The Geoff Young Interview Recently Bill Fitzhugh sat down with famous magazine publisher and stand up commedian, Geoff Young for an in-depth interview. GY: I heard that Fitzhugh's All Hand Mixed Vinyl is perfect for sealing cracks in fiberglass boats. Is that true? BF: No. But if you have a boat, you should get an XM Satellite Radio for it. GY: Can I get Fitzhugh's All Hand Mixed Vinyl at my local Home Depot? BF: No. And you can’t get XM Satellite Radio there either as far as I know. GY: Does Fitzhugh's All Hand Mixed Vinyl come in a convenient tube and a large tub size? BF: No. And we're not sure why. GY: Exactly what is Fitzhugh's All Hand Mixed Vinyl? BF: Fitzhugh's All Hand Mixed Vinyl is a sophisticated blend of songs, mostly from the years 1964 to around 1977. Not sold in caulking tubes, Fitzhugh's All Hand Mixed Vinyl is capable of withstanding extreme temperatures. Easy application and clean up. Fire resistant. Excellent longevity. GY: Why 1964 to 1977? BF: Why not? GY: I asked first. BF: The answer to that is in my book, "Radio Activity." I thought you told me you had read it. GY: I did, and an excellent book it is. But for those who haven’t read it, perhaps you could explain. BF: They should just read the book. GY: C'mon, work with me. BF: Okay, in "Radio Activity" my hero, Rick Shannon, gets to program a classic rock radio station. He decides to reinvent the format. He and the other jocks at this station work out a set of rules that help determine what music they will play. First they have to decide what years constitute the 'classic rock' era. After much debate, they settle on 1964 (the Beatles first appearance on Sullivan) to 1977 (when The Band’s Last Waltz came out and when disco, punk, and consultants changed the way rock radio sounded). GY: When is Fitzhugh's All Hand Mixed Vinyl on? BF: Tuesday mornings at 10 EST, 9 central, 8 mountain, 7 pacific with a repeat on Saturday nights, 10:30 EST, 9:30 central, 8:30 mountain, 7:30 pacific. GY: Is it true that they named the two XM satellites? BF: Yes and you’ve got to love the fact that the names are "Rock" and "Roll." GY: So from the sounds of it, Fitzhugh’s Hand Mixed Vinyl is perfect for patching and filling the gaping holes in classic rock left by corporate controlled terrestrial radio stations. BF: Actually, you’ve just described the Deep Tracks channel on XM. Along with Tom Petty’s Buried Treasures, Earle Bailey’s HeadTrips, the BBC Concert Series, The Grateful Dead Hour, Deep Tracks Under Cover, and all the other brilliant programming that George Taylor Morris has put together, Fitzhugh’s All Hand Mixed Vinyl is a quirky and entertaining musical element that makes the whole greater than the sum of its parts. GY: Rock on, brother. Back ©2005, Reduviidae, Inc. - All rights reserved
