Blue, I've been On It this a.m. too; and Good News quite a few of yesterday's national & local advertisers had no ads on today - also the commercial segments were farther between and shorter - in the 1 /2 hrs between 8:30 and 10. Didn't hear Todays Man this a.m., nor for most of those www's except flashcom and datek. The only new one was for Bumblebee Tuna. Nissan & Annheuser-Busch were still on and so was Innovation luggage (another with stores around here);didn't hear any for Dodge. Bimbos not featured, today was an ethnic put-down theme DUH HYUK HYUK. An hour or so a day while driving to or from work listening to this and similar radio programs or watching those tv shows like Springer often in the afternoon, can that really be the right attitudinal input for anybody? Not to sound like a highminded snob, but thinking anyone who makes such stuff a frequent habit displays them as vulnerable to more likely being harmed by the exposure to it. In the afternoon, it's teens & parents enough to scare the dickens outaya thinking they may be running loose around yer area. When I went to art college in the SF Bay Area, I met some famous names from the '50's and '60's who were put in jail from censorship raids of their performances of plays, poetry, and songs. The door was opened in those days from an almost puritan-like repression probably left over from extreme measures to keep order in society during the WW2 wartime. Things now are out of the governments
hands as it should be; so about now to keep it that way wouldn't it be best to see a better balance come back to the surface of society voluntarily? What must people from other countries think about us, if they understand English and listen to the Howard Stern Show among others? Coming from many of these countries, they'd be impressed at the openness and freedom of our society to see such talk permitted in a nightclub. To hear it on the radio, where in their own country what's on the radio is only govt propaganda, must be terrifying.
Yeah, and Manson too, Joe. This music is what's put in front of them as their generational theme music, wish it were different. The theme background sounds of these times in many ways aren't so pleasant as formerly. Time for a change.
Yer pal,
Joan
