Oh, speaking of work, I was in the elevator with someone who had a guest, and she was saying, "Oh, because you're on radio, you have that anonymity," and he said, "Sometimes people do recognize my voice in public..." and I couldn't figure out who it was! And forgot to ask around, because clearly it was some NPR type in town for an event, so I'm sure I could figure it out, but I felt like a failure for not getting it.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Hah, Jesse. You fail at being an NPR groupie.
I swear, I would totally recognize the voices of Susan Stamburg, Scott Simon, Bob Edwards, or Robert J. Lurtzema anywhere. Oh, and Sylvia Pogiolli (sp?).

Also, Click and Clack and Nina Totenburg.

A lot of them, I'd recognize their faces, even! But not this guy. I will try to remember tomorrow and report back.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Susan Stamburg
She was on an MSNBC program last week and I was looking down and as soon as I heard her, I exclaimed!
I swear some of the NPR people's voices I may know better than my own friends.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, this is cool. I'm listening to my iTunes music playing over my stereo via an Apple TV. The Apple TV is set to show a screen saver while music is playing, which is showing pictures from Tom Scola's flickr account.
Nice pictures, Tom. Although they go oddly with The Cure.

OK, people in my neighborhood have finally figured out what happened today. There was a fire and a domestic disturbance around the corner at the same time. People saw the big mess o' fire trucks and cop cars and ambulance and assumed it was all one event.

Yup, but I spent years waking up to his Morning Pro Musica. Jazz and birdsong.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Apparently if I google "british rocker actor" the third image result is actually the actor I was trying to remember. Michael Des Barres indeed.
