Another page from the ACME Catalog -
Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with the 1952 second pairing of the Road Runner/ Wile E. Coyote, directed by Chuck Jones, Beep, Beep:
When this cartoon first aired on Nickelodeon, there is a scene of Wile E. Coyote finds out his parachute is actually a knapsack filled with camping gear. As he falls, a brief sequence was edited to remove him taking out a pack of Acme Aspirin and swallowing them before waving pathetically at the camera and falling to the bottom of the gorge, (don't ask me why, I was there and I don't remember.)
On October 6, 1992, R.E.M. released their eighth studio album, Automatic for the People. The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their multiple platinum album by listening to it with you today.
The album's title comes from the slogan for an Athens-area fast food restaurant. The unusual phrase was the slogan of Weaver D's Delicious Fine Foods, a laid-back Southern cooking establishment in Athens that had long been a favorite of the band. Peter Buck originally wanted to call R.E.M.'s new album Unforgettable, a tongue-in-cheek nod to Natalie Cole's album of duets with her legendary late father Nat King Cole, which had beaten Out of Time for Album of the Year at the Grammys that February.
Demand Euphoria!
