Jesus fucking christ.

I never lived anywhere that had a public access channel. For us, this kind of fascinated crazy-watching was limited to more “mainstream” 1am programming, like Art Bell, Jim Bakker, and GLOW.

I remember being in a hotel room in North Carolina years ago watching public access television when a public service announcement came on. It states, “This is a public service announcement reminding you to eat cum.” I still haven’t (knowingly) eaten any cum, but I certainly haven’t forgotten that I should.

One of my favorite articles here. Glad Loveless had a better time than was originally guessed.

Also, totally seems like a guy my dad would have worked with. He worked at UPS for 40 years, mostly driving a tractor trailer. He had some…interesting acquaintances. (Dad’s still alive, just retired.)

My old boss was a regular on the Mohave county public access, hosting cooking shows and the occasional Christmas parade. The other PA regs would hang out at the deli I worked at. Even at the most professional PA personalities often may as well be drunk for how stilted and uncomfortable they are on camera.

Getting an update that this man was, in fact, a beloved local weirdo and happily married and just in love with music is the best news i could have gotten. The worlds better for this art.
