Roger DiGennaro, set on the edge of an East Village roof, two men dangle over the precipice
of love. During a summer sunset, a poet and a performance artist meet and engage in a
battle of wit, fantasy, and seduction. Take a half hour before you go out Saturday night
and listen to our special Gay Pride presentation, June 26th at 9.30 p.m.
And it is Wednesday at 10 p.m., which means it's time once again for Off the Hook.
The telephone keeps ringing, so I ripped it off the wall. I cut myself while shaving.
Now I can't make a call. It couldn't get much worse. But if they could, they would.
Bum-diddly-bum for the best, expect the worst. I hope that's understood. Bum-diddly-bum.
If they could, they would. Bum-diddly-bum for the best, expect the worst. I hope that's understood. Bum-diddly-bum.
Good evening, everybody. This is Emmanuel Goldstein. The program is
Off the Hook, where we talk about new developments in high technology, the telephone system,
computers all over the world, and how it affects you, what Big Brother is up to, and all kinds
of other things. And, of course, we'll be taking your phone calls at 212-279-3400.
Now, we have some very interesting news that affects just about everybody that listens
to this radio station. Something has changed. Something is different. And, well, let's see
if anybody can be the first to call us up and tell us what it is. All right, we're going
to be getting to that in just a little while. Don't call right now. Don't call right now.
Call in a little bit when we give out the phone number once again. For now, we have
some interesting commercial announcements of a sort. Stay tuned.
Well, we've all been watching television. Actually, we haven't all been watching television,
but a lot of us, you know, we can't escape television. It's around us everywhere we go.
And we hear commercials. We hear them all the time. And one of the commercials that
really is hitting us pretty hard are those amazing ones by AT&T. Have you seen those?
You know, have you ever tucked in your baby while running through an airport over the phone?
You will. Have you ever gotten concert tickets in your sleep by pressing a button?
You will. Have you ever conducted a stockholders' meeting in your pajamas?
You will, whether you want to or not, because technology is going to be invading every aspect
of your life. You won't be able to even sit down at the breakfast table without some gadget
ringing and demanding your attention. And you'll have to speak to it and speak to all
the people in Hong Kong and Tokyo and answer important questions, even though it's 4 o'clock
in the morning. You will.
It's the price of progress, but there's always humor to be had somewhere, and the only thing
people like us can do at this point is seek out that humor wherever we might find it.
Well, I'm going to read you a couple of things that have been floating around on the Internet
and computer systems like the well and other places like that. Some other possibilities
that AT&T may not want you to know about. Have you ever accidentally dropped your wife's
entire medical history on a smart card out of your shirt pocket and had your parents
discover her two previous abortions? You will.
Ever had your nattering co-workers pursue you without mercy to the beach, where they
insist on your making vitally important business decisions even though you're blitzed on kamikazes?
You will.
Ever been locked out of your apartment because you have laryngitis?
You will.
Those three come to us through the wit and wisdom of Bruce Sterling, author of The Hacker
Crackdown. He's been on this program a couple of times, I believe.
And we have a couple of others, too.
Have you ever had your five-year-old drop your entire stock portfolio down the garbage disposal?
Have you ever had your babysitter reroute the house inter-video comm into her school's
local net and broadcast your afternoon delight?
Or have you ever had a bit error cause a turnpike crossbar to come down on the windshield of
your car at 100 miles an hour?
You will.
Those three come to us from a user on the well-known as Amicus.
Here are a couple of others. These from Bill McDonald.
Have you ever checked out your girlfriend's credit card use while you were out of town
and found she went to New Orleans without you?
You will.
Have you ever checked out your neighbor's religion before renting an apartment to avoid
moonies, latter-day saints, and Episcopalians?
Oh, you will.
We've all come up with lots of scenarios here.
In fact, that's one of the things I'd like to have a few people call in tonight with
some other additions to this list.
These from George Gleason. Particularly good.
He was on the program a few weeks ago, too. People's Telecom in Berkeley.
Have you ever had a phone call from your health insurance company telling you they're canceling
your coverage because a scan of your supermarket buying patterns showed too much beef and dairy?
You will.
Have you ever had a flock of evangelists show up at your digital door to save your soul
after they found your personal ad in the online gay column?
You will.
Have you ever had the title to your house seized because your demographic profile fits
that of a drug user?
You will.
Have you ever been refused a job or promotion and then discovered that someone has been
looking at your read list as well as your print magazine subscriptions and cable viewing
habits?
You will.
Have you ever been pulled over by the highway patrol because the electronic toll booth checked
your vehicle ID against a nationwide list of parking tickets unpaid after 12 months?
You will.
Have you ever been fired from your telecommuting job after an unexcused five-minute absence
from your home keyboard to attend to your kid who is sick with chicken pox, measles,
typhoid, tuberculosis, dysentery?
You name it.
