No! As long as we have Consultants there will always be Auditorium Music Tests. Just because we hav-unt had one here in the GSP in awhile dunt mean they are gone! ...and now, storytime with Uncle Scooter: Over my shoulder, at a backward PH glance, I remember it well. The curculated memo was poked in everyone's mailslot, stating that the new Consultant was coming in Tuesday, and we should all tidy-up our cubicals. Needless to say, how fast I heeded those instructions. I had seen his picture in the trades; just another pencilneck! He was going to be here for 2-days, and wanted us to put him up in the Hyatt, but thanks to a tight owner, he had to lodge at the Confort Inn, where we had trade. This Boob was flying in to tell us how to perform better on the air, and had (a tree kill) the results from a music test, in towe. A few years earlier, I had purchased a stretched limo, to hall celebs to the station for interviews. The Consultant wanted my intern to pick him up at the airport in the limo. My intern said that the limo would not start...and with the coil wire missing, I understood. So, I had Steve pick him up in the old red utility van...the one with all the paint cans in the back. When he arrived, the results of the music test rolled down the hall on a handtruck. Boldly, he spout to have been through every page, and this data will drastically improve your TSL.
Just alotta boastful fodder from someone that don't know Shit from Apple Butter! He continued to rant "test me"...I know trivia as well. So, with my intern as my audience of one, I began my fun. For the first two or three, I rigged them with answers that any musichead would know. Then, I gave Steve the eye, and said so how did "Money" by Pink Floyd test? Much like last time, quite well. "Born In The USA"? Yeah,...real good. How 'bout Bob Seger's "Detroit Saturday Night"? Uhhh,...That didn't test well! Man, you are sharp! Come on, Steve we can't compete with him. My young interned turned, and squinted, as he asked...I don't get it. Seger does not have a song by that title!
