The Golfer's Rite of Spring

Aired March 25, 2009. This episode celebrated the Vernal Equinox by recasting Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring. In place of the virgin dancing herself to death was sportswriter & virgin caddy Rick Reilly's death-dance for the primadonnas of pro golf - Reilly's audiobook Who's Your Caddy was played with Stravinsky's violent modern ballet. And just to keep things interesting, tracks from two Victoria, BC punk bands, The Dayglo Abortions & Nomeansno, were played between movements.
