Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for August 14, 2021

The blue birds of happiness don’t look very happy.

This is what I imagine is happening at 4 am when the birds start up their racket outside my window.

When I was younger, so much younger than today. I liked to find the music, let the stations play. But now I’m older, so much older than before… And good music stations have gone the way of yore.

(I’m feeling down)

Could say that about most radio shows nowadays.

The birds probably don’t enjoy the human “talk format” either.

Looks to me like it is a talk-over format.

Talk shows are the most boring, time wasting TV shows on the planet! BOO HISS

Too much fowl language for me.

Dang. Those tweeters.

Talking Heads should be banned (not the musical group, tho….don’t want no Psycho Killer coming after me).

Squawk radio at its finest.

Are we Sirius here?

House finches… If you feed ’em, you know what I mean.

PBS Donnybrook?

Bluebirds of unhappiness. On a station near you.

Must be in that British zoo. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/parrots-separated-england-zoo-cursing-swearing-at-guests/

Jays always go with the talk format over the music format.
