Late Night Program

Hippy guy:
KDOG, Radio Free America. Was just sitting around looking through our music library and started thinking about all of the great rock, pop and alternative songs that would be good in the movies.

You know, the cameraman and the music work together at showing us things about the characters. We see from the angle shots and the music from the audience perspective what's going on with the character long before they do. But it, well, it's like the camera angles and the music are always getting us to suspect what's next. And there's something kind of rewarding in that. Just a wee bit of suspense and then the payoff that we're usually right in a general way, but sometimes just as surprised as the character when the unforeseeable occurs. Ain't movies cool?

Hey, it's late night and you're listening to KDOG with The Hippy Guy. Well, it's late night where I am. It could be any time where you are. Our program goes out around the country, around the world, and across the universe. Nixon, Bush. It's like deja vu all over again. And, well, for me, I think that has to do with American forgetfulness. Every generation seems to end up fighting it's own war, simply because they haven't learned the lessons of history. We simply didn't know, didn't appreciate, or didn't remember why war itself is a failure, not a road to success. But, well, it's up to every generation to teach the youngsters and not to let them forget. And unfortunately we can't always count on the media to do these things unless we regulate corporate money making interests in the media. Otherwise, public opinions are for sale to the highest bidder rather than based upon education, facts, reason and public responsibilities.

The news, you know. It shouldn't be a business. It should be first and foremost a public service. After which, if they do it well and it makes more , money more power to them.
