I can't take the blather any longer!
"O&A wronged poor, poor mushmouth menino back in '98...they should be punished..."
"They had a couple doing the no no in a church, ooooohhhhh, they're such bad people"
What a bunch of NINNIES!
WE are the USA, get used to it!
"O&A are total potty mouths"
Are they?
What a bunch of boobs!! (I mean the bird, not the other).
aJEsus LIGHTEN UP!!! What O&A do is entertaining to millions of loyal fans, and is interesting to countless more casual listeners, look at their numbers!!!
Whether the radio they do is moral or immoral is not at issue.
The issue here is a mayor who's version of the English language sounds similar to the gibberish spoken by a character from the eminently hilarious "Blazing Saddles".
A man who cannot separate a gag from his so- called professional life,
and a dynamic radio team that has proven that "Down" never means "Out", and there are a vast number of people who find themselves so angered over it, so jealous of the success...
not just once, but twice, and bigger this time than ever before!
Great Radio with permission?? What complete and utter TRIPE!!!! (if I may use such saucy language).
There's an old saying:
"It is easier to beg forgiveness, than to obtain permission", let me pose a question;
Who gave the Eminent Uncle Milty the go ahead to step out on stage in the 50's in a positively garish
drag costume? Anyone want to argue this being one of the most momentous moments in broadcast history? I doubt NBC could tell him no.
Who gave Colonel John Glenn permission to fire all of the rocket motors on the second try at the 'sound barrier' when he throttled them all up and just 'went for it'?
Did the Eminent Orson Welles ask permission to scare the heck out of people nationwide into a frenzy with his groundbreaking "War of the Worlds"?
No.
These events, though unconnected, were all ground breaking.
To the generation O&A are targeted, their show is what we need and what we want.
I grew up on stations like KMET, KLOS, KROQ, KISW, KZOK, and others, I had grown so tired of the same old stuff, those who were so scared of the bosses, scared of the minority, scared of offending anyone. Offending someone is more fun and entertaining to me than the baby food on the air over the last ten years or more.
These guys are a breath of fresh air, what they do is irreverant and offensive, they do an honest show. I don't care if they offend people, if you don't like the show, dummy, don't listen!
I was in Desert Storm, I deserve to listen to whatever I want. If I feel they are funny and if they make fun of some group of people, or a specific mushmouth, GOOD!
People in this country have forgotten how to grow some skin, how to take a joke, and the people who pay are the ones who least owe the debt.
So you people can have your opinions, mine is the mayor of Boston is a stuffy old self important piece of canine digestive by-product.
If he cannot take a joke, apply a right-hand threaded fastener to him.
If this shoe fits you as well, please accept my cordial invitation to apply one to yourself also.
FRRRRRRUNKUS!!!!!!!
