Hot Dog Hot Dog Hot Dog

Dawn Eden found some unused excerpts from an interview she did with Stan Freberg. (Somewhere in the ancestral homestead, I'm convinced I've still got my copy of his memoir, It Only Hurts When I Laugh.) She needs nudging to transcribe the rest of the tapes, so if you like Freberg, let her know. In the meantime, here's a taste:

"I went back to the guy who said, 'Advertising can't force distribution,' and said to him, 'Look, now I've got Kaiser Foil into 43,000 new outlets. I thought you said that advertising can't force distribution. And he actually said to me, 'It can't. Something must have gone wrong.'"

(Rusty Pipes also spoke to Freberg a while back.)
