Sunday Brunch Concert: Parker's Tangent postponed

Due to heat conditions in the room and expected traffic from the parade in Bridgeport, the Parker's Tangent concert has been postponed. We will reschedule for later in the summer. We'll even try to find a location with air conditioning! My apologies to the band and their friends for this inconvenience, but you'll thank me later.

Today's concert will be a selection of recent performances from the jam band world.

Jerry Garcia night with the S.F. Giants

The Giants will honor one of San Francisco's most beloved native sons on the 15th anniversary of Jerry Garcia's passing with two baseball traditions, and what could only be described as a Pranksterish stunt. According to Relix:

Garcia’s daughter Annabelle will throw out the first pitch while Bob Weir will perform the National Anthem. Later, during the seventh inning stretch, Mickey Hart will attempt to set a Guinness World Record for the world’s largest kazoo ensemble, leading more than 7,000 fans in “Take Me Out To The Ball Game.”

We have to be grateful that Micky's not leading a vuvuzela ensemble.

Independence Day

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness....

We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

Phish dropping TTE from live repertoire

Citing overwhelming negative feedback on the internet, Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio announced that Phish would no longer perform their epic song Time Turns Elastic. Fans on internet forums have been complaining about the song since it was introduced, and venue managers across the country have been blaming the song for several trampling incidents caused by mass rushes to the restrooms.

"You know, you just can't please everybody," said Anastasio. "We liked the song, but the custies don't, and we owe it to them to give them a good show. Time Turns Elastic was an ambitious composition that didn't translate well on stage. We're hoping that Fishman's new vuvuzela quartet is more to the crowd's liking."

Help keep underwriting announcements off WPKN!

Next Tuesday, June 15th, WPKN staff will vote on a constitutional amendment that would allow paid commercial underwriting announcements on the air. WPKN has avoided this for the 20 years it has been listener supported. Underwriting announcements will alter the sound of WPKN, and not for the better. In addition to the phony commercials run during programming, there will be increasing pressure to alter the schedule so that the right kind of programs are at the right times for the corporate sponsor's advertising.

You can help stop this before it starts. Whenever you're listening to WPKN, call the programmer who's on the air and ask him or her to vote NO on the constitutional amendment. The phone number is 203-331-9756.

Thank you. The future of WPKN's integrity depends on you.
