Blah blah I'm playing more indiepop in alphabetical order this week blah blah.
What I wanted to say is that I got a funny text from a listener of The Dickenbock Report today. The whole schtick of the show is that there's this very old, somewhat famous news anchor, Dick Dickenbock, who has a show based on his fame but who never shows up & I'm the host. People text me at XRAY & call me "Dick," as do my guests, although I'm obviously not him, as he is fictional & I am not (I hope). But it's super fun when people play along. I got this text today:
Can you pass on a message to Dick. Tell him that this month's snort and bubbles party is at Bob and Mildred's. Jack and Emma are on vacation. (Dick calls them the Jackhammers! He's such a card!)
It's also very flattering when people step into the dumb world I've created. It delights me.
For the record, I texted back:
I'll pass along the message, thank you. Dick Dickenbock will be very grateful - he thought he might not be welcome since last time he brought that llama - he was afraid it was too show-offish.
Or something like that.
Now all I need to do is find someone who can impersonate Dick Dickenbock when he finally appears on the show...
