Nostalgia for 1988???

 

--Alex Cohen

1968 was quite a year -- Martin Luther king and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated, Apollo 8 orbited the moon and the Beatles released "Hey, Jude." All year long NPR has been looking back forty years in a series called Echoes of 68.

But for those of us who weren't around or barely remember it... it's been hard not to feel a little left out this year during all these 40th anniversary celebrations.

So today, we've decided to look back 20 years to 1988. I talked to Russell Scott and Patrick Young, creators of the website Retroland. We traveled down memory lane, remembering hits from 1988 like the uber-saccharine song "Don't Worry, be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin and TV shows like "The Wonder Years" and "A Pup Named Scooby Doo."

In 1988, I was 16 years old and just learning how to drive in Los Angeles. As Patrick noted, you spend so much time in the car when you first get behind the wheel, that the songs on the radio from that era often become permanently imprinted on your brain.

I have very distinct memories of driving from my house in the San Fernando Valley to UCLA where I had a summer job. As I drove over the hills in my Nissan Sentra, I would blast songs like "Every Rose has its Thorn" by Poison and "Red Red Wine" by UB40.

What's funny to me is that some songs that I absolutely detested back then, like the Escape Club's "Wild Wild West" and Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give you Up" bring a smile to my face whenever I happen to hear them now... I guess 20 years can make some things sound a lot better.

What are your favorite things from 1988?

A Monument To His Greatness

courtesy Politico.com

 

--Jolie Myers

Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich apparently doesn't care what President-elect Obama, members of the United States Senate and his own state's legislatures think about proper behavior when under investigation for corruption. The Rod does what the Rod wants.

Nothing makes this point better than the fact that he went against all sage advice to name his own pick to Mr. Obama's vacated Senate seat: former Illinois attorney general Roland Burris. Blagojevich praised Burris at a press conference yesterday for his distinguished career and devotion to the great state of Illinois.

Well, Roland Burris also has some things to say about Roland Burris. He's emblazoned his accolades upon a burial tomb in Chicago as he achieves them. I assume he will continue to do so until his death, judging by the sizable swaths of stone left un-engraved.

If this is abnormal behavior, consider me weird. Just last week I sent plans to my crypt architect for my monument to myself. It will include a tribute to my time as a waitress at the Cracker Barrel (employee of the year 2003!) and a moving passage on how my latte making skills saved an ailing Starbucks in Santa Monica.

A Week's Worth of Trash

AP Images

 

--Steve Proffitt

Dave Chameides is worried about waste. So he has been saving all his trash this year. In his basement.

We visited Dave early this year when he began stockpiling his refuse, and again, about half-way through to see how his basement - and his marriage - were doing.

Dave's project was personal - he wanted to learn how he could cut down on stuff that ends up in the landfill, or worse. But it's also public. He's kept a blog of his experiences. It's called 365 Day of Trash.

AP Images

Now that he's nearing the end of his experiment, he's inviting others to try it. Not for a year. Just for a week. All the details are at his blog, and if you try it, comment on your experiences here.

Oh, and Dave has a year's worth of recycling and waste minimization tips, including things you can do with, oh, hair that you trim off your head.

Here's a video of Dave Chameides showing off the handy stuff he keeps in his backpack - all things designed to lower his garbage footprint.

Supertasters

Getty Images

 

--Jolie Myers

I've always hated cilantro. Let's just get that out of the way.

But I take great pride in being an evolved diner -- I open mindedly toss back haggis (sheep guts) and will happily munch on raw octopus tentacles.

So there is shame in despising cilantro, a foundation food of Latin American and Southeast Asian cuisine.

This is why I listened with great enthusiasm to producer Josh Kurz' piece today on "supertasters" -- people whose heightened sense of taste ruins certain foods for them, namely cilantro.

Could my secret loathing of cilantro be a good thing, a sign of my superior taste buds?

