You Know Who... Hasn't Eaten Today

-
"Cow Milked While Flying in an Airplane Day" is celebrated annually on February 18 to commemorate the day in 1930 when a cow named Nellie Jay became the first cow to be flown and milked in an airplane. The event was part of a scientific effort to study the effect of height on cows’ ability to produce milk. In the 72-mile flight over Bismarck, Missouri, Nellie’s milk was put in paper cartons and parachuted down to the spectators to generate publicity.
 
Today is also the 53rd anniversary of the first episode of the King Biscuit Flower Hour.
 
I’m sure it’s the thing about the cow, though, that will be invading your dreams tonight.
 
There was music played today, too (some of it about cows).

For All of Your LIC Radio Needs…

It feels a little inappropriate that I should be starting this site. After all, LIC Radio was Walker’s baby. He brought together a community both of listeners and broadcasters that has been a source of light-hearted diversion in good times, and a source of comfort and connection in dark times. Yeah, I know I might be making it sound too significant for a platform that used to host a segment called “Fart of the Week,” but sometimes you need to get your head into the gutter in order to gaze at the stars. In any event, a while back a friend hit me with a “hey, what’s that song” kind of query, and asked if there was some kind of way I could post the playlists from the shows. Hence this blog. It may lack bells and whistles, and not nearly enough pornography to justify any use of bandwidth, but if you listen to a show (at least one of the “You Know Who…” segments) and want to know what that song was or who that artist was, it’s here. And if you didn’t listen to the show, there’s a link t...

Also played some amazing songs by Talking Heads, Joe Jackson, and Edgar Winter’s White Trash.   Click here to check it out: LICRadio 2/27/2025     Rick Wakeman “Anne of Cleves” (Rick Wakeman) BBC Studios, London, UK, 2/27/73 Studio version released on The Six Wives of Henry VIII   (A&M, 1973)     Roberta Flack "I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)" (Michael McDonald, Ed Sanford, Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller) City Hall, Sheffield, UK, 10/22/84 Originally recorded and released by Michael McDonald on If That’s What It Takes   (Warner Bros., 1982)     Daddy Long Legs “C—ksucker Blues” (Mick Jagger, Keith Richards) Single A-side (Norton, 2010)     The Mynah ...
