26 Jul 99 - 02:47 PM (#99356) Subject: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: catspaw49 Click to Play - 9 PM, Mondays, Eastern Time Fellow 'Catters and Fielding Listeners, Once again Jeri forces me to do her bidding for her. Being the model citizen that I am and the height of decorum and good taste (not to mention "Good Housekeeping"--so I won't), this is a subject that I would normally never touch. But Jeri brought it up and she seemed so excited and sincere, I can but make the suggestion. Jeri says, "Let's all get naked in front of the computer and listen to Rick's show." What a fine idea Jeri!!! Luckily, I'm going to dinner with friends and will not be able to join you. Plus, as I said, I think the Wesson might screw up my keyboard (again note I did not mention mouse or joystick---decorum,ya' know?). I'll check in later to see how this went. Personally, I have a mental image of this that's stronger than rhino gas. But for me, the real nice part is when Rick checks in, reads this and THEN does his show. I mean, how would YOU be doing, KNOWING there was at least SOME chance that a portion of your audience is naked??? So Jeri, there you go, you nasty girl you!!!! Spaw |

Gives a new meaning to the current Internet phrase: "The computer screen is the most valuable piece of real estate in the world." I am confident that Rick would be shocked. Certainly he wears formal evening clothes for his show, as do all decent broadcasters who have been invited into our homes for a brief period. yours, Peter T. |
26 Jul 99 - 03:04 PM (#99362) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: LEJ Actually, I find this entire thread in shockingly bad taste, as I have a 10 year old daughter who would be traumatized to see me sitting in front of the Compaq naked. Therefore I am moving the entire set-up into the bathroom so that I can have some privacy. |
26 Jul 99 - 03:10 PM (#99363) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Bert I'll translate for you LEJ, For 'traumatized' read 'highly amused'. We need to get Max in on this and he can turn his camera on. |
26 Jul 99 - 03:20 PM (#99369) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Dave Swan Deprativy of this nature is an insult to the sensibilities of decent people. I, for one, will NOT be naked tonight while listening to Mr. Fielding's illuminating discourses on the nature and practice of folk music. I shall wear my normal Monday evening radio listening attire. Fishnet stockings and half a gorilla suit. Formally, Mr. Swan |
26 Jul 99 - 03:36 PM (#99374) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Rick Fielding My guest tonight will be Leigh Kline, who has gone through one of the more interesting folkie transformations that I've heard of. When I last saw him 25 years ago he was a finger-picking J-45 playing, Rev. Gary-influenced guy. I now hear that he's been living in Turkey (that's right - Midnite Express turf) for many years and has become a kind of "pop" icon, by merging his American style with that of various regional Turkish styles. I'm anxious to hear it. I'll be singing a version of the Hiring Fair that I learned many years ago, cause someone (I forgot who) mentioned it in the campfire thread. If it gets any hotter here we just MIGHT get "nekked"! |
26 Jul 99 - 03:41 PM (#99375) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Mike Regenstreif I can assure you this will not shock Rick. His radio experience with nekkidness goes beyond some listeners at home in birthday suits. A couple of years ago, I was in Toronto on a Monday night and was a guest on Rick's show, so I know whereof I speak. The guy whose show follwed Rick's actually did his show, in the CIUT studio, in the nude. Rick told me the guy did his show like that every week. Mike Regenstreif |
26 Jul 99 - 03:48 PM (#99378) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: catspaw49 ...and I AM sorry I'm going to miss it. But here's a little Dylan modification for you Rick, my lad........
Throw your T-shirts out the window Have you gone through the Mudcat Photo Album and got some of those pix in mind Rick? Let's consider a regular listener like, say....uh,...JOE???...Okay, let's not. How about El Swanno with fishnets???? Uh..............Or what about Bert and Max together......geez, this is getting ........uh, BBRRRRRR,....oooooh. Let's think of the girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......I gotta' go grab a shower. Spaw |
26 Jul 99 - 04:04 PM (#99382) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Rick Fielding Mike. That "DJ" you're referring to is of course the legendary "JC", (no, not that one! Jeff Cohen) Jeff's getting a little long in the tooth for climbing all over the equipment and dancing (virtually) naked through his punk rock show. (he's at least 30 now!) But it hardly matters. A few weeks ago someone at the station appointed themselves a "moral conscience" and had Jeff threatened with termination if he didn't put the clothes back on. For Christ's sake, he always wore a bathing suit! Jeff loves his show (he is superb at it) and didn't want to lose it, so now he's fully clothed, and will always be looking behind him and wondering just who it was that couldn't stand his outrageousness. |
26 Jul 99 - 04:15 PM (#99387) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Cap't Bob I guess we can thank the almighty opossum that Rick is not on T.V. and that the T.V. does not work both ways. Otherwise we all would most likely be taken to the Loony Ben in an uncontrollable fit of laughter... hohohoho Cap't Bob |