You will.
Have you ever had a 20-minute video conference call with your family at Christmas instead
of visiting them in person because none of you can get away from your jobs long enough
to get together and no one has enough space in their tiny physical living quarters to
accommodate more than two other people at one time?
You will.
Have you ever paused to recall the quote about dictatorships that says something about petty
tyranny where all that is not mandatory is forbidden and major tyranny where all that
is not forbidden is mandatory?
If so, have you ever considered what you're being prepared for by being told time and
time again, you will?
The white man ain't left me nothing out here but the underworld and that is where I stand.
Where do you stand?
I am concerned over the possibility of another gang war.
why?
You hear me?
Don't.
Well, you know what gets me most about these AT&T commercials that are being plastered
everywhere is that they're advertising things that don't exist.
How can they get away with that?
You know, have you ever had a cure for cancer and lived the rest of your life in bliss and
harmony?
Well, you will.
And this commercial is brought to you by IBM, you know?
It doesn't make any sense.
Does this stuff exist or doesn't it?
If it exists, let's play around with it.
If it doesn't exist, then be quiet.
And when I say let's play around with it, that includes let's decide if we want to use
it in the first place.
It takes a bit of time to make these decisions, and it takes input from the public, you know,
just the thing that the phone companies don't really want.
And that's why we have things like caller ID, call return, and all kinds of other things
that might be nice, but at the same time might be awful.
Okay, we're going to maybe, I stress maybe because we're not sure if this is even going
to work, maybe explain some of this in a way that people can understand, maybe.
Our phone number is 212-279-3400.
Now I'd like for somebody to tell me on this program what has changed.
Something is different.
Something here at WBAI has changed, and it affects all of us.
Might be a subtle change, might not be something that you think is all that important, but
in the end it is, especially to a program like this.
Think about it, 212-279-3400.
Here's a hint.
Some of you may be experiencing it even now as you're trying to reach us.
The question is why?
What has happened?
I just got a glimpse of this big sign that our outgoing program director left us.
Andrew Phillips is leaving as of June 30th.
Not leaving the station, but leaving as program director.
Just left this big sign up that says, thank God it's over.
I kind of know that feeling, but I feel that way after getting done putting out an issue
of 2600.
It's just, it's incredible stress, you know, that it's finally over and you can rest for
a while and wonder what the next catastrophe is going to be, and you find out very soon
thereafter.
All right, as we mentioned several times now, our phone number is 212-279-3400.
Let's see if anybody has figured it out.
Good evening.
Yeah, hold on, and I'm going to tell you what it is.
Oh, you already know.
He's already told us 50 times.
Good evening.
Hello, how are you doing?
Okay, I want to see if anybody else can get it.
Uh, your theme song has changed.
It has?
Yeah.
Well, no, that was background music.
The theme song.
Well, background theme song, yeah.
The background music always changes.
It's in perpetual flux.
Okay.
Yeah.
Sorry, I missed it.
No, but the, uh, the intro music is the same as the outro music, so you can catch that
at about 10-57 or so.
All right.
Is that all you called about?
No, you said what it changed.
Oh, you think, you think that's changed?
No, no, no, it's not, it's not the music.
I wouldn't, I wouldn't, uh, trouble our listeners for something so simple as our music.
No, this is something a bit more complex than that.
Okay.
All right?
Keep up the good work.
Okay, thanks for calling.
Let's see if anybody else, uh, has, has a theory here.
Good evening.
Is anybody there?
Anybody at all?
No.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
All right.
Good evening.
Is anybody there?
Anybody at all?
Nobody.
Wow.
That's really kind of scary there.
Good evening.
Hi.
I think I have the answer, and I also can put in a question and a comment.
Okay.
Let's hear the answer first.
Okay.
The first answer is, uh, what happened when I called you originally, I had to redial because
it got cut off.
Got cut off.
Wow.
You noticed that, huh?
Yeah.
Now, when did it get cut off?
I didn't time it, but I'd say, uh, well, I'm starting to get a natural reaction to it.
I'm starting to get a natural reaction to it.

Radio 99.5 on your FM dial, New York.
Good evening. In the news tonight, some progressives rethink the U.S. role in
Bosnia. African-Americans threaten to yank their money out of banks that
redline black communities. America is throwing away the next generation of
teens. And here in New York, hundreds of minority construction workers charge
they're being shut out of jobs in their own communities. With these and other
stories, I'm Amy Goodman in New York, and this is the news for Wednesday, June
23rd, 1993. First, to Verna Avery Brown with these news headlines. It's the
first day of the United Nations oil embargo on Haiti. From Port-au-Prince, J.
P. Slavin reports on the situation in Haiti. No long gas lines were reported
in Port-au-Prince. Businesses and schools also operated normally. The
de facto government announced a limited gas rationing program forbidding the
sale of gasoline in the evening.