The test for supertasters involves chewing on a chemical soaked piece of paper. If it tastes like paper, you're of plebian palate. If it tastes like skunk spray marinated in vomit, you're a supertaster.

One chewed up piece of paper and the lingering taste of road kill confirm that I, Jolie Myers, am a supertaster.

Sweet victory in the war on cilantro? I'm not so sure. I can't help but feel, despite the advanced state of my tongue's relationship with food, that I'm actually missing out on one of the finer things. That cilantro lovers are the ones who win.

Now about my hatred of raw tomatoes...

Old School Farming

Courtesy Green Mountain College

 

--Steve Proffitt

Some students at Green Mountain College in Vermont are getting an unusual driving lesson. They're learning to handle a pair of 1800 pound oxen, pulling a traditional plow.

It's part of Green Mountain's sustainable agriculture project, and it's a lot of fun, too. On Monday's program, we hear from some of them, who say in spite of the fact that the animals are enormous and sport giant horns, they're actually very gentle.

Still, getting two tons of draft animal to bend to your will requires concentration, training and patience. The final exam consists of the students driving the team around the school's farm, turning left and right, and hollering the standard ox-driving commands - Whoa, Haw, and Gee. (You'll have to tune in to find out about that.)

Dr. Ken Mulder, the manager of the farm, notes that this is not an activity for agricultural students - anyone enrolled at the Liberal Arts college can volunteer to work on the farm.

"I think you would be hard pressed to find another liberal arts college at which students are learning how to drive oxen, organically grow thirty different kinds of fruits and vegetables, raise heritage breeds of livestock and poultry, harvest hay without tractors or diesel fuel, manage an off-the-grid greenhouse, butcher sheep, pigs and chickens, build high-tensile fencing, shear sheep, and produce their own honey, apple cider, pickles, eggs and (soon) milk."

And really, at the end of the day, driving a team of oxen is probably easier than parallel parking a hulking SUV.

Madonna (Inn) At Fifty

--Steve Proffitt

Charles Phoenix

 

Steve Proffitt, NPR

On Christmas Eve, 1958, Alex and Phyllis Madonna opened a little motel in San Luis Obispo, California with 12 rooms. Rather than giving the rooms numbers, they gave them names, and decorated them all differently, each one representing a theme. They wanted to create something different. Boy, did they succeed!

In a style that could be described as Swiss Chalet meets Disneyland, the Madonna Inn was an almost instant hit with tourists, who might stop in San Luis Obispo as they traveled down Highway 101 on their way to Los Angeles or San Francisco. Over the years, Alex and Phyllis added to their labor of love. They hired craftsmen from Europe, local stoneworkers, and a staff that was, according to Phyllis Madonna, "our extended family." By the 1960's the Madonna Inn had over 100 rooms, a coffee shop with a copper-covered bar and and an ornate lobby filled with hand-carved wood and statues.

Courtesy Madonna Inn

The Inn attracted celebrities along with regular folk, and the dining room is lined with pictures of the famous and powerful - actors, singers and politicians who visited. Back in the day, Phyllis Madonna would entertain guests by playing the accordion and singing. Now eighty, she says the big instrument is a little too unwieldy and heavy for her to play.

Steve Proffitt, NPR

But she still sings, as she did for us when I visited the Inn with Americana expert Charles Phoenix. Her husband Alex died four years ago. Now, Phyllis has turned over the day to day operations to her children. But you can still find her most days in her booth in the Copper Cafe, chatting with old friends and visitors.

Charles says the handbuilt quality of the Madonna Inn makes it a unique complex that could never be duplicated today. "No one could afford to pay for all this detail today," he says.

Steve Proffitt, NPR

The Inn is known for it's signature hot pink. The dining room is done up in pink. The big sign out by the highway is pink. And the favorite dessert at the Madonna Inn is the pink champagne cake.

But it's really the theme rooms that make the place special. Take a look here to see a full list of the rooms, and pictures of most of them.

