River Cities’ Reader publisher Todd McGreevy talks with WQUD GM Aaron Dail and Pat Jones, Sancho Panza to Dail’s Don Quixote, re recent highlights, both online and within Issue N° 1019. Joining the two for half of the discussion is Li Arellano, the former mayor of Dixon, Illinois, and one of three Republicans vying for the open 37th District state Senate seat at present. (The other candidates are Chris Bishop, former Dixon teacher and a member of the Dixon City Council, and Tim Yager, a member of both the Henry County Board and the Henry County Farm Bureau.) McGreevy solicits Arellano’s opinion re the recent state efforts to push Donald Trump off their ballots — since decided by the Supreme Court to be the provenance of Congress, not the states — and both question the legality of such efforts, given that (to date) Trump hasn’t been convicted of any federal offense that would mandate such pre-emptive actions.

Anthony Dail talks with Tony Danza, the son of a Brooklyn garbageman and a graduate of the University of Dubuque, about the great good fortune of his career, whose embers started glowing on Taxi (1978-1983), caught fire on Who’s the Boss? (1984-1993), lighted his way to teaching English for a year for a reality show (Teach: Tony Danza) and wrote about that (I’d Like to Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had: My Year as a Rookie Teacher at Northeast High), and continues to blaze his way across the nation, having played his alma mater 22 October 2022 and, most recently, Rhythm City Casino Resort Event Center in Davenport, 23 May 2023. As assuredly as one can sustain a metaphor across an entire sentence, Danza works a room, reminding (or teaching) audiences about the days of variety TV, when a performer performed: If he could sing, dance, play a ukulele, tell jokes, and keep a steady patter going, then he might be ready for Prime Time. And Danza’s been ready for PT for the longest time. Respect!
