The Rant & Vent about the Right Wing thread

That was brilliant.  The author was spot-on in recognizing the head honchos' failure to acknowledge that THEY'RE the ones who have created this "changing face of radio."  Dude, who or what do you think is changing it, if not you?  Sheesh.

Anyway, here's some quick fun: Adam Carolla (whom I'd never had use for until now) gives Ann Coulter the two-second gas face: http://www.chortler.com/24644carolla.shtml

i had to visit the link because of the 3rd bass reference.

"You're tight on time? I'm tight on time too, and I don't have time for bitches"

That made my morning.

In light of the layoffs there, the remaining KPIG jocks, bless 'em, have been playing a lot of "radio songs", especially ones about how radio sucks these days: Petty's "Last DJ", Shemeika Copeland's "Who Stole My Radio", etc.  This morning they played this song, new to me but apparently a couple years old, by a Texas singer named Terri Hendrix. The song's called "Monopoly" -- gee, can you guess what Texas-based media company she's referencing?

Supersize my fries
Bring back two apple pies
On your way out
Turn on the radio
Goodbye originality
Say hello to conformity
In the name of change
We're at an all time low

Watch what's on the TV screen
Read the paper or a magazine
And you'll see
That it's all about control
I miss the spice
In the melting pot
Of our lives
It goes down easy but it
Sure ain't got no soul

Keep it down
Keep it down
I'm gonna keep it down
And turn it up
On another day

Keep it down
Keep it down
We've gotta keep it down
And rise up
When you hear me say

There ain't no clear channel
clear channel its clear to see
One choice takes the voice
From individuality

There ain't no clear channel
clear channel its clear to see
One choice takes the voice
Away from you and away from me

At first it was the Cafe
Then the mom and pops all moved away
Now the billboards stand
Where they could not survive
The local DJ lost his show
After 20 years on the radio
Now we're stuck with what
The monopoly provides

I just want something new
To shake my soul and body to
Set up the tent I need to be revived
Make the consultant history
Keep the playlist a mystery
Don't make up my mind for me
Cause I'm still alive

Hey Hey FCC Don't you turn your back on me

Just today I was almost thinking we're living in a golden age of radio, not sure how long it will last.  When I'm in the car, I get to listen to KPIG, when I'm at the office, during non-10@10 time I get to listen to KRSH.  When the real golden age (KYA-KMPX-KSAN) was going on, I didn't have as much access!

I guess "golden" is a relative term. Even KPIG or KRSH at their best aren't the same as true "free-form" progressive FM from the late '60s/early '70s. But the fact that those 2 excellent stations exist within driving distance of each other means we are lucky indeed to be living in the Bay Area.  And the technology that enables us to hear VIP, CG, the various 10@10s, that station in Austin (definitely in the KRSH/KPIG ballpark, you'd like 'em) etc etc certainly makes life a lot more interesting.

Holy S--t!

I somehow missed this story over the weekend. Was anyone else aware of it?

It actually managed to be the top story at CNN.com for a while yesterday.  I'm sure that between the war escalation in the Middle East and this, I would have opted for "OMG BUSH SAID A DOODY"

Heard about it yesterday, and last night of course on the Daily Show, but Ed's point was the profanity was no big deal, compared to Bush's actual intentt that somehow Kofi Annan could just pickup the phone and make it all go away!  What a doofus!

Speaking of which, it bears noting that if Bush wanted Kofi, and the U.N., to be at all effectual, perhaps he shouldn't have appointed to it an "ambassador" who's openly hostile toward them.  I am genuinely surprised that John Bolton didn't terminate his, and the U.S.'s, involvement with the U.N. months ago.

sometimes it seems like Bush is brilliantly executing a phenomenal misdirection play.  Everyday seems to bring some new, incredibly lame event, which takes the focus off of the day before's incredible lame event.  The public is dazzled by each new day, and loses track of all the individual crimes being committed.

Oy!

As if to prove your point...have any of you seen THIS yet!?!?!  Bush sneaks up on German Chancellor Andrea Merkel at the recent G8 summit & gives her an unsolicited backrub.

Can there be any doubt that he's back on the sauce after this?