Alex Madonna owned a heavy construction company, and because he loved rocks, many of the rooms feature huge boulders. Some are made entirely out of rock. Every room is different. Every one is a flight of fancy and an expression of the love, care and devotion the Madonna's had for their enterprise.

As it turns 50, the Inn is still going strong, with occupancy rates holding steady, even in the face of a recession. There's a new pool and spa up on the hill, but otherwise, the place remains a slice of mid-century America. And it remains a perfect place to get away from it all for a little while, and just enjoy the outrageous magic and imagination of Alex and Phyllis Madonna.

Radio Gift: Dr. Boots

Joel Rose

 

--Steve Proffitt

This season we asked listeners what they wanted to hear for the holidays, and we responded to their requests with a few "radio gifts."

This one goes out to listener Kathleen Tacelosky.

She wrote us this letter:

Elizabeth Crowley, M.D. is a family practice/primary care physician in New Jersey who is intensely dedicated to her craft and her patients. But healthcare has become an industry in our country, and it is out of whack. She was spending an insane amount of time negotiating with the insurance companies trying to get approvals and trying to get paid.

Joel Rose

Instead of letting her frustration get her down, she has come up with a gutsy, creative solution: As of October 1, she dropped all insurance and Medicare and went all cash. She had a meeting with her patients about it. She's lost some patients, of course, and she's gained new ones. She's keeping a blog about it where she shares what led up to this, her fears, her occasional feelings of guilt, what others are saying to her etc.

She's been writing about her experiences on a blog.

Note that her blog name is "bootscrowley." Some of her patients call her Boots because she wears Doc Martins to work. She's unconventional, determined and has a lot of pluck! I think she'll inspire your listeners as she has me and others who know her.

We sent reporter Joel Rose to visit Dr. Boots, and his story is today's radio gift. Happy holidays to all who wrote us, and thanks for letting us give you a little radio.

Planes, Trains and...Well, You Know

-- Jolie Myers

As thousands take to the roads, rails and sky this holiday season, we want to hear about your favorite -- or least favorite -- family road trip.

Find out the hard way that little Billy suffers from epic car sickness?

Been trapped at Chicago O'Hare long enough to sample each fast food joints' finest?

Stuffed into a Greyhound seat next to a recently-released murderer with a penchant for Vienna Sausages and grape Kool-Aid (now I'm getting autobiographical)?

Tell us all about it.

Big Money

 

--Steve Proffitt

You know, it's a lot of money. But really, what is 17 billion? In America, it's 1000 million. Just to confuse things, in Europe a billion often refers to a million millions. Whatever, the number shows up with remarkable frequency in the news. Here's a short sampling:

-- According to a report from Eurostat released this week, the European Union's trade deficit with the rest of the world was 17.1 billion Euros. That's up from 15.3 just last October.

-- CBS News reported last year that in 1983, companies spent $100 million marketing to kids. In 2007, they spent nearly $17 billion.

-- Last year Thompson Corporation paid $17.2 billion to acquire the news wire service, Reuters Group.

-- Microsoft's 2007 version of Excel offers a maximum spreadsheet size of 16,000 columns containing 17 billion cells.

-- Astronomers believe the universe is about 17 billion years old.

-- Last year Princeton University's endowment was estimated to be worth about $17 billion

-- An Egyptian blogger recently estimated the cost of building The Great Pyramid, at today's labor rates: about 17 billion British pounds.

-- The Huffington Post reported this week that Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme may cost the US Treasury $17 billion in lost tax revenue.

-- Assuming a Cadillac budget of $5 million per year, $17 billion would keep Day to Day on the air for more than three millennia, until the year 5409.

Top 5 Holiday Gadget Gifts

--Brian M. Westbrook

Enough with bargain gizmos, how about the gadgets you actually want? We bring you a top-five list that will not only make your friends and family members gadget-happy, they'll look better, feel better and sound better.

