KFOG, But Not 10@10

[RGMike]

Just before 10@10 they played this just AWFUL J. Mraz tune.  Yuck!

ha -- it's actually one of his less-annoying ones (which isn't saying much).

BTW, Gory said tomorrow they'll be discussing a controversial new Sports bar in SF -- anybody have a clue what he's talking about? A gay sports bar, maybe? There's already a Hooters at Fisherman's Wharf, so that would be old news.

Old news, indeed:

DING DING DING! A gay sports bar is opening in the Castro -- SF's first true "gay sports bar", apparently:

someone commented "the Pilsner Inn is a sports bar; not sure why this bar is said to be the first."

Yeah I saw that. The Pilsner is a gay bar that happens to show sports (which most other gay bars tend not to do, or only do very grudgingly). It's a fine, friendly, laid-back place but it's not a "sports bar" in the sense of sports being the main focus/theme, with 24 TVs all tuned to a different game and a kitchen with an extensive menu. Which, presumably is what "Hi-Tops" will be.

I wonder how the new gay sports bar will affect the SF rankings in the "manliest city" category?

BTW did anyone hear the discussion of this topic on Wed morning? I missed it.

And I'm baffled by this post in AL's post-10@10 "best of set" thread: "I'm not sure what Summah is, can you let me know? I am not predijust, yet always curious." er... huh?

Did not hear the KFOG discussion, but I'm sure it was nothing earth shattering.  The level of discourse there is superficial. 

"Summah" is he Boston accent pronunciation of "summer."  AL played up the Boston angle and this guy didn't recognize her joke but tried to acknowledge that he's not prejudiced.   or something...

Renee has a girlfriend?

not in that way. 

[RGMike]

My first time hearing this new DMB tune. Damn, it's awful.

[radical347]

In the past half hour we got "Put the Gun Down" by ZZ Ward and "Next to Me" by Emeli Sande, the latter which is apparently in regular rotation now.

The onslaught of Adelealikes has begun.

I'm amazed it took this long!  I'd much rather hear Rumer than 10 women who sound exactly like Adele.

Props to Ben Fong-Torres, whose current column addresses the KFOG in the Morning about-face and Constantine's mea culpa. Considering it has taken him a month or more to cover past developments, this update is as timely as we can hope for.

Btw, KFOG's own web site no longer mentions the departed Twitch, but neither is there any reference to his replacement, Tim Jeffries. Gory and Melanie have bios on the KFOG in the Morning page, but Tim doesn't, and none of them are listed on the airstaff page.

[RGMike]

So, is this a new tradition? Today was the 4th weekday in a row that KFOG played an old Stones song just before 6am. "Six O'Clock Stones" kinda has a nice ring to it. (tho' they haven't actually called it that on-air)
