Happy new year to all my Jewish readers! I hope all of you, especially Katie Schwartz, Angry Ballerina, Mathman and family, Amy Guth, Boxer Rebellion, and Tony Kornheiser, have a sweet successful new year.
It's a long sleeve T shirt that ESPN radio put out a few years back. The shirt was promoting the now defunct Tony Kornheiser radio show. Tony's show was pure genius, it was a mix of esoteric sports talk, pop culture, left wing politics (which is a rarity on AM radio), rants about his wife and kids, and it was funny as hell. I used to listen to it everyday in my truck as I went about on my various sales jobs and there were several times I had to pull over because I was laughing so hard that tears were in my eyes and I could not see the road. Mr. Tony rarely took calls on show but one magic day he did take some calls, it was the last time he took them because he quit the show a few months later, and I got through and I got on the air. I never cared much for his Pardon the Interruption show which I think still runs on ESPN but I loved loved loved his radio show and I was sad to see it go from the free radio airwaves.
I'm not a heavy Pink Floyd fan, I love the Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here albums, and I've never seen them in concert, I just like this t shirt. It spoke to me with it's minimalist design and through it's use of muted colors. It's sufficiently retro but not cloyingly so. Also I seem to have to have at least one t shirt with a pig on it. My Piggly Wiggly t shirt is just about toast but I'll still have this one when it does bite the dust.I'll tag Enriched Geranium, Sujaco, and Rev. Shuck.
