Fun 101.1

b5 thanks for pointing out some great points. I guess I am looking at things from my perspective. I can only say shame on the Marketing and Advertising folks for not being creative enough to get us old folks to come off our wallets. Like I said in my first post I am an outsider and don't know about demographics, marketing and all that stuff.

Dale, I had only one target when I made the comment about snot nosed kids. I really loved your show and hated it when it went away. I wasn't as fond of your partner. NO the one I was referring to is Matt Murphy. I hate when he spends 45 minutes of a 4 hour show whining about his head set not fitting , not sounding like he want's to, the studio temprature and on and on. I always get a picture of a kid sitting in his sand box and whinning and crying because he has sand on his sucker. I want to say "Damn, boy knock the sand off and get on with the show." I like his show and agree whith him 90 % of the time. I just have to fight that vision every time he whines! lol

I just think the real truth to keep in perspective is that in the grand scheme of things 5 years from now, who is going to care what went on at a rinky dink Mickey Mouse radio station in Birmingham Alabama. So none of this is worth getting excited about.
 
No problem I didn't take that as a shot at me. I just thought I would take a shot of my own.

Bitter about it? You bet.
 
Looks like UAB has decided to finally jump the sinking ship and they have moved over to Citadel. Any idea on which station they will be airing?
