A Fictional tale that never happened

E

Guest
Disclaimer: This is a fictional story that never happened and nobody and no places in this story really exist. Once upon a time there was a DJ named Ricardo.Ricardo had been in radio a long and was very good at his format of choice.Ricardo came to Sleepytown and spent many years at a station that did his format and he became a "Heritage Jock" in that format.After several years Ricardo had to leave the station because his outside businesses were interfearing with his station duties and station managment wouldn't tolorate it.Well,after a few years,his business failed and Ricardo had to go back into radio again.Well,Ricardo found another station that did his format.He stayed there for many many years.But after many years Ricardo was getting overcondfident.He would come in and V/T his shift and spend the rest of his shift at his desk surfing the net or talking on the phone.And,Ricardo had a habit of breaking the "corporate parameters" of the station fomatics,in other words he wouldn't shut up when told to shut up,plus he was told not to play certain records and he would do it anyway.Well,station managment got tired of dealing with Ricardo as well as paying him his oversized paycheck that some former owner had decided and let him go.Well,Ricardo was determined that he'd stay in radio,but the problem was even though there was intrest,Ricardo still wanted the paycheck he was getting at his last job,and within the current radio community,NO ONE would give him that much money,but Ricardo didn't want to accept reality and LOWER HIS PRICE.Anyway,Ricardo got a call from a station in nearby Tinytown and accepted a position at that station.Then after accepting that position he disses the stations in Sleepytown for not giving him the paycheck he wanted.There was speculation that the station in Tinytown didn't give him what he wanted either but his financial circumstances were getting fragile and he had to start a getting a paycheck again.Moral: Never get so comfortable that you think you're indespensable,because that is simply not the case.Once again,that whole story was fictional,Ricardo,Sleepytown,and Tinytown never existed and any simlarity to any actual persons living or dead is purely coincidental.Bottom line,what you just read was the work of somebody's imagination and never really happened.It's all fiction with fictional places and characters.

He's too lazy to sit in the studio and do a live shift, but still takes the time to mess with the music log and record "won't shut up" type breaks? Ricardo is a walking contradiction.

How about: This story is based on actual events? Or, maybe, a cautionary tale of the pitfalls of commercial radio? A writer has to know his or her subject before they can write about it with keen insight...<P ID="signature">______________

Maybe you can call it a distilled,condensed fictional story inspired by a comglomeration of seperate real events from the radio industry.
