Renny's Riot
Wednesday December 23rd, 2020 with Mudman the Miserable
Just say HELL NO TO MISTLETOE! For some, the lonely, the poor, the pagans, Xmas is no fun. Here's a collection of songs about the dark side of the holidays.

Filling in for Kid Caffeine is his brudder from another mudder, the fluid druid, the pagan puddle, Mudman the Miserable! Spineless but not mindless!

It would never have occurred to me to rhyme “Jesus” with penis,” but then that’s why we listen to CKCU, isn’t it? To hear something we never heard before. So thanks, and Merry Christmas!

And a merry one to you Terry.
