Man, who hasn't aged gracefully into being on 720 at this point. Please just no Mancow.

Going to have someone from the Smoking Popes and Nicholas Tremulis on. I wonder what happened to the Eclectic Company.

Never has anyone been seduced by his own mediocrity as much as James Van Osdol.

Well, I think being the music director for a highly influential music station is a decent claim to fame. I suspect you're being willfully obtuse.

I couldn't tell you the name of a single music director outside of Norm Weiner.

I am acquainted with someone who has known Van Osdol for 30+ years and have met "JVO" himself on a few occasions. Plain and simple, he's a bad guy. And not in the sense that he's a simple-minded but fundamentally impotent loon like Kid Cairo, whose egomania forces him to use the internet as a staging ground for his perpetual, ongoing crises of identity. Rather, Van Osdol has a history of malevolent, sociopathic behavior--both wantonly illegal and aggressively hateful--that has proven destructive for many around him, including some of his closest colleagues, friends and relatives. The dude has an amazing record collection and knows a lot about pop music, but he is pretty seriously deranged.

Not that we have established that CH is tracking a sociopath, I just want to say that Norm Weiner is a helluva nice guy and all around decent person.

Yeah, gotta believe he's pretty much the best at what he does.

But no seriously, I like Blues Breakers! Maybe they figured they had to get rid of another old guy like when they fired Skafish.

Aw, I liked him. I'm pretty much good with everyone on the air there, though.
