Coast To Coast AM musings

I have been listening to my favorite radio show, Coast To Coast AM, for the past few nights. It's a myriad of freaks, wierdoes, UFO enthusiasts, conspiracy theorists, and general assorted nuts who call in to a midnight-to-4:00am radio show devoted to mysteries, occult phenomenon, and the like. The hours of the show necessitate an afternoon nap, and essentially split an eight-hour sleep into two installments of four hours, but I have always liked to sleep in shifts, anyway.

Coast To Coast is lots of guilty fun. It's the aural equivalent of cotton candy...pretty much free of substance, but enjoyable. Last night had a guest who managed to speak with authority and seemingly substantial intelligence on the subject of "pet ghosts and animal miracles." Actually, I think this was one of the more "normal" of topics.

Friday night is usually "open line" night, in which the phone lines are opened up and any lunatic with the capacity to press the buttons on the phone is invited to call in. Needless to say, it gets interesting...the usual callers include "Oscar The Demon," "Dr. Morgus, the Whacked-Out Scientist," and "Richard C. Hoagland, the expert on wierd things." I strongly recommend the show to anyone who wants a fun reality break.
