This Weekend, it's the Lunar Mosen Explosion, and I really Need your Help. #MosenOnAir
This week, I’m doing the Mosen Explosion with a difference. You know there’s very little else I’d rather do in the whole wide world than enjoy our weekly Sunday catch-up. But one of the very few things I would rather do, is watch the last ever performance of Monty Python live as it happens. And quite unexpectedly, I’ve just found out that I’m going to do that. I’m very excited, but I still want to explode with you as usual. Who said we can’t have our cake and eat it too, eh? Who said that I ask you! Certainly not me.
So this week, the show will be pre-recorded, with plenty of the usual fresh and exciting features. We’ve still got the wacky news, all four bananas will be putting in an appearance, we’ll have an incredibly bouncy Bonnie Bulletin, plus we’ll look back on this day in history.
And it’s the history bit where you can really help, and make the show interesting. This Sunday, 20 July, won’t only go down in history as the last time Monty Python ever performed together. It’s also 45 years ago that humans walked on the moon for the first time. It’s still spine-tingling, awe-inspiring stuff to me. We’ll be playing some documentary audio to celebrate the occasion. Additionally, since I was just a few months old when it happened, and even cuter than I am now, I have no personal memories to contribute. If you were around then, I’d love to get yours. Drop me an email, and tell me what you remember about that magical time. Did you feel like you were watching something that would change the world irrevocably? What are your most vivid memories of the period.
Also, if you have any songs about man walking on the moon, or indeed any songs at all about the moon, get those requests in now I say, as I’ll be recording the show on Saturday evening US time.
It’ll be a really fun one, and even though I won’t be there live, listeners will be able to keep themselves in touch by using the #MosenOnAir Twitter hashtag.
So I look forward to your requests and memories right away, and to your company at the usual time, 2 PM Eastern, 7 PM UK on Sunday. It's all right here on the incredibly unearthly The Bell, at http://the-bell.net
