Wednesday Wadio: Don Lennon’s Last Comic Standing.

PITF favorite Don Lennon released his latest album, Radical, recently and I just got it in the mail a few days ago. Good stuff. While nothing from the new release is online, I did find a video for a tune from his last album on the almighty YouTube.

On the surface, the song is about John Ritter – and that strange feeling you get when a celebrity dies very unexpectedly and you hunker down for an afternoon of highlight clips on E! Maybe that’s just me. Do you also eat three Klondike bars, cry and then burn yourself with a curling iron while chanting “No Anna Nicole, no Anna Nicole“? Nevertheless, any song that mentions Fonzie and Carrot Top in the same verse is A-OK with me.
