Here's this week's show, about runaways, mostly metaphorical. It's pretty difficult to write songs I think about actual runaways. By the way, the most common definition for runaway I can think of - "a young person, especially a teenager, who has run away from home" - is number 5 (!) at dictionary.com. The number one definition is "a person who runs away; fugitive; deserter." Which is the original definition it had when it entered the English language, because of the sense of "running away," which one does from danger (or in a military situation). But in my lifetime, the "teenager" definition seems to predominate. I don't think that they take calls from deserters on the National Runaway Safeline.
Since this is a mostly ridiculous show, we don't get into that heavy stuff (we touch on it a bit) so apologies if some of it comes across as glib. We are just being goofy, we don't really want to be insensitive. Which is kind of the show's mantra, come to think of it.
Listen now at kboo.fm or at selfhelpradio.net. If you choose the show's website, you'll need a username (SHR) & a password (selfhelp). I think the KBOO site just recording 150 minutes of the show, so if you're the sort of weirdo who wants to hear three full hours of this, you'll need to go to the SHR website. Everything that happens on the show is below.
Take care of yourself!
