Over the weekend, the navy frigate USS Stark was attacked by Iraqi jets in the Persian Gulf, killing 37. Iraq claimed it was an accident; Reagan says the men will not have died in vain. A furious Bob takes to the air to call bullshit on Reagan and to outline why America's policy on the Gulf proves that they did indeed die in vain.
The first hour of this show is open phones, and we hear a bit of that. The rest features Dr. Lois Mueller, a Tampa psychologist who formerly hosted a show on WPLP, as Bob plays her classic calls to his show and invites her to give impromptu psychoanalysis. Good stuff, and a chance to hear some favorites.
An epic--one of the finest of Bob's career. He starts from Genesis and moves all the way through to the New Testament in addressing the fallacies and contradictions and downright impossibilities that permeate the Bible. Truly amazing.
Well, at any rate, Bob does start off the program giving tips for fighting phone phobia. Really, though, this is yet another open phones program, albeit one with a larger than usual assortment of weirdos. It does include an unusual conversation between Rocky, the Rock & Roll Klansman, and a black woman listener, plus an angry caller we'll eventually hear more from.
A list of questions in several categories: sex, religion, politics, and The Big Three, as Bob calls them (abortion, gun control, and the death penalty). You can probably predict where it goes from there, but it's fun hearing it go there nonetheless.