Nintendo Wii Fit ($90) -- Perhaps the hottest item under a hundred bucks this year, the Wii Fit with Balance Board is as popular as it is tough to find. Persistence pays off in the form of a fun electronic workout system capable of tracking your fitness progress and comparing your results with others. Jump on the balance board to practice strength training, aerobics, yoga and more. The best part? No need to actually leave the living room!

Flip USB camcorders ($230) -- Flip video cameras revolutionized the video capture world. They made taking, editing, and sharing video clips of family and friends simple. Now the same folks took it to the next level by introducing a high-definition camera: the Flip Mino HD. Capable of 60 minutes of high definition video before downloading, the Flip's a perfect on-the-go high-quality pocket camera.

Nikon D90 Digital SLR ($1150 including lens) -- Digital SLR with live-view and HD video. This is the latest and greatest in the prosumer digital SLR line, those "professional-consumer" cameras with detachable lenses perfect for high-quality family photos. Thanks to the D90's live-action viewfinder, you can watch the action and a high-definition video recording mode. I recommend the 18-200 lens upgrade. It's a versatile lens that travels well.

Sprint LG Lotus Phone ($50) -- It takes quite a bit to stand out in the mobile phone world. Sprint has a cool new phone for the text-savvy with a handy clamshell design. The phone folds flat a fits in your pocket, open to reveal a full keyboard. Now it's not sporting the whiz-bang Smartphone features of an iPhone 3G or even the HTC Touch Diamond, but the LG Lotus -- at around fifty bucks -- is a great upgrade for those still doing the 8, 3-3, 9-9, 8 message shuffle with their old mobiles.

HP Mini 1000 Laptop ($360) -- The latest trend in portable computing is the netbook. With systems weighing just a few pounds or less, and prices under $500 for basic models -- it's no wonder to see why the hand-bag computer is getting lots of attention this holiday season. My favorite, the HP Mini 1000 combines Windows familiarity with an almost-full-size keyboard and a brilliant display. They're cheap and portable, a great on-the-go machine.

Working to Make a School Work

--Shereen Meraji

In South Los Angeles, forty percent of high school students drop out, unless they are lucky enough to go to Verbum Dei. Verbum Dei High School is an all boys, Catholic school in the heart of South Central. The student body is 50 percent Latino and 50 percent African American and all of the students live in South Los Angeles, a region infamous for gang warfare and poverty.

The young men who attend Verbum Dei pay for their education. Each student works one day during the school week to supplement their tuition. School administrators say it gives them the opportunity to experience the world outside of South Central and take more pride in their education. As I reported on the show this morning, the program seems to be working; every single Verbum Dei student graduates and goes on to college.

Click on the video below to see Verbum Dei student Ramon Quevedo take us through his typical work day. And then let us know how you feel about putting kids to work during the school week. Is it a good idea?

For more on this story, and some other interesting stuff about education, and more, visit our friends at KCET's SoCal Connected.

RIP D2D

 

--Steve Proffitt

We got some bad news today.

NPR is canceling our program, along with another program produced here at NPR West, News and Notes.

Here's part of a statement from NPR's acting CEO, Dennis Haarsager:

In late spring, we began to see a decrease in NPR corporate sponsorship, which makes up nearly a third of our operating budget. While we made budget cuts at that time and continued to do so as the economy faltered, all our revenue sources are under pressure. Corporate sponsorship has decreased even more sharply since mid-September. All industries, including the financial, automotive, and media industries, historically our biggest underwriters, are cutting back significantly. Additionally, the philanthropic foundations and major donors who support NPR are cautiously watching the economy and their future giving is uncertain. The manageable $2 million budget deficit we projected in July for Fiscal Year 2009 has now risen to a projected $23 million deficit.

It is clear that this serious financial situation can't be responsibly resolved through short-term or temporary cuts. Rather, we must take measures that provide long-term savings, and that preserve our effectiveness and ability to generate vital income in the years ahead.

