Venus And The Man. A Classic WKRP Episode...
You guys must all remember this right? Venus is dating this lady who has a son that's getting into the street life and wants to drop out of high school. It's crazy real in Cincinnati. Anyhow, she asks Venus to break it down for him and to help keep the fool in school.
So Venus gets a few minutes with the dude and tells him that he can teach him all about the atom in two minutes. Dudes all like "allright teach, I'll stay in school if you can do that" So Venus spins this tale of protons and electrons as various gangs that hang around the neighborhood or "the nucleus"..
It's crazy cool and I remember that I saw it a super youth and by the time we actually got around to learning about science I recalled Venus' teaching so clearly that I felt like a super genius when we went over the subject.
Venus was a really cool character. I totally dug his cooled out late night DJ vibe. Not only are there no shows about radio stations anymore I bet that there are less then a handfull of chill vibin' late night DJs that ring gongs and light incense at the start of there program.. The world is weaker for the loss...
