North Shore Sunday article on "shock jocks" (note tie ins to regs on this board)

Not posted online yet but you can pick up a free copy of North Shore Sunday and read Varulven's article
on "shock jocks". I am quoted along with Keating Willcox (WNSH), Jeff Kline (WLYN), Kimberly Jaeger (WZLX)
and Little Walter (WODS)

With me giving Varulven permission, I basically told him what I said here.

Bob Nelson is a blues DJ on Salem State College's WMWM. He's passionate about radio
and worries about where it seems to be headed.

"While we shouldn't be totally in fear of saying something that might offend someone else,
we also should try to respect people's feelings, etc.," said Nelson. "We should try to avoid
racism, sexism, and so on. It's a tough call in this world where big media conglomerates hire people
to be provocative...and then recoil in horror when they actually are. It's a slippery slope between being too
cautious and not cautious enough."

again I don't think the article is online yet but it should be soon.

The story is not the original two-parter I wrote, Bob as they wanted to get it in this week, so some of the material is on the cutting room floor. C'est la vie - I'll post it as soon as it is up...I was up all night finishing other articles like a piece on the STOP THE WAR COALITION DVD with Brian Eno, things of that nature. Have been sitting here waiting for Comcast all day...they are the worst...11-1 pm (it was originally Sunday but Comcast blew it off and changed it to today, now it is 2-4...) we can do an entire thread on Comcast if Radio-Info creates a telephone page...

Last week, radio talk show host Michael Savage was in the middle of his evening broadcast when he asked his producer to “Play the swish” as a lead in to the Johnny Mathis song, “Chances Are.” Savage then launched into an anti-gay rant that might have reminded some listeners that the manically conservative host was fired a few years for suggesting that one of his callers was a sodomite who should, “Get AIDS and die.”