26 Jul 99 - 04:22 PM (#99388) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Llanfair This conversation reminds me of the story of the two ladies -of-a-certain-age, who were treated to the attentions of a "flasher" one evening. "What was that" says one lady. "I don't know" said the other, "but it needed ironing!" Hwyl, Bron. |
26 Jul 99 - 04:25 PM (#99390) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Cara As I mentioned in the "Campfire" thread, I was deeply frightened by a movie I saw yesterday, and unable to sleep last night. I guess, sitting home tonight, I will be grappling with a different kind of terror...naked Mudcatters everywhere. Frankly, the more I think about it, even looking at my monitor is freaking me out. Thanks a lot guys... |
26 Jul 99 - 04:25 PM (#99391) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Joe Offer I added a link to Catspaw's message at the beginning of this thread. The connection doesn't seem to be working just now. I hope it's OK by showtime. -Joe Offer- |
26 Jul 99 - 04:28 PM (#99392) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: catspaw49 Thanks Joe and...................... ARE YOU NEKKID ????????????????? Spaw |
26 Jul 99 - 04:37 PM (#99395) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Bert CatsPaw,
You've started it now. Soon, I expect to see you hosting 'The alternative Mudcat Album' |
26 Jul 99 - 04:37 PM (#99396) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Joe Offer Catspaw, I'm to old to be gettin' nekkid for the show. And so are the rest of you guys. You're not a pretty sight. -Joe Offer, age 50- |
26 Jul 99 - 04:50 PM (#99400) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Tony Burns YES! YES! YES! I just realized I have been waiting for this moment all my life. 9:00PM EDT I shall be nekkid, listening to Acoustic Workshop and available on IRC. (If'n the good diety be willing and the crick don't rise and my radio don't break and the Mudcat IRC server stays up and ...) Yeeeeeee Ha! Go get'em Fielding! No need to be pretty Joe. JUST DO IT! |
26 Jul 99 - 05:24 PM (#99410) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Joe Offer Tony, if you and I and the rest of 'em get nekkid for the show, Catspaw will, too. The world is not ready for this. -Joe Offer- |
26 Jul 99 - 05:29 PM (#99411) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: catspaw49 True enough Giusseppe........but I'll be out with friends and have to miss it.......this time. Got that mental image going there yet Rick? Spaw |
26 Jul 99 - 05:35 PM (#99416) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Jeri Tony, don't you live close enough to go to the show? Look y'all, I go looking for a job and come back to find this! Sure, blame it all on me. Catspaw, you are soooo easy! By the way, I have two words for you re Wesson oil - Saran Wrap. It's a good thing you were only talking about keyboards. If you put Saran Wrap on your mouse, it will make the ball stick and the darned thing won't work at all. I think it would make a joystick hard to hang on, but I don't have a joystick. |
26 Jul 99 - 05:45 PM (#99421) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: catspaw49 Yeah, I'm sooooo ashamed.... Have you tried this on YOUR mouse? I'm more than game on the joystick. Spaw |
26 Jul 99 - 05:54 PM (#99423) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Fadac Well, I'll be naked under my Rocky Horror Show Outfit! Doing the Time Warp Again! Man I hate the high heals. :o/ No! I have no pics to swap. I showed this outfit to a Compaq once...and it fried the hard drive...never again. -Fadac |
26 Jul 99 - 05:58 PM (#99425) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: catspaw49 Your Hard Drive is fried???..........Tried Viagra? There is a new generic out that's less expensive under the name "Mycoxaphalin." Spaw.......and thank you for the opportunity Fadac, tough to work 'em in sometimes. |
26 Jul 99 - 06:03 PM (#99428) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Joe Offer Hey, this is getting a bit too raunchy for me. If I follow along that direction, I'm gonna end up with a foot stuck in my mouth....or worse... I had a more wholesome image of the show. Rick kind of reminds me of Buffalo Bob. I can see Catspaw making a good Howdy Doody (if he keeps his clothes on). Heather would make a perfect Princess Summerwinterspringandfall, or whatever her name was. Once we find Mister Bluster and Clarabelle (sp?), I guess the rest of us could be the Peanut Gallery. On second thought, maybe it's best if we all sit naked in front of our computers and don't talk about it. -Joe Offer- |
26 Jul 99 - 06:05 PM (#99429) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Jeri I've got one of those little doohickies on top of my mouse that makes the screen move up and down when you roll it back and forth with your finger. You can't move it around when the Saran Wrap's on. (Real life - what the heck are those wheelie thingies called?) |
26 Jul 99 - 06:15 PM (#99433) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Rick Fielding Now hold on a minute. Duckboots' sister Linda, may be listening from Glasgow and I don't think the Scots approve of such foolishness! She thinks Heather is a Salvation Army lass! |
26 Jul 99 - 06:21 PM (#99435) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: katlaughing Haven't you guys ever heard? Don't use Wesson oil, use....Puritan! Rick: sounds like a really good show! And, how about that? Now you will have a virtual nudist colony to talk about! katlaughingatthethoughtofallyounekkid! |
26 Jul 99 - 06:23 PM (#99436) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Dave Swan Kat, You can laugh at the thought of us naked, but have a heart pal, don't point and laugh. D. |
