I gave the Drive a try last night to see how they were doing outside of mornings. It's just the Loop without "Hot Blooded" once a day, and I'm only saying that because it might be once every two days. The Drive needs to rediscover its hippy-dippy singer-songwriter roots. I'm bored.

XRT's new imaging is disastrous. Now they're mandating the jocks to backsell songs as requests from -- or dedications to? -- random suburbs/neighborhoods, e.g. "That was new Chili Peppers for Park Ridge." Was it? Was it really? It reeks of consultant so hard. Way down we go indeed.

The Loop and the Drive were at their best, oddly enough, when both were under the auspices of the Mormon Church. The Loop would play deep cuts off Physical Graffiti and the Drive would play an entire side of Chicago II. As competitors, you can't tell them apart.

Classic rock definitely has a shelf life for me. I used to like most of these songs but they have filled their quota and then some. Oddly enough the only band that they play that I don't find annoying as shit is the Stones and I was never even a huge fan of them. Someone had 97.1 on all day at work yesterday and it was painful to endure. Stop playing fucking wings....never play wings again......and don't be afraid to play some god damn jethro tull. They still rock.

you figure "SHUT UP AND PLAY MUSIC!" + "I don't roll out of bed for [under] $300k" = DA'MANEEL has quite possibly managed to out-terry terry, eh? except that i think mr. "addicted to weed" prolly has to get up and come into the station/studio everyday, whereas terry has the ISDN line which will get even more workout than #TheReturn (good luck and godspeed, uncle cracky!)
