The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

Thin Lizzy pisses all over Pink Floyd from Phil Lynott's big Black Irish cock.

Not even close to the degree that "Dream On" and "Strawberry Fields" get played.

Where are the stations playing the Buzzcocks and Iggy Pop?

Well, I'd argue punk rock was not quite as mainstream back then. However, I'm smart enough to know that I'm just asking for trouble making any statements like that.

You're right, but that's the whole point. The reason some shit is more popular is because it appeals to a larger group. You don't get rich targeting Generation X.

Yet...

Those guys will one day yearn for the music of their prime years just like I will one day and I'll be like "Oh cool, this station plays Basket Case, Jesus Of Suburbia and When I Come Around!".

Though, Pandora may end that whole thing.

I used to think that Rick but 70's Rock has been claiming classic status since I was a kid (bout 30 years)

Wasn't "Classic Rock" basically invented to get all the guys who weren't interested in things like disco, punk, and eventually alternative and rap? You could have been 25 years old in 1985 and basically become a Classic Rock guy because you hated the other options that were out there. You'd still be in the prime radio listening years.

Isn't Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins already starting to creep in as "Classic Rock"?

Smashing Pumpkins does share a lot of traits with Boston and Kansas though.

Juiced, I don't think it's accurate to say I "blasted" views on the show. I observed there's been a predictable rush to judgment.

You guys regularly note that sports radio types are so very thin-skinned -- and you're RIGHT -- so don't be so think-skinned yourselves when your observations are challenged.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

no and I really don't completely believe it but I don't want to take this into another direction on how I would derive meaning

Think about it even at the highest level: a doctor saves a life...big deal, it's one in 4 billion and that person is going to die some day anyway

For the record, Mac, I am happy for you to be doing what you love.
I'm doing what I love too, and as I was unhappy as fuck as a VoIP System Designer I've found a love for the machines that keep us warm in a way I couldn't really explain to anyone, especially my stupid aunts and uncles who constantly tell me how any idiot can do this work (they can't) and I am wasting my potential (I probably am) and that I should have been a lawyer or a doctor (yeah, you want me cutting you open).

But... I'm guessing these guys aren't your audience any longer.

I understand that there is a feeling here that maybe, after listening to you arguably made you the man you are today (in reference to your point about having made millions in sports talk), they may feel some abandonment.

However, to thine owns self be true.

I find it a little odd that neither Frank or Mac mentioned the vacation they took together last year.

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

I find it a little odd that you know this.

I rarely troll.

Brogue wants to go on a mancation with a couple guys from the board.
I don't blame him.
It's sinful good fun.

Is Mac's gay friend invited, too?

Christ man, 4 hours of Classic Rawk and nary a Pink Floyd song?

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

I need to listen to this show more.

1. The sun rising in the East.

3. Meaningless Bears yak yak in the offseason.....

... is this board rushing to judgment on a radio program. It's amusing.

The show is off to a terrific start. Bosses are pleased. Showmates and I are happy.

Just a couple thoughts before you go back to trashing it or getting on to the next interview with Pernell McPhee's college roomate....

1. The show will sound much different in six months than it does today. It will sound even more different a year from now. #softlaunch

2. I took this job for me... nobody else. I beg your pardon, but I don't care how many sports radio or talk radio listeners come aboard. The auditorium was full when Pete and I got here. #bestmusicevermade

3. Beardown has a truth-telling style. #gettingoutofbed

Carry on. Now here's Aerosmith.
