TRANSCRIPT:

...

Vin: Do you envision an impeachment?

Randi: Yes, absolutely...for war crimes. Not for sex, although he's F'ed the world...so he's had sex, plenty of sex.

Vin: Here, listen to this...

Betty Dylan: oh, say can you....(national anthem)

Vin: No, that's the wrong track...let me get the right track.

Randi: Who is that singing that national anthem?

Vin: uhhh, this group from Nashville called Betty Dylan. Betty Dylan.

Randi: oh, I don't know 'em.

Vin: listen to this...

(Abdicate The Throne intro plays)

Vin: This is the theme song for the impeachment.

Randi: You like the country then..?

Betty Dylan song:
No need for retaliation
the dead punish the dead
no need for consecrations
life is not the end...

Randi: You have the same taste in music as (unintelligable)

Vin: Really

Randi: Yep. Do you ever listen to Dead Kennedys or ??? I can't believe it, you like this sort of spoken word, radical, political...

Vin: It passed me by somehow.

Randi: That's shocking to me because this is that same genre of...

Vin: wait, here we go...

Betty Dylan song:
(chorus)...Abdicate the Throne... Abdicate the Throne...
Abdicate the Throne... Abdicate, Abdicate the Throne...

Vin: Abdicate the Throne

Randi: Oh, he's not gonna abdicate, we're gonna impeach his ass.

Betty Dylan song:
He serves, this villain, the people
call him president now
appointing justice, he thinks he's divine
the blues will let him down
Abdicate the throne... Abdicate the Throne...
Abdicate the Throne... Abdicate, Abdicate the Throne...

If you can't share it with the people
then it's taboo to me
if it's about privilege and monopoly
I can't accept is as necessity
Abdicate the throne... Abdicate the Throne...
Abdicate the Throne... Abdicate, Abdicate the Throne...

Randi: Who is this?

Vin: Betty Dylan

Randi: Betty Dylan

Vin: Yeah. Originally from New Jersey...they're down in Nashville now.

Randi: There's so much music going on out there and it just does not get played. And, you know, it's funny, 'cuz they're all saying this.

Vin: uh huhm. It's gets played on, you know, stations like this but not a lot. And, uh, it's not really out there in the mass media.

Randi: Yeah.

Vin: You know, the big corporate radio stations aren't playing this stuff.

Randi: Well that will change, though, that will change because those big corporate radio stations have a lot of business in front of congress that they don't want to start. But as soon as they have to apologize to the people for going along with this heinous plan, they will also sweat. The innovation will come from the innovators and no other place. It's not going to come from the corporations. People are going to keep writing this music and they're going to keep pushing and pushing to get...just like I did, just like everybody has to and then they'll finally push through their own...and this music will be the next...you'll see...this is going to be the next music that people hear. The boy bands and the Britney's and the pop culture. It's all going to get deadly serious when the President is being impeached for war crimes. When the President's being impeached for oral sex, it's funny!

Vin: Yeah.

Randi: It's pathetic that they would do something like that with their power, the Republicans, but it's funny, there's so much hu(mor)...it's so bizarre. But war crimes...?

Vin: War crimes...?

Randi: I mean, come on, that's not funny anymore.

Vin: That's different.

Randi: That's a big thing.

Vin: Randi Rhodes.

Randi: Vin Scelsa.

Vin: Talk show host at Air America, National personality.

Randi: Disc jockey

Vin: A woman who...

Randi: I won't rest until I'm a national treasure.

Vin: Alright...national treasure! (laughter)

Randi: No no,

Vin: She's a national treasure, she is...

Randi: Oh, God.

Vin: She's a woman on the radio every day speaking the truth, speaking it with a sense of humor as well. I rely on you every day to get me through!

Randi: Oh, it's so great to know you're listening..

Vin: to get me through!

Randi: Well, you know, you deserve it. If that's true for you, you deserve it because you got me through a very difficult childhood, very difficult, loud and very, you know, rough house and you know, not much money and, you know, they were basically good people but they were at each other's throats and it's difficult when you're little and I tell you, if it wasn't for you, and NEW and before that even PLJ, I don't know what would have happened.

Vin: isn't that good..and you're not alone in that...radio did that for a lot of people.

Randi: Yeah, but you were my DJ and so, this is amazing.

Vin: This is WFUV, New York, I'm Vin Scelsa, this is "Idiot's Delight". Randy Rhodes has been so kind to share a couple of hours with us here tonight and now we're going to send her out on her way into the Bronx with much thanks. I wish you a very happy Christmas.

Randi: You, too, hon. ...
