Colingram #3 — Friday, January 24, 2020: Requiem for a Legume and a Legend

This is a Colingram, a brief encounter with the host of The Colin McEnroe Show, recorded on Friday while we all tried to figure out whether our stealth-brand show, Pardon Me (Another Damn Impeachment Show?), would be preempted from its usual Saturday noon time slot. (Connecticut Public Radio will air it at noon on Sunday.)

Colin is distraught over the news that Mr. Peanut, who is even older than Colin, will die on television during the Super Bowl instead of living out his final days in peace at an assisted snacking facility.

This is especially hard for Colin who was the one who found Speedy, the Alka Seltzer kid, in an alley outside a club in Minneapolis. Even today, the words “Plop Plop Fizz Fizz” are painful for him to hear.

The music played here is Ravel’s “Pavane for a Dead Peanut.”
