THE LATEST IN LEE & WOLFE NEWS:

((This issue: Drivin & Cryin', Lee: Justified and Ancient, Strippin' - see below.))

If you're new to the Fun-O-Rama, welcome! Remember, you can sorta kinda catch up with Lee & Wolfe news by reading back issues on the website [ http://v91.simplenet.com/leewolfe/fanzine.htm ].

"February 1, 1969"

To hear my Mom tell it, she had an appointment to go to the hospital on that fateful Saturday, to have labor induced. I was gonna be too big for a typical, merely horribly painful natural birth. I know, I know. For those who know me personally, it's funny to hear the phrase "too big" to describe me. Mom claims she drove herself to the hospital after fixing breakfast for my hungover father. Dad doesn't remember that part. Some hours later, Mom found herself deliriously mumbling her way out of anesthesia, only to hear someone yell "Shut her up and catch the kid!" She insists this is true. To this day, I occasionally must hear how the pain lasted, and how they had to "cut her," like Rocky in the first movie, but in a more personal way. On February 2nd, she got me back by having me circumcised, and I spent the next ten years with ugly hair and bell bottoms. Christmas 1976 I got a tape recorder, and began pretending to be a DJ. The rest, as they say, is boring.

This week's show is the last I do as a twenty-something. This means, as opposed to my normal routine of not acting my age, I will now be REALLY REALLY REALLY not acting my age. On Monday, I celebrate my 2nd annual 29th birthday. Probably the best idea is to e-mail me your credit card information so I can order myself a gift from cdw.com, amazon.com, or hustler.com. Condolences and expressions of sympathy can be addressed to lee@leeandwolfe.com. Be sure to write and tell me how I look WAY younger than I am. As a person born before Woodstock, the first moon landing, and Watergate, I need to hear such things. Monday I will be old enough to be a United States Senator. Unfortunately for Clinton, it's too late for me to unseat Alabama Senators Sessions or Shelby.

Please pass the Centrum Silver...

 

"Strip Girls Were in My Apartment"

Tuscaloosa has an "entertainment" magazine / newspaper. (When used in reference to Tuscaloosa, the word "entertainment" must be put in quotes.) This publication is called The Strip. Misty Estes writes for said same Strip. Her name might be spelled Estus, but I seem to have misplaced my most recent cherished issue. Then again, estus sounds like some phase of the female monthly cycle, so that's probably not it. Misty, along with her far-too-young-to-be-that-cute sister named Sparrow, spent time with Wolfe and I Thursday as we prepared to do the show tonight. We debated cigarette smoking, the fallacy of astrology, and the legitimacy of the swing music fad, while her micro-cassette recorder broke. And on this basis, Misty plans to write an article about us. Therefore, I can't wait to read it. She will be hangin' with us tonight during the show, so send some e-mail or call to praise us greatly so we can show off. :-)

 

 

ON THE SHOW:

"Band-wise"

Friday, January 29th, in the 7 o'clock hour, we will be delighting to the live music of Drivin' & Cryin'! And don't worry, they will be forbidden to play the "goin' straight to hell" song. Remember you can call the studio at (205)348-6082 , e-mail, or "instant message" us and the vehicularly depressed ones, since we will be online some during the Friday show on New Rock, and attempting to impress a member of the Tuscaloosa "entertainment" media.

"Other-wise"

Don't forget about our Saturday show on Planet Rock 92.5! It still has that new smell, but we encourage you to tune in if you're in the B'ham area from 7 - 10pm, and give us a call at (205)833-3731. We'll put you on the air to join us in making asses of ourselves. Fun fun.

 

 

THE STRANGEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE:

Easily the strangest thing I have ever seen in my entire life--on TV--is the pink-haired alien lady of TBN. Very, very strange. Intern Heather found an equally strange parody website concerning the tacky zealots of TBN. [ http://www.cris.com/~zeke33/tbn.shtml ] TV religion: just say no.

The strangest thing Wolfe has ever seen is Bananarchy in the Ukraine. Now *that's* funny. "Bananarchy is the destruction, mayhem, and fear brought on by bananas." Discover how to make banana weapons and more at [ http://www.docker.com/~hillmanjr/bananarchy.html ].

You may think you've wasted time in your life. But you haven't really done so until you've spent hours talking to a computer via the web. Try talking to ALICE (Artificial Linguistic Computer Entity). Just ask questions and say things... strike up a conversation with silicon. [ http://209.66.64.80/ALICE/TALK ]. It's more creepy than strange.

 

Thanks again to all of you for reading, listening, writing, and keeping our lives a step above worthless...