Today, we are announcing the cancellation of News & Notes and Day to Day, and significant budget reductions across the organization. These cuts include the elimination of 64 filled and 21 unfilled positions, many of which are associated with the two cancelled programs. Positions have also been eliminated across NPR, including reporting, editorial, and production staffs; station services; digital media; research; communications; and administrative support. Overall, this is a 7% reduction in NPR's current workforce.

It is important for you to understand why we chose to cancel News & Notes and Day to Day, and the implications for programming strategy and commitments. Neither program was attracting sufficient levels of audience or national underwriting necessary to sustain continued production under these tough financial circumstances.

Of course, every day we have been reporting on the downturn in the economy. Now, we can really share that pain.

Our demise will not be immediate. We'll continue producing and broadcasting the program until March 20th. We hope you'll continue to listen, and visit us at Daydreaming.

And a note to Facebook members: A fan has started a group, Save NPR's Day to Day. As of this writing it has more than five hundred members.

Blago: A Study in Character

Observers of Chicago's great theater scene have noted how much Rod Blagojevich sounds like a character in a play by that often imitated Chicago bard David Mamet. I wrote this during lunch hour in Chicago as the news was breaking, because it was too cold to eat outside. And we all remember someone like Rod from our childhood.

-- Nihar Patel

Surrounded by baseball cards, 10-year old Rod Blagojevich is sitting in his parents basement with a girl from the neighborhood, Patricia. He's on the phone.

ROD: I'll tell ya, you're {expletive} crazy if you think I'm gonna trade a '67 Ernie Banks for a bunch of {expletive} from the Big Red Machine. That's not how {expletive} gets done on this block. {expletive}. You tell {neighborhood kid #5} that.

PATRICIA: You {expletive} tell him baby.

ROD: {expletive} him. For nothing? My mom's probably {expletive} listening. You hear me ma? Top of the world!!!

PATRICIA: {expletive} focus. Hi Mrs. Blagojevich, can I stay for dinner?

ROD: Ask me, don't {expletive} ask her. Point is an Ernie Banks is a {expletive} valuable thing, you hear me? You don't just give it away for nothing. I want something big. A Ron Santo and a Ferguson Jenkins.

PATRICIA: What about me Rod? {expletive}.

ROD: I'm getting to you. Patty wants something nice. {expletive} tell him Patty.

PATRICIA: {expletive} Easy Bake Oven. Or {expletive} cash.

ROD: Or I'll just hang on to it. I can parachute me there like my Army men figures. Or take my bike.

PATRICIA: If the Tribune paid their paper boys better, we wouldn't be so {expletive}.

ROD: I'll make a call. Unless they want their {expletive} Sunday editions thrown onto the roofs, they'll play ball.

PATRICIA: Hang up. He should be here any minute.

ROD: Gotta go Johnny boy. That {expletive} Rezko kid wants to do business. I'll see ya in choir tomorrow.

The Many Moods of Rod Blagojevich

--Jacob Conrad

We were reminded again this morning of how every picture tells a story--in fact, a picture can tell more than one story depending on how you crop it.

Consider this wire photo of indicted Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich on his way into work Wednesday morning.

AP Images

 

He's surely following the advice of some crisis counselor--or criminal defense lawyer: Keep To Your Normal Routine. But despite all best efforts on the part of the governor, it just can't help but become the latest in that photographic genre: the-indicted-guy-just-trying-to-get-from-car-to-door. Perhaps it's photographer's long-lens, maybe it's the glance he's throwing: furtive yet resigned.

But look what happens when you crop it the way the Wall Street Journal photo editors did when they ran it on today's front page.

Suddenly it's no longer a picture of a powerful elected official accused of shaking down children's hospitals; instead it's the author photo for a first book of poems, say "Expletive Golden: Poems 1968 to 1973", with jacket blurbs such as "Blagojevich is a talent for whom simple 'appreciation' is not enough. The work demands a deeper investment..."

Or cover art for some acoustic solo effort circa 1972.

