CD's are a GREAT solution!!

Unless you wanna hear Power90-sux stupid azz dj's talkin' about hollering at some dirty hoe, 103.5 dj's making fun of Power90-sux dj's, Y-100's Footy & have no clue (they can be ok but playing Who let the dogs out is NOT my cup of tea);

94.9 ZETA's rant (which is my preferred choice if I HAVE to listen to something else) OR spanish radio but not even I listen to that garbage. I'm not a mikimbin (whuteva tha fuck that means!).

So yeah....morning radio in Miami sucks big, nasty, hairy, cheesy balls!!

:laugh:

I was researching this for another board, likening what is happening now with the backlash of JJ's Superbowl Boob-Time Show to the 1950's when the censors freaked out and took away the right to air anything that had the remote possibliity of causing controversy.

Just a few examples of 50's censorship:

Webb Pierce's "There Stands the Glass" is banned from radio because the lyrics are thought to condone heavy drinking.

Radio stations ban Dottie O'Brien's "Four or Five Times" and Dean Martin's "Wham Bam, Thank You Ma'am" fearing they are suggestive.

CBS television network cancels Alan Freed's Rock 'n Roll Dance Party after a camera shows Frankie Lymon (leader of the doo wop group Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers) dancing with a white girl.

The Parks Department in San Antonio, Texas, removes all rock and roll records from jukeboxes located at city swimming pools, terming it "jumpy, hot stuff" that is unsuitable for teens.

Then, if now is like the '50s, hopefully there will be another liberal renaissance like in the '60s coming 'round the pike
