Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Fun in the dashboard last night! Two new callers, which in and of itself is not unusual. What made it unusual was that the call was from DS#1 (a clark with secondary scottian aspect) and she started out by informing us (Molly and Ms. AKH), that she was sitting by her vehicle in the Park in New Smyrna Beach and had a couple of rogers with her. Interesting conversation.
Our new Callers had some very challenging and interesting questions for us. ‘What is the point of all this effort’, ‘How is it that clarks act one way with rogers and another way with scotts?‘ and ‘If your Doctrine is all that DS says it is, tell me what kind of luxury car would I buy?’
lol that last question is (the kind of question) what keeps us calling in to the Drive! We talked about foreign and domestic brands and ended up with the choices for a roger as:
- foreign: BMW, Saab and Volvo
- domestic: (interesting juncture in that I called for Buick if it were a younger roger and high-end Ford if an older roger… Bruce admitted to a Lincoln…)
- SUVs: Molly went with one of the more steroidal Jeeps such as the Rubicon, I went with Range Rover but then again, I thought the Buyer would be a roger, she said scott.
The conversation dynamic was interesting, too. We had DS#1 (a clark) playing the proper host to her guests and Ms. AKH ( a scott ) who actually provided the focus at times when the converstation threatened to veer off the road, and Molly (a clark) providing the strong counter/reinforcement highlights with some of the trickier concepts.
Towards the end of the evening, the other roger on the line with DS#1 asked a very directional question about the use of the descriptor ‘proper behavior’ in the context of how rogers viewed themselves. This lead to the description of the world as being perfect (from the perspective of a roger). Molly came to our collective rescue by referencing the scenario of the rogerian applicant for a job as a waitress. This particular scenario is interesting in that all rogers, when presented with the choices of action, have responded with total uniformity and consistency, and our guest caller (roger#2) was no exception. The concept of a ‘referential authority’ being central to the rogerian worldview was further validated.

But, you say, did we have fun last night? Speaking for myself, the answer is an unequivocal ‘totally’.
(the ‘Dentists’ in the Post Title? that comes from a very very old tale from the life of the Progenitor roger. You really should ask him, as a hint, it involved roger, in anticipation of going in for some major dental work, expressing a concern about being up to the task of ‘dying right’. It really is a fascinating insight into the rogerian worldview ).

About clarkscottroger
Grazing in the Grass video is a GAS! Man, I miss those types of vids and performances. Maybe I’m getting old. I think I am. The NEW music, I have decided, is NOT for me, not intended for my pleasure – I enjoy real music, fun good time classics – the new stuff is well, NOT THAT.
I’ve been awol for a variety of reasons, non to do with health, just jobs, house, life, relatives, molars, all kinds of BS. So, I’m still aware of the WD, just not as active. With that I say, I will be once things settle down. Do they ever settle down or is it just life being life? My control button is broken. My mind is stuck in the classic rock days and I don’t even want out! To me, that was music. Today? It’s spoken, yelled poetry with a backdrop of beats that numb your brain in 10 seconds. I don’t CARE about you or your issues or your shorties or your dong or your weed or your low IQ.
That being said – I hope all of you are doing well. The manager of Diddy, 50 cent and others killed himself the other night. Lots of Hollywood types, offing themselves. What’s up? Well, as Frank said “the higher the top, the longer the drop.”
Until next bubbling comments . . . yours truly . . . Crab in Dallas
…we here
(I suspect that there is no settle down for any of us… hey remember what the last set of any gig you (or any of us have played)…not more orderly or more controllable …just lets do this thing and get out before the Brides uncle comes up and insists on another line dance (was in a Wedding band once called Brass Tacks (when you ready to get serious about music get down to brass tacks*) we played all the hits… thank god for Mike Post.
Oh yeah! almost forget… you must have seen Jenny’s DocTee photo taken in front of the (damn) Cavern…now the depressing part, many people in the car this Saturday did not know the significance of the location… of course, Molly and ‘KH and (even) DS can be forgiven for a) being too young and 2) be of the female genderation but even still, the Cavern!!
Anyway, we will be on the air, call us anytime**
* no, it does not make any more sense now than it did in 1974
** as long as it is 8- 8:45 EDT
Did someone say cavern? Not MY cavern. Oh no. That’s where we scotts rest when we’re not out on the prowl for a good time or something good to eat.
BTW, good to hear that you’re still here with us Steve. Yeah, life gets in the way sometimes.
Speaking of GAS, Classical Gas comes to mind… One of those you never forget.
