Listening to the end of Dave Ross today made my skin crawl. I detest his stupid, lame singing bits. He's ok as a talk guy but these satiric songs are beyond lame. A) he can not sing. B) they always sound like they were done in my kid's bedroom with a 4 track Fostex. C) they are not entertaining. Dave? Some things aren't funny. Bernie Madoff should be slowly skinned over a period of two weeks, salted while alive and dipped in battery acid. He destroyed many lives. NBC showed a retired couple in their mid 70's, looking for work after believing this pig and losing their life savings. This isn't the topic nor the time in history to be doing silly songs. Dave - you're working, making good $$. Many are struggling. What's next? A parody on soup lines? A funny ditty about the job fairs? Stick to Octomom and Eyeman and leave this serious, serious stuff alone. And get a weekend gig as a costumer with the Seattle Opera, will ya? That might satiate you Gilbert & Sullivan fetish.
And then there's Dave Niehaus. Of course I like him. Of course I'm a Mariner's fan. But nearly every spring training game I've caught on KIRO he has made numerous mistakes. Closing out an inning with "No hits, no runs - oh, beg your pardon - TWO runs scored ... " How can you make that mistake? I understand some errors but that's like playing a U2 song and backselling it as Brittany Spears. Dave? Are you okay?
Finally - overandoverandover he's refered to as "Hall-of-Famer" Dave Niehaus. I get it. I respect. But I don't need to hear it every single time. A lot of folks have awards and honors. It was a tremendous honor. Let it go. It's like the principal at my kids elementary school. She has a doctorate and INSISTS on the prefix "Doctor" when being addressed or signing anything.
Sooooo boorish.
Over (well, for now) and out.
