Good Morning geniuses, philosopher kings and queens, working class heroes, progressive utopians with no sense of humor, lurking conservatives….<\/p>\n
So, it\u2019s finally here \u2013 the day we\u2019ve all been waiting for since, well, I guess since December 16, 2005 (has it only been 10 weeks or so – it feels like forever). Tonight (or tomorrow, depending on what part of the world you\u2019re in) is the beginning of the new Maron Era. In honor of this occasion, I\u2019d like offer my recipe for Marinara sauce. Unfortunately, I don\u2019t have one (maybe Gypsy can help us out), so instead, I\u2019ll offer what I do<\/em><\/strong> have, and that\u2019s my private, bootleg recording of the last live Morning Sedition from O\u2019Neal\u2019s on Thursday, November 3rd, 2005<\/a>. Hopefully, it\u2019ll help you pass the next 20 or so hours until Marc hits the airwaves once again.<\/p>\n Yes, listen to the clatter of the crowd, the clack of the coffee cups, and the congested coughs of the couples with colds. Listen to Brendan \u201cPW\u201d McDonald incite us to raucous applause after every commercial break. Hear Marc and Mark banter between segments, even if you can\u2019t always understand what the hell they\u2019re saying. Hear my wife say, \u201cDidn\u2019t you get me one?\u201d Hear me say, \u201cSorry.\u201d Hear her say something I couldn\u2019t understand. Hear me say, \u201cYeah\u201d (this’ll give you a pretty good idea of how things sound here at home most of the time). Anyhow, this isn\u2019t a professional recording by any means, and there\u2019s lots of noise. As it says in my Woodstock Album liner notes (now there’s a thing of the past), think of this \u201cas being like the cracks in fine leather.\u201d <\/p>\n Now, I don\u2019t know what’ll happen to Morning Seditionists from here on out. Many people have e-mailed me privately to ask, so let me just say that this place will be around for as long as anybody wants to come here and hang out. I hope y\u2019all keep coming, because, frankly, I\u2019d really miss it. It\u2019s been fun to be a part of this little family, with its moms and dads, crazy uncles, and goofy kid brothers (hah, you can all figure out who you<\/em><\/strong> are), not to mention you lurkers from around the world who stop by every day. <\/p>\n So, if you want to keep on coming back, cool; we\u2019ll be here. And if everybody migrates over to whatever AAR gets going (last I looked, it wasn\u2019t actually working yet, but maybe they have it together by now), and this place fades away in the coming months, I\u2019m really glad that this was at least a bridge to help us get from Morning Sedition to wherever Marc, Jim, and the gang are taking us next. It\u2019s been fun.<\/p>\n Hey, is somebody choppin\u2019 onions? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Good Morning geniuses, philosopher kings and queens, working class heroes, progressive utopians with no sense of humor, lurking conservatives….
