Ask the Gulch: Which Entertainer would you invite to the Gulch

Let's be honest: all work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy. So assume that you live in the Gulch and you were given the responsibility of selecting one entertainer (or group) to live in the Gulch and give performances (paid of course). Who would you select and why?

    Rick Lewis is now on the afternoon drive-time talk station KOA, the former home of Denver's talk radio giant Mike Rosen. I did two hours in studio once with Mike, which was a great experience. Mike's just brilliant.

    Mike Floorwax retired a few years back, citing an unnamed health issue. No idea what's become of him since. I've heard people ask Rick on the air, but apparently Wax asked him to keep mum about it, and he is.

    Danny Kaye - no question.
    He can do it all. from slapstick, to storytelling, to song and dance, and of course accompanied by his wife, Sylvia Fine who wrote his songs and some of his skits as well as orchestrating songs which she accompanied him with on the piano. And he never needed to resort to vituperation to get a laugh, Red Skelton.is my next choice. However, they happen to be two dead guys. However, if you must limit it to living entertainers, I think Jerry Seinfeld tops the list.

    Get the obstacles of the feds, the AMA, and the poisoning pharma giants out of the way and productive lifespan will increase by 20 years. The driving force behind the medical "industry" has been to drain the assets of patients until they can't afford the addictive treatment instead of prevention and making patients into healthy people safely. The oath to "do no harm" has been ignored.

    Definitely, Dennis Miller. conservative, smart and funny guy. He survived Bill O'Reilly and is now on Fox's Varney & Co. He doesn't use a script and thinks on his feet.

    Tim Allen but he would have to bring his TV daughter Mandy.

    Tigers would be good, but I can't stomach the Yankees. They are all about the pocketbook not the development of real talent. If they didn't have a $200+ mil salary cap, they'd be last in their division. I'd rather see the Cubs or the Dodgers.

    Wow, really, Lewis and Floorwax? I moved to Denver in 1976, left in 1980 for the military. Used to go back all the time and don't remember the years but used to listen to them all the time I was home.

    Well, that's an easy one. One would have to be the Detroit Tigers and the other possibly the New York Yankees.

    How about holding the All Star game in the Gulch or inviting a couple of major league baseball teams to play a few games.

    I would invite John Williams for his sheer ingenuity in the field of music. And because I happen to really like the majority of the movies he has composed for!

    Michael Moore. I am 99 percent sure he would not accept, but follow my argument. Imagine my dear invitee had a socialist commune of his own design, in a complete reversal from the Gulch. This commune would have no currency, no barter, no business, no individual espousing rational self-interest. It would have altruism, or, more appropriately, it would be devoid of real purpose. Now imagine Michael Moore inviting John Allison, Leonard Peikoff, or John Galt. It couldn't happen. Why not? Because these men are CONSISTENTLY RATIONAL and we know it. So Michael Moore may not accept my invitation, but at least we would know the reason: oppositional second handers cannot explain the views of their opponents using their own methods. Also, thank you for posting your question. This was a fun thought exercise.

    Frankly, he needed to. Years ago I used to do semi-regular commentary on animal rights stuff for a local morning drive-time radio show on the Denver classic rock station. Rick Lewis and Mike Floorwax, the hosts, had Uncle Ted on a lot too; Rick once told me that they liked me as a "calmer and more reasoned" alternative to Ted.

    And yeah, he's mellowed out some in the last couple of years.

    Interestingly, the Motor City (really from Jackson, MI - an hour west of Detroit) Madman said that his wife had convinced him to tone things down recently.
