STAN FREBERG HERE...Say Goodbye To August
Stan Freberg here. Say "goodbye" to August. My birthday was in August; the 7th, as a matter of fact. Yeah, I'm a Leo; but I'm afraid a few other things also happened in August. After this. [:60 SPOT BREAK]
Shakespeare wrote, "Beware the Ides of March," but he should've said "August." For example, which of the following downers happened in August: A:The Communists' attempted takeover of President Gorbachev; B:The bombing of Hiroshima; C:The death of Princess Diana; D:Iraq's invasion of Kuwait; E:All of the above. That's right - it's "E: All of the above."
And how about that historic week starting with President Clinton giving a live TV confession, regards the Monica matter, and ending with his ordering up Cruise missles against terrorists? That was in August - that supposedly humdrum, slow news month. Oh, yeah?
Next August, maybe I'll be doing these commentaries from deep underground inside the Carlsbad Caverns!
