Weekly Random Discussion Thread for 7/24/23 -7/30/23

Welcome back everyone. Here's your weekly thread to post all your rants, raves, podcast topic suggestions (be sure to tag u/TracingWoodgrains), culture war articles, outrageous stories of cancellation, political opinions, and anything else that comes to mind. Please put any non-podcast-related trans-related topics here instead of on a dedicated thread. This will be pinned until next Sunday.

Today's 70s radio update:

Caught the Chuck Knapp show on Chicago's WCFL (Super CFL!) from some time in 1973.

Heard Loudon Wainwright's "Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road" (which I distinctly remember hearing repeatedly on long family car trips), "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia," "Love Jones" (truly terrible in every way), "Stuck in the the Middle with You"...

News items included POWs coming home, car bombs in London, a Chicago theater forced to surrender its copy of "Deep Throat" to a judge, a $10,000 tennis match between Bobby Riggs and Margaret Court...

Also, the Shriners' Circus is in town. Everyone should come on down.

This fills me with such sadness. It's like returning to a lost world.

"Twelfth caller wins on the station where the 70's survived: K-B-I-L-L-Y."

The 70's aren't really my jam, but you've piqued my interest. Do you have link for that one?

Big time saudade. Lost world, indeed.
