I caught it towards the end of its glory but have exhausted the archives at this point. The things I miss are a subject wrung out in an hour, the randomness of the topics on all kinds of things I never thought about, the variety of guests. I guess maybe that's not possible right now but I sure do miss it. Recently relistened to the Chaconne episode, which prompted a fascination with the piece and a desire to play it someday.

What about the election? What about AIG? Devoted ROS podcast subscribers eagerly want to know what is Chris Lydon going to do this Fall. Why is the “Warming Up” section empty?

The disintegration of the follow-up threads to the hiatus makes one wonder if Emerson was the right focus - as opposed to current happenings, or a project such as distilling themes from the show's shows. My analysis is that Lydon, as an "ecstatic," is, in some ways, tied to a passed era - what has force these days is methodical analysis (arguably, as B. Russell would have said, due to "chemical imperialism").

Darth Vader: “I am your father, Luke.”

Luke: “Well. . .I guess it’s not THAT bad, is it?”

Umberto Eco: “But I am your adopted father.”

Luke: “NoooOOOOoooooooo!”

(The Battle Hymn of the Republic begins to play) “Onward! Forever onward! Word by word! Independent clause by independent clause! We shall conquer! We will attack each page with purpose, and measure our progress by the chapters which litter the streets. (Are your eyes tearing up yet, Allison? Feeling patriotic? :) ) And at the end, we shall stand together and dare the man they call Eco to write another! And which time, our comrade, <b>Alexandre Enkerli</b> will turn and say, “Actually, Mr. Eco has written many books. Here, I have a few I’ve already read. They’re mostly in French, though.” That’s when Allison gives him the most evil stare, while I begin my days as an alcoholic, and walk the streets mumbling, “They’re mostly in French, though!” LOL! Alexandre! We must meet some day. I would like to talk to you about Eco and semiotics. I have (and have made multiple attempts at reading) Eco’s Serendipities: Language and Lunacy, and Kant and the Platypus: Essays on Language and Cognition. Insofar as me not liking his style, I’ll have to disagree. The truth is every time I start reading him, I end up having to look something up, which ultimately distracts me, and I start reading something else. I swear you have to have a Ph.D. in This, That, and Everything else to actually read the guy :) If he has kids, I bet they have “daddy never has time for us” issues. Just where does he find time to do all his research on so many topics. No, I can’t say that I’ve read Borges, though, after reading about him, I will definitely put him on the list! Thanks Alexandre. Thanks for making me have to buy more books, and look up more stuff! Now the laundry is going to have to wait ANOTHER day :) Allison,

And finished both, though I can't say I remember how either ended. My impression is that Eco wanders around astonished at the things people will believe, and ultimately paints a picture of how they smash into each other. Borges, in contrast, creates narratives that follow specific ideas directly to their consequences. There, I didn't say "paradoxical"! I read both The Name of the Rose and Foucault’s Pendulum.
