Watching the footage of the A- bomb test in '46, Gilda was its name. Cue Gilda Radner and think SNL '76 when Karen Black was host and John Prine was the musical guest. In his 2nd song, The Bottomless Lake, he says" if you go on a long trip, wear clean underwear." In the 1st sketch, Gilda plays Patty Rivers and Dan Aykroyd asks her if she ever was embarrassed when she was a cheerleader "that her UNDERPANTS showed". This plus Karen Black died on the 67th anniversary of when Gilda was dropped on Bikini Atoll, doncha get it? It was all pre-planned - there is no coincidence, it's all fate and destiny. So today in honor of Karen and Gilda I am wearing no underpants. I imagine that it's spontaneous and unrehearsed on my behalf, but I think somehow I was feted because I am sitting here with no underpants in a place 2491 miles from my birthplace just to be able to tell this. By the by, 2491 was the stock number of the bra Rita Hayworth wore in the movie Gilda. Are you spooked out yet? I am.
