Program: Blues in the Night with Jamie Dell'Apa

Twit er Talk

Trissel, trassel, trussel, trome...  How does a microphone act as a magic wand that converts a human into a twit.  Happens to me every Saturday night but you would think professional politicians would have a Hogwarts-style defense.  A twit force field.  Maybe a Tamil-twit inoculation.    

Tonight's sound bites are primarily weird sound bites from politicians. Every quote presented out of context (because nobody speaks between post-war R&B songs looted from my neighbors after Katrina).  Politicians who meant to inspire but just sound wacky.  Definitely radio for the post-Culture Vulture music crowd.
