Re: Big Pipes
Pipes, I believe he thinks you are me as yes I do know J.D. My name is Mike and I am from L.A.
Being that you hide behind a screen name (coward) and your advice has not been asked for KIIS off. To answer your previous post, I don't want or need a job. I have pissed off several people in vegas, because they were weenies like you. If I can intimidate you then you are not worth my time. I have and you are not! Yes I have been to the top of Radio and it's alot different at the top. No weenies. There is more scared little egos in vegas than I ever encountered in Los Angeles radio & V/O for 30 years. Craig you are a fool.
