Either Way,...Credibility Is Shot!

S

Scooter Lesley

Guest
Still, yet again, it is I, Scooter Lesley, Stating out loud, what others are only quietly thinking: CC will boast from coast to coast about their iHeart, Prime Choice stations, that they feature the best music, presented by the best Air Talent. In the words of the late Col. Potter,
HORSE PUCKY! Yesterday, 3/22, THE ROAD's Ken Dashell, backselled, "Shooting Star" by Bad Company, and stated that is was ashame that they lost their original Guitarist, Paul Kossoff, at such an early age. Wrong-o, sez I! Paul Kossoff, died in '76, at age 25. He was the Guitarist for the band, FREE. Bad Company formed in '73, with original Guitarist, Mick Ralphs, formerly of Mott The Hoople. *Whether they simply read what is written for them or they just simply do not know themselves. Yeah, iHeart is free, but No,...it is not the best music, and it is certainly not the best Air Talent. As I said, Either way,...Credibility is Shot!
 
Let's not leave ROQ out of the crediabliity Oafing: The Stoneman is not a bad Air Talent. However, He is not as good as Mark Hendrix. Clearly, (Hendrix is)one of the best that I have ever heard...No BS! Stoney has gotten complacent, and in his defense, I guess so, playing the same ol' crap over & over. Twice, he has backselled "Stay With Me" as by Rod Stewart. Wrong-o! The song is from an album entitled, "A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To A Blind Horse" by...
THE FACES. Rod Stewart was a member of that band, as was Ron Wood, Ian McLagan, Kenny Jones, and the late, Ronnie Lane,...all of which had solo material. Mick Jagger & The Rolling Stones, Steven Tyler & Aerosmith...Generalizing is a compromizzzze, and it is your credibility that suffers. Oh, by the way, their (alleged) New Show, "The 80's At Eight"...It Ain't New. First done in '93, pulled, and spasticly relaunched again in '96. The show ain't new, and all that will differ is that no songs from their other two decades will log/air during that hour. Polishing the turd again!
 
Yes, both of our alleged Classic Rockers are stuggling with credibliity, as they both slice, dice, hash, and re-hash their short burnt playlists, in an effort to make chicken salad outta chicken manure! As I said, regarding ROQ's "New Show", "The Eighties At Eight"....It ain't new!
It has been done twice before, and hosted by way better announcers than Larry Wilson, Spandex or Pantalooms. ...and Marv, hand me my Black Hat...THE ROAD ain't safe from me either. Corporate Bone-Heart, Prime Choice...my ass! April 4th, 1:46am, a VT from Doc Reno, and then "Drift Away" by (the late)Dobie Gray, bumper into Led Zeppelin. Now, I like Dobie Gray, but you tell me if you think that song belongs on a Classic Rock format.

You might be talking about Ken Dashow. Here's Ken's bio:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Dashow

He's not some new kid. He's been doing rock radio since these songs were currents. He's been in NYC radio for 30 years. I'd say he has some credibility. In my view, it's more likely that you misheard what he was saying. We all know that Paul Rodgers & Simon Kirke came to Bad Company from Free, so it's possible he was talking about the two bands in the same segment.

My view is that the Dobie Gray version might have fit better on a classic hits station, were it not for the fact that the song was revived by Uncle Kracker for the rock audience. And it's been my experience that the song resonates well with the classic rock demographic, even though the song was a Top 40 pop hit in its day.
 
Marv,...I won't need the hat this time, but I ask those reading this to stop long enough to backpost, and read this entire topic run. It might take you a few minutes, but it'll bring you up to speed, and then join me after these five little black snowflakes:
***** For me, the kiltmaker might hav'ta add a little more wool to the waistline, but still...today, my hearing is great! Nothing wrong with my eyes or ears. What I hear Ken Dashow state on 3/22 was, without question, just as I discribed. My point is this:
Clear Channel boasts that their "Prime Choice" iHeart stations are "The Best Music, Hosted By The Best National Air Talent". Yes, I take issue with this Horse Manure because it just ain't true, and my example is solid proof! Did he Oaf? Yes, he Oafed, and Biggly did he do so! He Oafed, and he will Oaf again, and there are plenty of local Air Talents here is the GSP market that can easily "Eat His Lunch", and burn the little bag that he brought it in! Tossing a link to his Bio, is again, just more Horse Manure. He has been in "New York" Radio 30-years. Well, I've been here, with over 34+ years. I have made my money too, but no one can match me, regarding Rock Music History. As first, a collector, and then a Broadcaster, I have studied the subject since 1968. As for (the late) Dobie Gray, "Drift Away" is legendary hit song, but does not belong on a Classic Rock formated station. Again, I point-out THE ROAD's 4/4 Oafing. The song belongs on Oldies, (smart)AC's, and Classic Hits formated stations. Smart AC's need to delete the Awww-ful Uncle Kracker cover, and re-grant airplay to the product that deserves it. Before his death, those close to Gray echoed his regret of recording the "Duet"; as after the fact, he became the guy...that sings with Uncle Kracker. Yes, he went to his grave...a victim of...Version Replacement.
Sad, but True,
Scooter Lesley.

