Uncle Jessie Duke many times down at Hazzard pond fishing would say to me as a young wolf pup, that the field across the road is only greener until you have to mow it. By the same thing,
I decided to rework that in saying , that no matter how sweet and innocent that pussy at the bar or on TV looks, it still is and smells sour. I bring this up from words I had this morning at the daily coffee grind meeting of the Knytes High Council. There seems to be this great thinking that just because we’re moving this to Utah, that I think that the very move is going to open a Pandora's box full of undiscovered treasures. Which I say is poppycock. First I have lived from one end of Utah to the other. I know what’s there, and what ain’t. I understand and know there will be challenges, but considering where the radio werx is in our construction of HazzardAyre and all, and knowing there are 4 available licenses in Tooele as well as up near Randolph, Utah, that we have the best shot of becoming what we have always wanted to be, and then some.
Now if I could get the kind of broadband bandwidth and velocity from Cable-One, here in Twin Falls as I can from Comcast in Utah for a lesser price I’d jump on it faster than Boss Hogg slurping down ice tea. Or if I could get the lady eye candy for our TV and film projects that we can from the what 15 or so agencies in Utah , here in the Tragic Valley , I’d be down with that faster than Enos Straight swallering a glass of cold buttermilk. Fact is we can’t. The time is now, its either jump on this and build our super Hazzard network, or we dump it, lay down and sleep with the porch dogs.
True Utah’s pussy smells too, but at least , Utah took a douche to its pussy and thus not as rotten as the city of Twin Falls.
Okay, was thinking some more. And this truly needs to be said, and I hate to take anything away from the Dukes, but do you realize that over the weekend another TV show that we hold sacred here also had its 29th year birthday? This TV show came in with some serious thunder. The TV show I’m talking about has just if not a slightly larger fan base than the Dukes, and although only watchable through Hulu, still has people working to bringing it back to life. We are talking of course of the TV show Airwolf. Again the machine is the star, and no where else can you see an aircraft originally designed for air freight, and air ambulance, become so dang famous or treasured. The show was originally going to be called Air Shark, thus the paint scheme, but an audio engineer discovered when the turbines we ignited that the Bell 222A sounded like a wolf cry, and thus Airwolf.
It’s been researched and some say a mach speed helicopter is impossible , especially with weapons, and electronics, I say no way. Maybe in the mid 80’s but I think, and still working on the prototype, the Lady could be built. Not only built, but FAA certified and flown. I’ll bet the Lady would give those Homeland Security people the shits, don’t ya’ll think?
Sylvester Levay, just released a great long version of the music, done by synthesizer a method rather innovative and yet taboo at the time. But consider the fan base keeps growing , even though the only outlet to view it is Hulu. Too bad the Dukes ain’t on Hulu. Then us without cable and/or satellite could watch. Speaking of which and I’ll put this in to get you to thinking,
Imagine if Obama , with his barking of economic equality, opened the door on community TV? In that some air space no longer to be used by cell phone company’s and public safety was opened to where a small local broadcaster could put up an analog station to where everybody could watch. Patrick Gotsche over at RFDTV and Rural TV has the right idea. More over the guys out at the river. But what if they had both a digital channel, and mirrored it to a none digital channel, to where we without that unavailable converter could at least watch something good, like the Dukes and or Airwolf? As it is the well to do with money to spend on cable gets to watch good TV even his State of the Union address, while us in a state of flux of transition, holding it together with duct tape, money wise get two maybe channels. Talk about a economic gap.
Could it be fixed? Sure, how? I’ll let you stew on that . See you in the PM.
