I'M THE MIGHTY FAVOG, and welcome to Revolution 21 . . . and its freeform show, 3 CHORDS & THE TRUTH. 3 Chords & the Truth is good music and a good time. 3C&T shares the Revolution 21 empire with Revolution 21's Blog for the People, which -- like the show -- is a mixture of . . . EVERYTHING. The serious and the foolish. Rock . . . and roll. And blues in the night.

episode 146: 3 Chords & the Truth: <i>What, me worry?</i>
When I was a young'un, if there was stuff in the world that damn well needed a good dose of ridicule, MAD magazine was there to do what needed to be done.
And at 60 cents -- cheap -- we angsty adolescents well could afford a crucial element of our education.
This week's edition of 3 Chords & the Truth testifies to the impact MAD has had on me half a century later. And I regret MAD is no longer on the periodical stands in drugstores and supermarkets everywhere in a country so, so ripe for a good satirical roasting.
Really, it's gonna be good on the Big Show this week. I'd give it a listen if I were you.
Never, ever completely let go of the 12-year-old inside you. The kid will come through exactly when you need him. Or her.
And so will MAD, even though it's disappeared from drugstores and supermarkets. Now -- where you can find it -- it overwhelmingly consists of reprinted classic material. Pity. More than ever, this country is, as they say, a target-rich environment.
The best thing I can say about this here podcast, probably, is it's produced by a child of MAD. And that's pretty damn good.
It's 3 Chords & the Truth, y'all. Be there. Aloha.
