Ok if anyone remembers anything about this let me know because just recalled some of this tonight and would be interested in knowing the story behind it.
When we were in straight they had a radio show where they ended up doing a "series", I believe. On Straight Inc. I know for a fact one week (an hour long talk show) they had phasers, one week they had siblings, and I believe one week they even had parents. If memory serves correct they had the whole family on just on different "episodes". My mom had tapes of this and she may still have copies I'm going to ask the next time we talk. But we were one of the families on the show. The week I was on I "believe" it was myself (pretty sure I was there), John Grimes (Kevin's brother) and maybe even one of the Kerrigans? And then the week my brother was on it was him and some phasers.
All I remember is being asked questions about straight, and about my family and the situation. At that point and time my brother was on a higher phase or he wouldn't have been able to do the show. Can you only imagine a 1st phaser having access to a live local broadcast. Hell i'm surprised they had any phasers to be honest or that one didn't stand up and scream RESIST or some shit. lol It's somewhat of a haze but i do remember sitting around the table, we each had a mic in our face and we talked for close to an hour. I remember listening to my tape and to my brother's. I just can't remember a thing we said. Imagine that. I just wanted to know if this rang a bell for anyone. I would love to get copies of these tapes and if I do obviously i can make copies I think it might be a bit trippy to hear but i'm definitely interested in listening if I can get them. If not there still might be copies available somewhere as it was on the air. I believe it was an AM station, but don't recall which or what show.
Ultimately I'm sure it was to promote straight, etc. Ring a bell anyone? This would have been around 1984ish in Virginia.
