WFMU's Beware of the Blog

Motor/Mouth: DIane Kamikaze

Motor/Mouth is a bi-weekly series all about WFMU staffer's rides, whether motorized or non, private vehicle or public transportation, new and fuel-efficient or old and ready for the junk heap: everyone's got to get to the station somehow.

This week we meet Diane Kamikaze's ride:

Main form of transportation: 2007 Subara Forester, mileage unknown, purchased a year ago in Jersey City.

What made you pick it? Armed with a 6 cd changer and it's black (grrrr)

Your nickname for it: Don't have one.

How much longer will you keep it? At least until the next Motorhead album comes out.

Favorite thing about it: Its headlights look like Iron Man's eyes.

Least favorite thing about it: It can't fit a hundred people in it.

Rate your satisfaction level from 1 – 10: 10.

What is your dream form of transportation? Teleportation.

Anything else you’d like to mention: Diane's Kamikaze Fun Machine 3-6 Thursdays.

Awkward Jerry Lewis Moments #2

I can't imagine how difficult it would have been to be the son of Jerry Lewis. Lewis was and is a bizarre showbiz creature, and I don't mean to disparage his career in anyway as I am actually a fan. However, whenever taken out of the Jerry Lewis character and thrown into the limelight to act as himself, the results were that of a naked Id on display making even the strongest of us cringe. This 1965 episode of Hulaballoo had the famous father sharing the stage with his suddenly famous son Gary Lewis (and his Playboys) as co-hosts. Jerry's jealousy is an awkward hour long exercise for all to endure. At times it is part of the act, in other obvious moments it is not. This is the whole episode.
