Whad’ya Know, It’s 1985

All right, it’s June 1st, 1985. (Humor me).
I’m doing the first and possibly the last Whad’ya Know? in historic Philo Buck studio, 7th floor Vilas Hall, WHA radio, first to broadcast to all the ships at sea, etc, etc.
But, I am still living and drawing unemployment in Chicago while suffering PTSD from WGN Who-Goes-Next radio experience, attached at the hip to a copter traffic reporter; Cantaloupe and Feldstein as Uncle Bobbie called us.
I will tell you that when I went to unemployment on Division Street and they asked what I was looking for, I told them drive time would be nice, no partner, 50k to start but that’s negotiable.
They told me they had lawn care for 4.83/hr (4.85 in today’s dollars) but I would have no partner. Tempting.
Anyway the erstwhile Jack Mitchell, head of Wisconsin Public Radio, my mentor/tormenter on a couple of earlier shows on WHA, sensing desperation in my on-air persona, met me half-way exactly at the Clock Tower (because of the clock and the tower) Inn, Rockford, asked me what I would like to do should I come back. With both ‘nothing’ and ‘never’ rising in my gorge, and trooper that I am not, I said I don’t know, something national I think (WGN’s 50,000 watts reached most of the same territory as Lewis & Clarke, a heady experience for a kid from Milwaukee). Calls-in’s, but not on hot button issues, small talk radio, maybe a quiz to get people to call in, live audience, because without them I’m dead, a little combo for musical fills if we can find someone to work as cheap as John Thulin.

“OK, let’s do it . . . ” [Jack Mitchell imitation here]
Ah, well, I says to myself,

Hillary LinkedOut

Hillary LinkedOut
Hillary Clinton says she’s joined LinkedIn, presumably in case another sure thing stumbles and falls at the gate. Only she hasn’t joined: I give you all the Hillary Clintons currently active on LinkedIn:

–Hillary Clinton, Warner Music Group
—    ”            ”  Owner, Foaming Concepts
—    ”            ”  Commander, Seals Structuring Seals (?)
—    ”            ”  Health, Wellness & Fitness
—    ”            ”  Mechanic, Ford Motor Company
—    ”            ”  Ms.
—    ”            ”  Fine Art

I checked, and Foaming Concepts is not her, could not get a feel for what a Commander at Seals Structuring Seals might command (so have written it off as something, personally, worth retiring into) chuckled at Ford mechanic, Health, Wellness Fitness, Ms., and Fine Art, and that’s all she wrote. You may think, “Hillary, well, she’s probably exclusive, or some kind of premium listing,” but, you should know, you’d have no trouble reaching Sarah Palin with pretty much any kind of offer if the money’s there.

More than a little amused speculation as to why Hillary, or anybody else, would join LinkedIn, but perhaps one should ask who wouldn’t since who isn’t LinkedIn–not Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, Marco Rubio, Mitt Romney, Rush Limbaugh, Ted Cruz, Rudy Giuliani, Rand Paul and Karl Rove.  No Al Gore, unless it’s the senior IT guy at the American Red Cross, is not, but that’s just the way things are going for Al. So, and at any rate, Hillary is in good if not stellar company, or will be once her application to LinkedIn is vetted by the Select Benghazi Committee.
BONUS! To date, hc2 here’s the only Hillary Clinton you might like to LinkIn:

Ich bin ein Milwaukeean!

dad porch

There are those who say jaywalking cannot be curbed.
Let them come to Milwaukee!
There are those who would have us believe that lawn care cannot be a way of life.
Let them come to Milwaukee!
There are those who do not know the difference between a bubbler and a water fountain, and God knows where they’ve been soaking their feet—let them come to Milwaukee!
Yes, my friends, I am proud to say,
“Ich bin ein Milwaukeean!”

THE AUTHOR, pandering to Milwaukeeans
They say you can’t go home again. You can, but you discover they’ve put green siding on it. I’m not kidding; our old house looks like a record-breaking avocado. When I think all of the times I risked a heart attack watching Dad go up on that three-story ladder to paint it tan. The cement-block retaining wall he built—The Great Wall of Dave Feldman—looks like Joshua’s been there. That was a great wall, too—you could crouch behind it and rain snowballs (plague-like) on Uptown Motors across the alley with near-complete impunity. The object was to see if you could startle the salesmen into dropping their feet off their desks and run¬ning out into -the lot long enough for you to slip in and grab the keys to a sharp-looking Hudson fastback. We never got that far, but a guy could dream.
The alley’s even in disrepair, if an alley can be in disrepair. I don’t know, I’ve never seen a new one. That alley was the world to me—playground, escape route, toboggan slide. With proper icing, you could sled all the way from Fifty-eight Street to Ruth’s Sweet Shop on Fifty-first, knocking Rabbi Twerski off his feet on Fifty-third if you cut it too close to sunset. But if you got past Twerski, it was a round of wax lips for everybody.
I didn’t knock on the door. I was afraid we still lived there and I’d be back in the damn bedroom with Arthur, my Moriarty, trying to sleep in the beds Dad built in without benefit of box springs. I used to pool up at night like a blob of mercury. Arthur in those days was some kind of nematode, a night creature that came up from the basement (where, generally, he had been converting my bike into a golf cart, or failing in an attempt to make my six-transistor radio into a two-transistor radio) to bed only in the wee hours, flipping on the light and whistling while he filed between his toes with his sweat sock. The upside was that my bad dreams, by comparison, didn’t seem so bad. There were actually worse accommodations in the house: Howard slept in the sun-room, which was on Highway 41. An amazing number of cattle moved past our house. We felt like the only Jews on the Santa Fe trail.

Mother was the only one who liked the house. With all those strings of lights over the used-car lots, she didn’t have to put on the kitchen light. And it was convenient; in winter, Barger’s bakery was only a black-and-blue fall and swollen knee down the alley which, unfortunately, we had iced that day for a new try at the record: all the way down to Sherman Park at Forty-third Street. (Never, to my knowledge, been done, although Mom came the closest.)

———–photo David A. Feldman. He made the porch, too.
