If you listen to my show, it's steeped in 1960s pop culture, but it's been filtered through experiencing it second-hand as a kid in the 1980s and 1990s. I'm sure a lot of people my age had the same experience.

I was raised by a Zenith ChromaColor II, what can I say?

I've been watching old TV to escape the news, and cripes, James Best was in everything in the 1960s. He's in at least three episodes of "Twilight Zone," two "Perry Mason" and "The Andy Griffith Show."

He had a big B-list career before "The Dukes of Hazzard":

I wrote to the mayor of Edina and to his credit, he wrote back! He defended his police and says that the clergy who were arrested "praised" his officers for their "professionalism."

Also, he says this isn't pee on my back, it's rain.

Any local reporters want to ask Edina Mayor James Hovland about this letter he just signed yesterday? And now his cops are out rounding up priests?

Remember, stock up on film and head cheese
