The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (33)


Another page from the ACME Catalog -


Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with the 1951 Robert McKimson directed Looney Tunes cartoon, Easy Peckins:



This cartoon has sometimes had the scene cut of the fox as Paul Revere, screaming, "Open up! The British are coming!" and George the Rooster (dressed as a Redcoat) shooting him in the face


On September 17, 1997 Fleetwood Mac kicked off their reunion tour promoting their new album The Dance, which celebrates the 20th anniversary of the release of the megahit album, Rumours. The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like to commemorate this anniversary by asking you to join us in watching the clips from the 1997 live MTV concert Fleetwood Mac performed on August 12, 1997 to promote the release of the comeback album The Dance.

If that wasn't enough Fleetwood Mac for you, let's listen, once again the the album being celebrated, Rumours.



Cocaine played such a major role in the production of Rumours that the band seriously considered thanking their drug dealer in the album credits, until gangland violence apparently put a premature end to the idea. Mick Fleetwood famously joked that if he laid all of the cocaine he had ever snorted into a single line, it was stretch for seven miles.
