at the Self Help Radio website now or whenever you're ready. Please remember that you'll need a username - which is "SHR" - & a password - which is "selfhelp" - without the quotation marks - to listen. It's nearly three hours long! It gets kinda tedious. Sorry. What happens on the show is detailed below.