26 Jul 99 - 06:26 PM (#99438) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Joe Offer On second thought, Rick, maybe you'd better not talk about any of this. Will your local listening audience understand? -Joe Offer- |
26 Jul 99 - 06:33 PM (#99442) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: bseed(charleskratz) Rick, if you had been broadcasting out of Berkeley (at least before Pacifica laid seige to KPFA), you and all the rest of the deejays and producers on the station would have been expected to broadcast nude to protest the clear violation of freedom of speech of making your colleague wear clothes; what's more, you'd be doing it live in front of the station, right there on Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard. --seed |
26 Jul 99 - 06:39 PM (#99444) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Jeri Cut to studio. Jeff asks "Why are you staring off into the distance with that smile on your face?" Rick "Well, you see...giggle...no, never mind...cough, giggle, snort." By the way, Catspaw - that was a bad pun. Despite all of my silliness, I do love your show, Rick. As long as I'm home and can get connected, I'll always be there. |
26 Jul 99 - 07:30 PM (#99460) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Rick Fielding Seed, I'm far too young to remember Mario Savio. Jeri, remember Catspaw has a weak heart. |
26 Jul 99 - 08:35 PM (#99475) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: duckboots sister yes I am listening but I thought is was more tartan army. Or am I thinking Nekkid - remember I've seen the boxers rick |
26 Jul 99 - 08:37 PM (#99476) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: duckboots sister Sorry I can't listen having server problems |
26 Jul 99 - 08:48 PM (#99478) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Tony Burns What's all this talk? No clothes? Nude? I thought Catspaw said nekkid. Did I miss something. |
26 Jul 99 - 08:56 PM (#99481) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: katlaughing Tarnation & hellfyre! I keep getting a thing that says there's a problem running script on the page which says listen to CIUT, then when I go to connect, it keeps timing out saying there may be netowrk problems. I REALLY want to HEAR THIS ONE!!!! Hi, Duckboots' sister! Are you in Scotland or visiting in Canada?? Welcome to the Mudcat. We aren't usually this whiney!:-) Now....tell us about those boxer!!**big grin** katlaughing |
26 Jul 99 - 08:56 PM (#99482) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Mike Regenstreif Five minutes to showtime and I can't get RealAudio to connect to CIUT. I've tried several other stations and they all work. Here I am nekkid and I can't listen. Mike Regenstreif |
26 Jul 99 - 09:02 PM (#99484) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Cap't Bob Back to square one.....I didn't get nekkid for nothing....I'm going to head to the shower. Cap't Bob |
26 Jul 99 - 09:24 PM (#99490) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Tony Burns It might be worth dropping a polite message to ciut@campuslife.utoronto.ca to say you want to listen but can't. |
26 Jul 99 - 09:49 PM (#99497) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Joe Offer Think we can get Rick and Heather to post a play-by-play description of the show for us tonight? What with all the preparation we did for it, it's bound to have been quite a show. -Joe Offer- |
26 Jul 99 - 09:52 PM (#99500) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: One who tried to listen If the folks at CIUT can't provide a reliable RealAudio feed, perhaps they need a dressing down. OWTTL |
26 Jul 99 - 10:11 PM (#99508) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: bbc Did that, Tony. Hope it helps. Very disappointing, though it was nice in the chat room w/ kat, Tony, Jeri, Duane, & I. Where are you other guys? bbc (NNIFOC, but TOY) |

26 Jul 99 - 10:54 PM (#99523) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Mike Regenstreif As Rick reported, the powers that be at CIUT cracked down on his colleague JC and now make him do his show fully clothed. Obviously, those same powers have been lurking on the Mudcat, found out about all this potential nekkidness and cut the connection to the RealAudio server. Mike Regenstreif |
26 Jul 99 - 11:23 PM (#99533) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: katlaughing Well, at least the Saturday night shower came a little early for Cap't Bob.***BIG GRIN** Did any of you look in a mirror?? heeheehee |
27 Jul 99 - 12:46 AM (#99566) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Rick Fielding Ok. Enough's enough! All the shows hae been taped. I will send them to Max in the next week and if he's able to work that computer magic, I'll send one down after every monday and hopefully your wonderful loyalty can be rewarded. You'll get the shows a week late (I guess) but it's folk music so that won't matter. For what it's worth I thought tonight's show went very well. Leigh Kline was interesting (he's leonard Cohen's cousin) and we'll have him on again in a few weeks. We also played Stan's Mary Ellen Carter for Harp girl but of course she couldn't hear it. I'm sorry folks. By the way. Stan's widow Ariel joined Paul Mills and I on "Handful of Songs" to close off Tex's memorial. That was a good moment. rick |
27 Jul 99 - 12:51 AM (#99569) Subject: RE: Get Nekkid with Rick---TONIGHT !!!!! From: Duckboots Thanks for trying to get the show tonight. Rick gets terribly frustrated and swears a lot (off-air) when someone like Tony Burns phones in to say that we're not on the "net", but we'll get those tapes off to Max and hope he can help. Thanks Linda, sorry about the foul-up. I know you must have stayed up pretty late. love, Duckboots |
