May 13th 2002

First Show of the Summer.

We revealed the first book in our Oprah - An Online Bookclub bookclub.
It was an essay entitled "Admitting You Have Flaws: Now What?".
Discussion was saved for next week.

It was also the premiere of Hank Lazard's new segment, The San Francisco Dump.
This segment resulted in a phone call from San Francisco. Caller David Malloy was very concerned.
It turns out he had nothing to worry about.

Also worthy of a note is the fact that The Famous Ashtray is now playing Birmingham Local Music.
Birmingham Bands should go to the Blazeradio Local Music Page for more information.

Oprah - An Online Book Club Bookclub revealed its second book.
Email was open for comments. Phones were open for comments. Essays were available for distribution in the hallway.
We received one phone call from loyal listener Jennifer (formally of the Cheese and Toast Show). She made the statement that after reading the book she believes that good looking people buy peaches and ugly people buy pears.
Hank was asked to comment on this comment, but he had not read the book.

A debate was refueled as to whether Hank Lazard watches "Doc" on PAX TV or if it just happens to be on when he is in the room.
