The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (174)

Thank you for joining us today.

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Bugs Bunny Merrie Melodies cartoon, the 1950 Bunker Hill Bunny (featuring Yosemite Sam,) directed by Friz Freleng. (I'm a little confused if we've already seen this title already or not.)



Please note: in the past, the sequence involving Sam digging underground to ambush Bugs' fortress, only to end up in a dynamite shack that blows up when he lights a match to see, has been edited out in the past.


Before the start of our feature presentation ACME Eagle Hand Soap would like bring you some straight talk about social distancing.



Remember - take a tip from the late Karen Carpenter, no one wants to be close to you during this pandemic.


We hope you are doing well with your self quarantines - the programming department of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour have been vigorously scrubbing themselves with ACME Eagle Hand Soap - If your eagle's hands are dirty, we'll wash them clean! and sanitizing themselves for your protection. We are also engaged in social distancing - we are communicating with each other via message sticks and Silk and Wax (don't ask).

We've were sitting around, observing the correct social distancing spacing, and we realized that we haven't actually listened to some music together recently. Today is the anniversary of the release of the 1969 Who rock classic, Tommy. A surprising fact we learned while researching for tonight's show - The album got The Who out of a financial mess. After a legal battle with their manager, Shel Talmy, and some bad business deals in England, they were facing bankruptcy if it didn't sell.

So why not sit back and relax (some 'em if you got 'em,) and get a snack (perhaps, a pint and some crisps,) and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in listening to this superb album, Tommy -



In the run-up to the creation of the album Tommy, Pete Townshend would talk about the notion of a rock opera to anyone who would listen. That included Rolling Stone magazine founder Jann Wenner, who spoke with the guitarist at length in the summer of 1968 about the Who’s next project. "The package I hope is going to be called Deaf, Dumb and Blind Boy, he said. "It's a story about a kid that's born deaf, dumb and blind and what happens to him throughout his life. The deaf, dumb and blind boy is played by the Who, the musical entity...But what it's really all about is the fact that because the boy is 'D, D & B,' he's seeing things basically as vibrations which we translate as music. That's really what we want to do: create this feeling that when you listen to the music you can actually become aware of the boy, and aware of what he is all about, because we are creating him as we play."


Your friends at ACME want to remind you:

If you listen closely -  by using ACME Eagle Hand Soap, you can actually hear the death screams of germs and bacteria while washing!
