The two-part Tape and Record Show "broadcast" of the "Lux Radio Theater" 1947 radio broadcast of "The Jazz Singer" might only be "slightly" more "politically correct" than the original movie it was based on today, simply for the fact you don't actually SEE Al Jolson in black face.
Episode 162 of "The Tape and Record Show" was an old radio broadcast where Lou Costello buys a horse from a person working for the Department of Sanitation and enters it in a race. He's shocked when Bud Abbott tells him horses eat their "fodder".
Then there's episode 36 of "The TRS Music Show". Paul Morrison couldn't keep his now EXTREMELY "politically incorrect" opinions to himself. Apologies to everyone on the planet for that episode. This evening was the first time I've listened to these recordings in nearly three decades, and the remarks had me cringing. Paul and I mention we had tickets to the "Oh! Calcutta!" tour performance at the Monroe Civic Center Theater. Also, listening to the music segments, I did a slight audio speedup in the original editing, to get the episode to fit in as close to a half hour slot as possible at the time.
Episode 37 had James Stricklin acting like an old man, and a rarity for "The TRS Music Show", since very few weird "novelty" songs were played in the episode. James and I briefly discuss Paul and I going to attend "Oh! Calcutta!" at the Civic Center. Apparently, ticket prices for the second row were $22.50 at the time, and James says Eddice would probably block his eyes most of the time if they attended the performance.
