Talk Show 4 theme? – childhood hero. It’s surprising and I guess telling who some writers’ heroes of youth were and why. I mean T-Cooper? Everyone who’s read this seems to ask wait, what about Radar, or that guy in drag? In any case, M*A*S*H* to most of my generation was in general a stay up late re-run privelege that tended to bleed into the burdensome when older fanatics hogged control of the remote, in a post prime time herb and Cheetohs induced existential coma. But it’s a great unexpected off the waller (the young sly Alda) and there’s a good variety of heoric fanfare from a fine selection of writers this month. Hosted by Jaime Clarke and with art as usual by Danny Jock.
