That image above - is it a scarecrow? - from a display in the window of a neighborhood salon, Dye Dye My Darling. My wife insisted I take a picture to share with you for this show. I guess it's a scarecrow. It seems a mixture of alien & scarecrow. Which is a movie I'd like to see!
Yes, tonight is Self Help Radio's annual Halloween show & this year it's about scarecrows. I've tried to pick the spookier songs about scarecrows I can find but the subject matter lends itself often more toward the sad - a scarecrow is a pathetic figure, wearing cast-off clothes, standing forever alone in a field. Its one job to keep living things away from itself. Until it climbs down & murder everyone! & who can blame it?
That's tonight, midnight to 2am, on 90.7fm in Portland, online everywhere at kboo dot fm. That's right, it starts at the witching hour! I hope you're safe in your homes....