Join The Real Economy Project

A month ago, we put out a call for listeners to share their "real economy" stories. Nearly 200 people filled out this survey and told us what their biggest concerns were. We asked people to rate their confidence in their financial situation on a scale of 1-5 with 1 as very confident and 5 as very worried. The average response was right in the middle -- a 3.

Since then, we've had some of these listeners on the air. (You can hear all the interviews here.) Danielle Rodgers of Mahtowa, Minn., one of 14 listeners who said they were a 5, told us that she's not sure how she and her sick husband can keep up with the costs of maintaining a 400-acre farm.

Nathan Bell of Signal Mountain, Tenn., also a 5, shared a song on our show called, "What Did You Do Today?" Having recently lost his job as a manager at AT&T, he said, "It's a slippery fast slope down ... I don't see a realistic end."

A month, a new president-elect and many failed businesses later, we are wondering if you are feeling better or worse about the economy.

If you are yet to share your story, please fill out the questionnaire here and we'll get in touch soon. If you already filled out our survey, please post your comments below and let us know how your response has changed.

Ads in the Classroom?

Can advertisers save American education?

NPR composite photo: Getty Images

 

-- Jolie Myers

High school can be brutal for students. But it's the public school budgets that are taking the real hit.

One teacher is taking matters into his own hands. He couldn't get the cash to cover copying costs, so he started running ads on tests to make up the difference.

Tom Farber, math teacher at Rancho Bernardo High School near San Diego, CA, has gotten mixed reactions to the idea from his community. But we want to know what YOU think. Slippery slope to product placement in the classroom? Or novel way to beat the economic heat?

Sleeveface Update

 

-- Alex Cohen

Last week, we introduced you to Carl Morris, a DJ living in Cardiff Wales, who likes to spend his time Sleevefacing. For those of you who missed the interview, the sleeve in sleevefacing refers to an album sleeve or cover. Years ago, Morris held a Paul McCartney album up to his face and a friend took a picture. They found the picture funny - and thus a trend was born.

Carl and his buddy John Rostron have taken countless Sleeveface pictures - they've even put out a book featuring some of their favorite shots.

We here at NPR West were so inspired, we took some of our own Sleeveface pics and we asked our listeners to give it a try.

Check out what John Tynan sent us! I especially like the one with the accordion!

And listener Cristen Carey sent us her sleeveface efforts.

Cristen Carey

We hope this inspires you to get creative with your album collection. So get out your old LP covers, and your new-fangled digital camera, and email us a few shots.

We Can't Give You Anything But...Radio, Baby

Library of Congress

 

--Steve Proffitt

We love our listeners. And this year when we talked about what we could do to show our appreciation during the holidays, we came up with one idea: Give them radio.

Library of Congress

 

Library of Congress

It's the only thing we've plenty of, baby.

So, here's where you come in. Send us a radio wish. It might be a story about something going on in your community. It might be an interesting person you think we should interview. Or it might be something in the news that you think hasn't been covered, or covered in the right way.

We'll pick our favorites and try to put them on the air.

So, think about what you'd like, and let us know. You can leave your idea in a comment below. Or, if you'd prefer a little privacy, just send it in an email to us.

Get your ideas in soon, so we can start giving you some...radio.

Playing With Sleeveface

Sam Proud

 

British DJ Carl Morris has taken the face of hundreds of legendary singers and musicians. It's part of his latest obsession, sleevefacing. On his blog Sleeveface, he defines the new trend as "one or more persons obscuring or augmenting any part of their body or bodies with record sleeve(s) causing an illusion." On the show this morning, Alex Cohen talks to him about the phenomenon and his book, Sleeveface: Be The Vinyl.

Here at NPR-West, some of us decided to get into the sleeveface spirit. We asked employees to bring in their old album covers and try "being the vinyl." You can see the results in the gallery below. Think you can do better? Send us your sleeveface creations at what@npr.org and we'll include the best ones in our gallery.
