The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (18)


Another page from the ACME Catalog -



Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with the 1956 Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote Looney Tunes cartoon, Gee Whiz-z-z:



The scene with the canvas of a broken bridge reverses the series' usual gag - this time, the Road Runner cannot "jump into the painting", but Wile E. Coyote can.


Today on the ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour, we are listening to a live recording of the beginning of the Exile On Main Street tour by the Rolling Stones on June 3rd 1972 in Vancouver, British Columbia, at the Pacific Coliseum. This was the first Rolling Stones show in North America since the infamous Altamont concert in December of 1969.



As the tour progressed, Mick Jagger was apparently introduced to the drink, the Tequila Sunrise. In his 2010 autobiography, Life, Keith Richards said the 1972 road show was known as “the cocaine and Tequila Sunrise tour.



Demand Euphoria!

(I wouldn't hold it against you if you sort out your local PBS station and watched the BBC Sgt Pepper Special on tonight.)
