SINPO=44433
103- Industrial sounding instrumental music, with repeating beats and tones.
107- Zeeky talking over the music, about having a good day in Vermont (except a shooting in Bennington, "where it's psychedelic"). Says he's the "fourth channel..the one you can hardly hear, but it's there." Unhappy about Vermont Public Radio versus WRUV frequency issue.
157- Zeeky talking about when a TV set and radio looked like a piece of furniture. Talk of transmitters, Gunsmoke, and all manner of topics.
200- "Gunsmoke" Theme.
