Case Against April
By Adrian Blevins
For a long time I was absolutely idiotic,
by which I mean I lashed and pulsed
like the cosmos of tissue at present on fire
inside the bodies of my students—
it being springtime, it being the season
of being naked under the cherry trees.
I'm not saying dig a hole and fall in it;
I'm not saying buy a cabin and a nanny goat
and walk around re-naming the forget-me-nots
after the lovers who said they'd slay you
and, well, did—for who ever heard
of a plant named Greg? Nevertheless,
sex is laughable; it's ultimately ridiculous;
it's what God invented since he couldn't have
Comedy Central. And still the young people
who aren't pushing their tongues
against the tongues of others
are weeping like babies
being prodded with thermometers
for the lack of good tongues
to lean their own tongues against.
I hear them complaining

Chris Dunford, who will retire this year as president of Davis-based Freedom from Hunger, is a return guest on the current edition of “Davisville” on KDRT 95.7 FM.

Dunford last appeared on the program in early 2010. This time he draws a few lessons from his long career, updates news from Haiti and other topics from last year, and discusses whether he thinks the world is better, the same, or worse than it was when he started at the international charity nearly 30 years ago.

“Davisville,” hosted by Bill Buchanan, is recorded at Davis Media Access. The program airs at 5:30 p.m. on Mondays, 4:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, and 10:30 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. on Wednesdays. You can also find it at http://www.kdrt.org/node/4642.

Hey There K-Dirt Listeners...

This mortal world has lost a helluva man today, but at the same time there is a new angel out there looking after all of us. Now, he may not look like your typical angel...but believe me, his spirit touched many.

In this edition of the Dinner Bell Roundup we went off the tracks and pulled a bunch of tunes off of the shelf of life and just let 'em roll.

"Has anybody here, seen my old friend George? Can you tell me where he's gone? Thought I saw him walking up over the hill... with Abraham, Martin & John."

Keep your dial tuned to K-Dirt this week...we've got a few more special moments to share with you about George Moore.

George Moore, friend and mentor to so many of us here at KDRT/Davis Media Access, passed away this morning. We send our heartfelt condolences to his wife Diane, his children and his extended family. Our community here is sad and rocked by thinking about a KDRT without George. I could tell you about George, who played show tunes, or jazz, or segments of historical Jewish radio. Or George, who helmed the KDRT Steering Committee and served on the Davis Media Access board of directors for several years. George, who opened his home for countless meetings, plodded through a rewrite of the DMA Bylaws with me, who helped me navigate ADA compliance for our new ramp at this building, who wrote policy, raised money, and vetted programming proposals. He did all of this, for years on end. He was a tireless advocate for KDRT, a fierce fighter when the chips were down, and a fun companion when it was time to celebrate.

Hi there … and welcome to Mountain Mama’s Earth Music … and today for George http://kdrt.org/station/archives/123 1) He Was A Friend of Mine, John Oates 2:43 2) Kind and Generous, Natalie Merchant 4:06 3) You Got Gold, John Prine 4:38 George Moore, our friend and fellow radio programmer (he despised the term DJ, felt we were so much more than that) died on Wednesday, Jan 19, and it's like someone took the air out of the studio. 4) Bang The Drum Slowly, Emmylou Harris 4:51 5) Timshel, Mumford & Sons 2:53 What an amazing guy ... honest, cynical, with a million dollar voice, I can picture him, headphones on, face up to the mic, mr. smooth clicking his tongue and smacking his lips getting ready to blow us all away with his knowledge of the music 6) Lucky So and So, Louis Armstrong 3:07 7) A Sunday Kind of Love, Etta James 3:19
