BSTF 910 - Bettie Page Speaks Pt 2 of 2
April 22, 2012, 9:50 a.m.
This the second part of the Bettie Page interview that I've been sitting on practically since I started the show. Being able to share this precious thing with you is so special I can't stand it. It's one thing to read the interview in a magazine--but to hear her voice grow warmer as the memories start flooding back, and her knowing chuckles...it just killed me. And the story of Bettie and the lobster traps always breaks my heart.
That part of her story happened after she walked away from modeling and all that noise. She was working as a secretary in Florida, living with a boyfriend named Armando--as Bettie put it, "He liked eating hamburgers and making love. After a while, I got tired of hamburgers..." But they were scraping by, supplementing their income with lobsters that they caught and sold. They set traps out in the ocean and as soon as Bettie got off work, she'd get in the boat and go out and haul up her lobster traps--only to find them empty, because "bad boys" from town had gone out there and stole her lobsters while she was at work. That image of Bettie, bobbing alone and insignificant in a little boat out at sea, crying over her empty lobster traps when just a few years before she was at the center of the world...it just fucking slays me every time.
And hear the MOST BONEHEADED FUCKUP IN THE HISTORY OF HIPSTERS as *somebody* records himself making dinner plans with some jerkoff OVER THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF BETTIE'S LIFE STORY!!!
Well, it's NOT right now any more! You missed it, and she's DEAD! BETTIE'S DEAD! And YOU WEREN'T HERE! You, you--*sob, sob, choke*
/**SLAM!**
BSTF 909 - Bettie Page Speaks Pt 1 of 2
April 22, 2012, 9:28 a.m.
You know, I don't think this one is in the files at radio4all.net, and damned if it doesn't richly deserve to be. I transcribed an interview with Bettie that was done right before she surfaced, and I've held onto that audiocassette since 1996 like I was protecting the Grail. Bettie was uneasy with her celebrity, and I vowed that I would protect it until it couldn't hurt her anymore. When she finally passed on, I blew the dust off it and gave it a spin on the show--two episodes worth--to send this earthshaking lady on in style. That was in 2008...
Since then, I saw the biopic THE NOTORIOUS BETTIE PAGE--and you know, they stuck pretty close to the real story. In fact, parts of it eerily echoed the version of the Bettie story that I did for the BIG BOOK OF WILD WOMEN, which never got published. But the fact is that this seminal interview was the source of the BETTIE PAGES feature on her, then the Richard Forster bio, and then the film. There were some left- field turns--like the way the screenplay had that invented regular boyfriend character just to have someone whose shock and tight-assery play against Bettie's innocence and cost her something important in the plot. It also skipped over her marriage to Harry, the guy who was apparently so handsome that it gave rise to the rumor in the late '60s that Bettie Page herself had been spotted walking through Times Square arm in arm with Steve Reeves. But the point is that whatever details in the movie differ from the truth, YOU WILL KNOW IT. I was a fly on the wall for this remarkable artifact--the second person to hear that voice come spilling out of the tapedeck. And ever since then, I was itching to share this with the world.
It's time to play it again and put it in the archives where it came swim upstream and spawn. So...the next two BSTF episodes will be BETTIE PAGE SPEAKS.
You will fucking DIE, seekers. Truly.

#216 -- Peak Oil, Peak Natural Gas, Peak Electricity... (Part 2)
April 20, 2012, 2:21 p.m.
It's not just oil. With growing demand and declining supplies, all forms of energy will soon become very expensive. No alternative sources can produce as much energy as we are now obtaining from oil and natural gas--both of which are in decline. Some proposed alternatives (hydrogen, ethanol) are pipe-dreams. Is this the end of The American Way of Life? Probably. Several experts lucidly explain what's happpening and what we have to do.
