These two incomplete pieces of tape have two different dates…but both are from Lassiter’s 1990 Christmas Show. The reason for it we don’t know - but it doesn’t matter; they keep Bob’s Christmas spirit alive as always.

UPDATE: Here are some photos from key places in Bob’s Christmas stories. A big thanks goes out to Kerry Bennett for the Haddon Ave postcard. Click on the thumbnail to view the full sized photo. Enjoy!

1. Haddon Ave. in Collingswood, NJ. The sign for Boswell’s Gifts can be seen in the bottom right hand corner.
2. 1958 ad for the Lady Schick Razor.
3. Lit Brother’s Department Store in Philadelphia.
4. The Enchanted Colonial Village display at Lit Brother’s.
5. The William Sloane House YMCA in NYC.
6. Bluebeard’s Castle in the Virgin Islands.

A no holds barred look at the underbelly of radio! One of Bob’s finest moments in broadcasting as an industry once operated by broadcasters is bought out by financial speculators, eliminating thousands of jobs along the way. Middle management hacks rein supreme as soul & community are thrown to the curb & pissed on. Twenty six years in the making, Lassiter comes out swinging like an engine of controlled fury through the greed & corruption of an industry gone mad!

Here is a link to the story in the St. Petersburg Times that helped spur this monologue on.
