Martin Mull really showed his comedy and musical chops when he performed on Soundstage in Chicago in 1975 youtu.be/Mfu-1BLNQXw?...

youtu.beMartin Mull 'Soundstage: 60 Minutes to Kill' (1975)This edition of the 'Soundstage' series produced by WTTW Television in Chicago and networked through PBS featured Martin Mull and his band (sometimes known as His Fabulous Furniture) along with special guests Flo and Eddie originally aired in 1975. Apologies about the sound quality. This is the best I could do with the muffled audio on the video I found. Network TV audio quality was roughly equivalent to AM Radio prior to 1978. Extreme equalization was required to discover even the latent upper midrange frequencies. The high frequencies just aren't present. There was a stereo simulcast available on FM radio stations in some markets, but that was not the source for the audio in this case. 00:00:00 Simulcast introduction 00:00:14 End of the show and '60 Minutes to Kill' introduction 00:02:00 Sweet Steaks commercial 00:02:42 "Licks Off of Records" 00:06:44 Bun 'n Run commercial 00:07:45 Editorial by U.S. Postal Service employees Flo & Eddie 00:08:41 "Do the Dog" 00:14:32 Mailman Jack introduces Flo & Eddie (eventually) 00:15:21 Flo & Eddie "Cheap" 00:18:49 Flo & Eddie "Eleanor" 00:22:04 Flo & Eddie in their living room 00:23:29 "Hors D'Oeurve" 00:25:08 Mulling It Over with Host and Guest Martin Mull 00:26:16 "Noses Run in My Family" 00:28:47 Martin introduces a song by his favorite songwriter 00:30:34 "Normal"/"This Land Ain't Your Land"/"Normal" 00:36:00 "Flexible" 00:39:58 "Just Tonight" 00:44:49 Flo & Eddie "Nikki Hoi" Rock Star medley 00:51:46 "The Nothing" 00:55:35 "Just a Dream" 00:37:04 Martin introduces the term "The Tragically Hip," six years before Michael Nesmith used it in 'Elephant Parts'

Martin Mull was born in Chicago, grew up in Lorain County, but moved to Connecticut when he was 15. Yet he remained his entire life a proud North Coaster, the most prominent one really til Drew Carey came along. Go checkout his standup, which was kind of like "Mitch Hedberg but in a business suit"

I want to believe Lawrence O'Donnell and his downplaying the impact of Biden's terrible debate performance. I'll suspend my disbelief temporarily so I can sleep better tonight.

Watch Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC right now. He made me feel so much better about that debate last night. Only 1/3 of the electing public watched it and trump proved he knew NOTHING about tariffs and how AMERICANS would pay increases NOT CHINA. #MSNBC

If they mandated teaching Velikovsky it would have a stronger historical basis
