Thanks again for all the love.

Well, Sheeple-

1-877-520-1150 should work tonight. This is our first and last remote. It might not be a smooth as we'd like. We'll give it a try.

This is it. This is really the end for me at Air America Radio it seems. What a prolonged and painful journey this has been. The great thing about the entire smear of time that has been the last couple of years is that I had such an amazing bunch of listeners and amazing staffs on both shows. I also seemed to have learned to do radio a bit along the way. I do want to thank all of you who are reading this as well as Jim Earl, Bill Kollar, Brendan McDonald, all the amazing perfromers that have appeared on the show and all the guests. I'll try to keep you informed as to what is happening. I guess until I get a new site up you can find me on myspace. AND, in all honesty, I want to thank Air America Radio for giving me the oppurtunity to speak out and entertain without ever getting involved in content or telling me what to say.

Yup, this is the last few-

Tonight I will tell you all what is going on. Thanks for all the support and curiousity. You folks have been essential in stifling a complete meltdown of the show--there's still 3 more. We can only hope.

Blogsters-

Happy Birthday, Jim Earl! 47. Wahooo!

The weekend was pretty trippy. The reunion was actually kind of interesting and fun. Not a lot of people showed but there were enough there to get some closure around some outstanding resentments and curiousity. In other words, a couple of the jocks got huge and bald. Felt good. The woman, all and all, faired much better than the men and some of them looked better now than they did in high school. I won the most interesting career award. I'll put in on my shelf next to my Emmy, wait, I don't have an Emmy.

On the Air America front, the ball in in their court.

Weekend Thread

Marc Maron — Sat, 08 Jul 2006 10:16:46 -0400

Seditionists, Maronistas and Particles-

Have a good weekend. Again, not trying to be cagey about anything just waiting for closure. I will keep you informed. I'm off to New Mexico. You can suggest stuff for next week but our resources are limited. Like, if there are bits we haven't done since the beginning of TMMS, there's probably a reason. We'll do all we can.

Love,

Marc

Friends-

These are the last days. Have a great weekend. I'm not being cagey about what is going on with me and Air America, I just really don't know at this point AND I'm a little tired of this position. Next week will be filled with comedy and great guests, a celebration of the demise of a show that didn't get a fair shake.

Here's the show for tonight:
Doug Benson, needs your help to stay on Last Comic Standing
Tim Grieve, The War Room on Salon.com

Hey, Future Radio Programmers of America Club-

Thanks for all the support and speculation. All will become manifest in time. We’ll try to have a great last seven. Hopefully we won’t get pulled before then—we shouldn’t—I’m just a worrying kind of person.

Ken Lay is dead. He got off easy.

Hope you had a nice long weekend. I didn’t. Festering over big decisions and the future. The Marc Maron Show will be coming to a close a week from Friday, 7/14. Not my choice. We were just getting a groove going here. They have made another offer. There are still discussions to have and after I have them I will let you know where it stands and what it was all about.

Love you all. Sorry about all this.

Here's your show:
Joey Keithley, lead singer, DOA, author, I, Shithead: A Life in Punk, on still being a punk, Canadian and speaking out

Okay, Day, let's do this-

It's 8:30 and I'm watching my screener of The Road to Guantanamo. It’s a bit heavy for breakfast. I’ll be talking to one of the directors of the film this afternoon. I wonder if the SCOTUS decision today against Bush and the Neo Con Death Cult that they overstepped their authority in ordering military war crimes trials for Guantanamo Bay detainees will have any bearing on the situation there. I gotta watch this. I’ll talk to you later.

Here’s how we do it today:
Hard and Phirm, to do the funny and some music
Jack Boulware, on adventures in Boulwareland
Mat Whitecross, co-director, Road to Guantanamo
John Landis, Director, on his new DVD and his new Cinesphere project for Universal Orlando

Hey, Folks-

What to you do when you are so sad you cant live with yourself because your heart is a calloused knot of emptiness from pimping out your soul for the big payoff at the cost of your conscience and your self hate runs so deep that it cripples your Johnson.

Welcome home, Rush.

Heres your show:

Marc Maron — Fri, 23 Jun 2006 12:24:48 -0400

The full assault is on, friends-

All this talk about "cut and run", the vote in the Senate yesterday, bogus WMDs, mixed messages around troop levels, a big bust of aspiring Al Qaida's in MIAMI, thanks, Jeb, bro, pictures of the Sears Tower on the AOL home page. They're coming at this from all angles trying to confound, confuse and frighten the nation into thinking that this war is justified. Ah, campaign time. The Lead story everywhere should have been that a state of emergency was delcared in Iraq and two more U.S. Soldiers were killed because they were stuck in the middle of something the shouldn't be and that is all the Dems should be talking about.

Greetings from Los Angeles--where the helicopters circled my neighborhood on and off all night. I don’t think it was me they wanted but maybe they wanted to screw up my sleep patterns, yeah, they’re working me that way. Breaking me down slowly. See where I’m going. It’s because I’ve had my head in the swirling, reality diminishing tale of what “really” happened on 911 and I will be honest, I don’t know. It’s all very compelling. It’s possible that is was executed by a group of evil deceptive forces representing intelligence, finance, military and government. Sadly or soberly, I think it’s also possible that it happened because of an attack by 4 hijacked planes which some of those forces allowed to happen. One of our guests today has answers.
