Big Show comedy bits...

does the site work? (I'll try it after this...) the last few times I went on it, it seems like it was hacked, and someone changed it to a restaurant review page.
 
it should work--he has the skyline of Boston and things like samples, cartoons, demos, press etc.

A Globe article is mentioned on the Press page (Bill Smith is quoted--I believe Smith used to be at WBOS --
originating the Blues On Sunday show--among other stations, and he does work for WRKO, or had done work...)
 
interesting--I read the Globe article on his press page and it mentioned his macular degeneration (he can't
read many things and has never driven, similar to a friend of mine who is legally blind). Howie used to talk
about having an "intern" named "Blindspot" and he also called him Pete. That must have been Pete Gustin...

The Chicks had him and Anthony Mancini on when they were at BU as interns, Mancini was "Monkey @ss" and Pete was "Weird Blind Pete"
 
I love Pete's stuff. The no holds barred and no personality is off limits (including the Big O himself) attitude is fantastic. I often wonder if he sleeps. Some of the stuff that is heard in the early morning relate to late events from the night before. I know Fox25 did a feature segment on him, which I think is up on his web site as well. The Globe article tells how he can't (or couldn't) get an agent because he is legally blind and can't see a "normal" printed script. A talent like Pete that can't get an agent is kind of hard to imagine.

He can't get an agent because it would be too hard for them to rob him blind.
 
thanks... I found the bit I wanted, too... the whole Smerlas needing to branch into other types of tailgate parties bit. I have a way to record streaming audio so it's now saved to a lovely MP3 file. I heard it yesterday when driving and damn near drove off the road laughing...
