maddog is still around but out.....

K

kd4rnc1964

hey guys:
If anybody's been wondering or even cared. Maddog is still around but give up radio all together. I got tired of the corporate hype like some of you and just split. I left around march of last year to get my life back together. Having two jobs and driving 30 miles for something I wanted to do liked to drove me crazy. Now I still have my full-time job, my own home and quite possibly a nice lady to be with I didn't have time for. Radio didn't pay what I was putting into it. I lost my confidence some time ago and didn't see getting anywhere with it. Citadel is a good company if you expect nothing and take crap from those who are too busy being "stars" and have their head up their backside. Bill Meade was a good boss and I appreciate working for him. When the automation is more important than you and the OM runs it from his home and paying you to just push buttons, It's time to get out and find something else. No hard feeling guys. Right now, companionship is more important to me than wanting to be on the radio. I'm 43 and getting too old to wait on the big break when it's not gonna be there. I'll be here to grip about what I hear on the air on the listening side this time. 12 yrs in the biz is enough for a failing industry... see ya
 
Well as I live and breath... The MaddoG has returned to these hallowed halls once again, fulfilling the prophecies as first laid out in the Rick Dees Chronicles, a mouldering old tome discovered in the sub-basement of Grimsley High School in Greensboro, NC in 1973 by a delightfully perky young sophomore co-ed named Darlene while lost in the darkened catacombs as a part of a social club hazing ritual. Armed only with a flashlight and her limited wits, Darlene stumbled across a tightly sealed crate with the ominous Grimsley "Whirli-gig" school mascot logo stenciled on the lid. Atop the lid lay a rusty old pry bar which Darlene used to pry the lid from the crate. As she strained her lithe muscles to their breaking point, at last the stubborn nails gave up their purchase in the ancient wood and let go with a screeching squeal like a thousand tortured freshman souls finally released from the first floor lockers of Hades, set loose to reek their fumbling havoc on the acne-pocked, awkward denizens of this storied intitution of higher education.
As the lid slid free and tumbled to the damp, dirt floor Darlene was assaulted by the gassy, moist stench of the ages as a noxious cloud of decay and ruin roiled up from within the crate, accompanied by a final cry from the souls of the damned as they climbed on the rising updrafts of putrification and dismay at last set free to ruin. As the last of the ghastly decay disipated, Darlene, her heart pounding in her chest like John Henry's fabled hammer, looked into the oaken box and gazed upon these things:

A half-ounce of grass, a rough draft version of a novelty song with the words "Ballroom Beaver" marked out and replaced with "Disco Duck", a WGBG employee I.D. badge, a Foghat 8-track and an envelope which contained the later-named, "Rick Dees Chronicles", a multi-paged, hand written document containing a series of prophetic musings written in quatrain verse.
These verses spoke of a wide range of future events including the advent of "goober grape" (a sandwich spread containing peanut butter and grape jelly swirled into one convenient jar), the foretelling of an Alien Life Form who will walk among earthlings consuming cats and pestering Willie on NBC and his most famous verse, "The Quatrain of MaddoG" the full text of which is as follows:
There shall come among us from the 'Ville of Greene
a MaddoG whose nayme must be spoken softe
Vast will be his scorne and wrathe for ye who
in Raydio doth continue to toil ,a pittance shall be thye prize

And so shall he depart from the Board of messages for lo many months
Yet again shall he return, the stroke of his keyboarde
Shall be as the lashing from a fork'ed tongue
Woe shall be thye garment, dismay thye wardrobe

Nine Brave warriors from Atlanta shall be the root of his message,
Forty-three horseless carriages shall he bring you on the seventh day
Each moves fast and left shall be their turn until one claims
The banner of Black and White, waved from the tower on high

Buccaneer battles shall he bring to you on Wednesdaye night and Saturdaye
The halls he will trod haunted by the voice of Sando and Meade, Helman and Overbay
Both Carays shall he channel, Skip of the drink and the younger son
Yay until he returns all those in his range to the Syndicate of Espn, on the wings of the bird

Linguistic scholars have studied these ancient texts for decades in an attempt to decode the ominous messages contained within. As yet, there remain more questions than answers.

In short,
Welcome back Mad Dog, I for one have missed you.

Coporate hype?Too busy being "stars" ? I don't understand how automation is considered corporate hype. Great post Slop Jockey. I didn't realize you still lurked these hallowed halls either. In fact, I myself have only recently began checking this board again to see if there was any truth to the rumor that the "Tennessee Midnight Rambler" was going to be teaming up with Dennis kelly for a two-man evening show on QUT??? They should really bring back that "Bud" guy though. He wasn't bad. I heard he had a drinking problem though and that he tried to file a sexual harassment suit against himself. I got that from a pretty reliable source.
 
Gerkin,
Good to hear from you again as well. How are things since the surgery? Does it still itch? Well don't scratch...it's not "lady" like. In all seriousness, how goes the new gig? Is it all you hoped it'd be and then some?
Not much new to report in regards to your vacancy. There'll be rain if the good lord wills it.
Drop me an e-mail soon.

Midnight Rambler/w Dennis Kelly? The Rambler's not even real, just a painful flashback to Adrian Cronaur and "Nam. I'm glad yuns all missed me as a tear comes to the eye. Slop talks as "pretty as a $20 dollar *****
(Blazing Saddles-ode' to Slim Pickens, now there was an actor...) Gerkin ole buddy, what up Gee! No, my beef has always been with the mighty 'TFM. Just a pitiful shell of what it used to be. My other job that pays more than pushing buttons in radio, we're forced to listen to the repetitiveness of 98.5. And I can name the next song just waiting to be played on ole' Scotty the computer. I take a bow to those of you who missed me. May your literary BS, although borrowed, may always be welcomed....MadDog....

It's good to see my name being bandied about again on this board, even if it is BS (thanks, Gerkin). And as for SlopJockey's rant....WHAT!!!???
