Today is 6/6/06A week from today is probably the 60th birthday of our favorite program director.I don't see my invite to the party...darn...that invite...where is it...desk is a mess...(looks under Beatlesand Jimi Hendrix and Dave Rave cds)...nope, must've misplaced it. Oh well...Happy BirthdayMr. Program Director! Improper Bostonian might read "47 years of age"...but we know better :) :) :)
 
As a present to Eddie; why don't we all pat varulven on the head once. Maybe that'll calm him down. Jinkies! Have you ever seen someone so starved for attention this side of Ann Coulter?
 
calm down lucy and take your meds. You know that's a funny one - but it's your post that really is the appetizer for Dr. Melfi's couch.
 
I should have known you'd hit me back with a zinger. 'take your meds'! That's funny, funny stuff. Didn't you used to write for Full House? If not, you've missed your call, Mr. Wacky Zing-master.
 
actually, if you're talking about Oedipus, 47 may be low... I seem to recall he was on WTBS in '78 and that would have made him 19 at the time. I wonder if he was 19 then? but it doesn't really matter... who cares? Lemmy from Motorhead is 60 and still kicks ass.
 
Here it is, his age is his business but to obsess on it as Varulven (what the hell does that mean for anyway? what sort of name is that for anything?) does is just sad considering that they're both living in the same general chronological neighborhood. The only numbers you need remember Joe, are that he has proven himself to be a million times more influential in the American rock lexicon than most ( most meaning YOU) and his net worth is easily a trillion times that of your own. There are the numbers that count my friend, I anxiously await your tired and far from lively retort.
 
Doesn't Valaline sound more and more like a jilted ex that just won't move on. I wonder if it was unrequianted love or if there is a juicey story there? ???
 
Oh please, "influential", you mean winning a free car because he could "guess" what the hits would bebecause he knew which records the Radio Stations were being "influenced" to play across the U.S.A.I'm not saying Mr Program Director indulged in the topic of Eliot Spitzer's investigation (to say it again would be redundant) - but we know that he knew which records the labels wanted played...thus, that free car the Track Gals mentioned he got didn't come from his being psychic. It came from being influenced, not influential.True, he is worth a lot more $$$ than me, because I actually work for a living - writing - and - believe it ornot, Nik, the pen is mightier than the who...I can sleep at night getting paid per word - or to quote a local publisher - I don't get enough promo copies to buy a mansion in Dover!And by the way, the new duo on WBCN will get numbers without Howard Stern. You had the benefit ofhaving Stern on in the morning - you never seem to mention how important that was to your success,such as it was. I remember when Harvey Wharfield (like Howie Carr) had to get great ratings while havingreal turkey morning shows. I don't think you would've been able to be as successful as they were and areon ZLX and RKO while having some anchor of a morning show dragging you down.So let's see how http://www.myspace.com/toucherandrich do on WBCN without the benefit that Nik had,the monster #s of Howard Stern.
 
naah, Lucy Lu - at a Lou Reed show Mr. Program Director was actually pushed into my chest by the crowdas he was trying to leave. I was standing with the other rock critics against the wall a couple of steps up at Avalon and Mr. P.D. was there in my face...literally. I looked down and said "Hi there Big Boy" - Here's a link from The Noisehttp://www.thenoise-boston.com/gossip/235.aspEVER SEE A GHOST OR MONSTER?OEDIPUS (WBCN): Monster: I once encountered Joe Viglione at a Lou Reed concert.(more like Oedi came crashing into me at a Lou Reed concert. I'm still pulling the hair club for men residue out of my shirt!)p.s. Nik, Varulven means Werewolf in Norwegian. Didn't you ever take other languages in kindergarten?
 
OH I know........... I only went to a private school in Cambridge, I guess I was out sick the day tthey taught "werewolf" in the dialect of Norway, in my Cambridge Massachuusetts school where later in life such knowledge would have been so handy had I decided to form a record label which would be doomed to abject failure,. Anyway you slice it as a name for a label it's crap, not even pretentious as much as just stupid,....much like the lyrics to a song that goes " want you metaphyiscally, want you secually...."[EDIT=unnecessary vulgarity]
 
"Nothing like a _hit, nothing like a _hit..."Yeesh.
 
Awful..granted it was the 80's but still, just banal and laughably un rock!
 
more people are listening to There's Nothing Like A Hit than currently listen to Nik Carter. I know that's not saying much for my song, but we still have the audience that Nik craves. Have a new version for the birthday party next week but...darn...can't find the invite...where the heck did I put it...
 
With statements like this you wonder why no one takes you seriously?. It's one thing to be insane but even some crazy people have credibility when they speak!. By the way Smoke was the one who brought up that stupid song, dont blame me because you wrote a wack tune that no one;A. bought..B. Cares about. C, Remembers.D. Liked Hell, I only know about it because you posted the link to the mp3's here!." want you metaphsyically, want you sexually, ............want to be taken seriously".....................BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! "AWFUL, IT STINKS" 8)
 
"Consider the source" is what your predecessor said regarding ANYTHING you say.If the song is as you say it is (and we consider the source - a d.j. that got booted and never had the chance to play and choose music ANYWAY)...it must really drive you bonkers that more people listen to it right now than listen to you. Man that must drive you up the wall...because you keep writing about it - even when using your pseudonym of water/smoke/iceI got another song you'll just lovewith his pointy little nose he looks like the wicked witch/throw a bucket of water and melt the little b..../he doesn't know the difference between Sonny or Henry Rollins/he ran that modern rock station like a second rate Joan Collins/Look at the ratings, no more bass, no more treble/a failed ex-Photographer, the rock is now a pebble/Mr. Program Director/Mr. Program DirectorHe looked silly at that art show dressed in purple with Ron Woodhe stutters when he's on the air/he just ain't any goodwe were oh so very happy Hannon drove him out of townnow he's in the circus/he's an excellent clownMr. Program Director/Mr. Program Director
