The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (188)

Thank you for joining us today.

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Bugs Bunny Looney Tunes cartoon (featuring Yosemite Sam), the 1952 14 Carrot Rabbit, directed by Friz Freleng.



The assay clerk ("Pierre") is modeled after director Friz Freleng.


Before the start of our feature presentation, ACME Eagle Hand Soap would like to hear the opinions of a member of the older generation -



Hopefully Mr. Black has been put on some medication to help lower his blood pressure.


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 discreet movements of expensive handbags and gaudy brooches.

September 12, 1975 -
Wish You Were Here is the ninth studio album released by Pink Floyd, on this date. It is a moving tribute the their former bandmate Syd Barrett, who left the band several years earlier due to deteriorating mental health. Strange to believe, the album initially received mixed reviews; many critics found it not up-to-par with the band's previous release, Dark Side of the Moon. Today the album is generally agreed upon as one of the greatest albums ever released, having sold more than 15 million albums to date. But why not sit back and relax (find the most comfortable seat) get a snack (smoke 'em if you got 'em,) and a beer or two and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in listening to Wish You Were Here -



The title track was a rare case of the Pink Floyd primary songwriters Roger Waters and David Gilmour mutually collaborating on a song - they rarely wrote together. Gilmour had the opening riff written and was playing it in the studio at a fast pace when Roger Waters heard it and asked him to play it slower. The song built from there, with the pair writing the music for the chorus and verses together, and Waters adding the lyrics.



In 2012, director John Edginton released a documentary named Pink Floyd: The Story of Wish You Were Here, featuring all four members of the band as well as other people who were involved in creating this masterpiece.
