In the shadow of the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning USA, a stain now exists upon our nation's collective conscious, a condition that must be excised, or our nation will not function properly as one of a self-governed people. Understanding these long standing truths: What would you suggest as a quick, and, or proper corrective measure?
20% Destroy the Fascist Donald Trump and all of MAGA, because America must never be Great Again.
80% Our self-governed people, and their properly restored institutions, under President Trump, must discover the root causes to properly correct, and save our Constitutional Republic.
0% I thought we had to shut down Free Speech we don't like to save our "democracy," so I am totally confused now.

Mia Culpa, after quick trip to the digital library, it shows that I teetered a bit, but did not fall off the high wire. The routine was to have an audience member pick "3" notes which Steve would turn in to a melody. Confirmed from Wikepedia. I could not find a clip illustrating this yet but here is another clip showing him at the piano. The last thing I need to do now is try to learn how to play the piano. That would clear the room for sure at the Village Clubhouse.

Working without benefit of research, which is a as close as I get to a high wire act, I seem to remember a routine Steve had where he asked several members of the audience to pick four notes on the piano randomly. He would then create a musical melody using those four notes. It was amazing for me as a young boy. Only later did I learn that four notes was 1/2 of the available notes if you don't count sharps and flats, but it sure was impressive.

My morning mission in life now is to research this and see if my memory is accurate. I will do so hoping that the net is secure, because a fall from the grace of accuracy is right up there next to leaking a story to the New York Post.

Steve Allen was a smart guy, who kept a keen eye on his craft. An uncompromising fellow like Stevie could make a name for himself right about now.

I think one could argue that Steve Allen was the thinking man's talk show host. I have no idea why I would have been interested in his show, but the Nervous Don Knots, The sly Louis Nye, and the inappropriate Bill Dana as José Jiménez.

The thinking part came out in his interviews and later "Meeting of Minds" which may have stirred an interest in history for me. I agree 100% with Alex's description. Steve was not bound by any inquisitive boundries.

Maybe they should be required watching in schools now. Here is episode 1 season 1 od Meeting of the Minds.

Good one Alex.

Do you ever wonder what Steve Allen would have made of this Snowflake Generation, and all their deliriously stupid comedians pandering to their pansy-asses?
