Listened to the March 1, 2010 interview with Michael Cremo on Coast to Coast AM.  It was pretty much impossible to get any entertainment out of his “forbidden archaeology” stuff because of a combination of his overpoweringly wacky ideological stances toward a weak-sauce new age spiritualism and his apparent personal quest against evolution and established theories of history and human origin.  His evidence is entirely anecdotal, most of it coming from 19th century sources, and his new age consciousness-based belief system is groan worthy.  Consider me unimpressed.

I listened to the "Dr." David Lewis Anderson, "PhD" interview that was on Coast to Coast AM on 1/31/10 and I have the say the guy was not convincing in the slightest. Wanting to see what kind of evidence he fabricated and planted on the web, I googled and wound up with squat. C'mon, the first thing a modern huckster should do before drawing attention to himself is plant things around the interwebs for Google to find so when people look up your story they find something, anything, that appears to validate at least some of your claims. It's rule number one in this day and age.

Recording songs from the radio onto tape was an artform. Here were some of the tricks I remember employing:

• Visually inspect the tape to see how much tape was remaining on that side -- if you remembered which side went to which side of the tape, and if you remembered the formula to gauge tape fullness based on thickness; because the more full the tape, the less time an eighth of an inch of tape would give you.