Except that he's still on the radio, and is in front of the most demanding audience in the country. If he said something that was factually wrong, someone other than you would call him on it.

We all know how you feel about CC. That affects YOUR credibility.
 
Now,...you are really showing just how much of a Boob you really are.
I am everything that I pretend to be. Most people can't say that, in good faith. No, Scooter Lesley has no credibility problem! My reputation is solid, and I have proven it so, more times than Carter has liver pills. You boast how great Ken Dashow is; a VT originating from New York, and expect followers to your horse manure, here in the South. The truth is: your Superman,...one of CC's Prime Choice Announcers got caught dead-wrong by the watchful ears of yours truely. Here in the South, the truth dominates. I was very good on the Air, but I never was a Coyote McCloud. Ken Dashow...ain't no Scooter Lesley. Don't take my word for it, ask the members of
The Think Tank.
 
Well,...Freqy(aka BigA Junior),...let's again see if we can pull you outta the fog. The Think Tank...(T3) is an elite group of minds that compare understandings about the business for the future benefit thereof. In order for you to qualify, you must:
Sell your Yanni CD's, Remove all those Adam Leviene posters from your bedroom wall, and lay-off the Diet Peach Wine Coolers.
Here, we'll toss you a bone...see if you can answer this one: Why is it that Michael Jackson's alleged children only resemble him, after all the bleaching, and plastic surgery?........He-He-Heeeeee!
 
MORE?...Sheeeeeeeeh,...I,...sometimes, can't believe what I'm hearing. Yes, more bullet holes in Radio Credibility:
Again, I ask...who allowed that 12-year old to work Afternoons on MY 102? Even...Lee Press-on Chest Hairs...wouldn't help!
Now, WROQ has peed on their own...Dignity(if they still had any)..."From the...HARDEES Studio"???? You placed a header on your own Broadcast Studio? Who needs their ass kicked here? What GM or PD would allow this?? At the "BI-LO" Center, we have the "Crown Nissan Ticket Window", just to the left of the "Charter Communications" enterance....the "Tidy Bowl" toilets, the "Viagra" urnials, the "Tums" food court, and the "Mary Kay/Always Tampons" mirrors! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
WROQ, don't award...value-added Horse Manure. Make them pay for it! No wonder you're in money trouble! How much are they paying$$$$ for that? Sell them the bottom of the hour ID, but that has to be Revenue! This is Radio, not NASCAR!
The HARDEES studio? Where did you put the deep-fryer? Right beside the Processor? Does the PC double as a Bun Warmer? Look at all the damn biscuit flour on the floor...fire that old woman intern! Is that post notes on the console or is it that yellow-rubbery-folded thing that they call...an Egg???? All Announcers have to wear hairnets under your headphones....here a Two-For-Tuesday double shot,...and would you like fries with that? Dissssssssssssss-scrace-ful!!!!!!! SO, WHO'S FALT...IS IT?
 
Recently, Channel 4 did a piece on the remodeling of The BI-LO Center.
The story also addressed that the header rights were about up, and they would be searching for $$$$$$$$$$$$ to re-name it....
The ________ Center. I suggested...Hardees!...but they need to call ROQ, and see if they wouldn't mind sharing their studio moniker.
Maybe ROQ might re-model their playlist,...and The BI-LO Center will do something about those $14 hotdogs, that don't have chilli.
 
Yeah that is what gets me about these new fangled idiots in town who try to sell hotdogs without chili. I mean what the hell, this is the south, we have chili on our dogs. Those vendors need to go up north and get out of the south. Cook Out is no exception either and they were founded in the south, they should know better! They charge extra for chili, geez! I called their corporate and told them what dumbasses they were being founded in the south and acting as if they were from the North with no chili hotdogs. I think we've been invaded by nutbags around here anymore.
 
My great-aunt owned a hot dog stand up north and she always included chili. And diced onions! They call it "all dressed" and it's no extra charge. You need chili to keep warm when the blizzards strike.
 
Well that's the first time I've heard of people in the north selling hotdogs with Chili but more power to them, it just tastes better!
