Re: Movin Not Airing Legal I.D.

This just in: the SEC is investigating why Los Angeles de Pornicula radio stations are not airing the national anthem, El Grito del Guerra at midnight.

El Grito del Guerra, of course, translates either as Flight of the Bumblebees or I'll Cry for My Grits, depending on which verse is played.

The Mexican National Anthem was selected in 1854, with the winner being a piece named "Dios y Libertad" and not "El Grito de Guerra." Once selected, it is simply called the "Himno Nacional" of Mexico

But you probably knew this.

The humor about the translation is, simply, sick.

How dare anyone make fun of Mother Mexico?

Sick, sick, sick.

How could anyone make fun of a national anthem with these actual stirring lyrics:

Mexicans, at the cry of battle
prepare your swords and bridle;
and let the earth tremble at its center
at the roar of the cannon.

Oh fatherland
Your forehead shall be girded with olive garlands,
by the divine archangel of peace
For in heaven your eternal destiny
has been written by the hand of God.

But should a foreign enemy dale to
profane your land with his sole,
Think, beloved fatherland, that heaven
gave you a soldier in each son.

War, war without truce against who would attempt
to blemish the honor of the fatherland!
War, war! The patriotic banners
drench in waves
of blood.

War, war! On the mount, in the valley
The terrifying thunder of the cannon

And the echoes nobly
resound to the cries of
Union!
Liberty!

Fatherland, before your children
Become unarmed
Beneath the yoke their necks in sway,
And your countryside be watered with blood,
On blood their feet trample.

And may your temples, palaces and towers
crumble in horrid
crash,
and ruins remain
saying:
The fatherland was made of one thousand heroes.

Fatherland, fatherland, your children swear
to exhale their breath in your cause,
If the bugle in its belligerent tone
should call upon them to struggle with bravery.

For you the olive garlands!

For them a memory of glory!

For you a laurel of victory!

For them a tomb of honor!
 
Re: Movin Not Airing Legal I.D.

Yes, Mexico, that war-forged nation with the long, rich history of military might.

Who can forget the Seige of Nogales? The Cananea Copper Strike of 1917? The Battle of Tecate Sin Limon? The Free Mexican Air Force? Mexian Submarines?

How can anyone make fun of that?

Man, it must really suck to be you these days.

People pointing out your errors, your racism, your ethnic bias and your frequent, lamentable mistakes. And no KM Richard for you to go cry to.

You never answered the question. Which anthem do they play? And why does anyone who disagree with you automatically become a bigot? Why the personal attack to a simple question?

Anthiem? Nobody plays an anthem in LA anymore, and since we never sign off (KLVE has lost about 7 seconds airtime in the last 4 years), why would we anyway. That was a dumb question, and one for which you already had an answer.

I can't think of anything racist I have said, although over on the PHX board you tried to make my joke about a guy named "Ríos" which I translated into "Rivers" into some kind of racial issue. Obviously, you do not know that Josh and I play Spanglish games all the time since we worked together in San Diego. Of course, to understand bilingual humor, you would have to be bilingual or a ployglot, something needless to say you obviously are not.

You are a bigot because you have now made four or five posts ridiculing the Mexican national anthem, Mexican history and tradition. Your list of Mexican historical events which excluded the defeat of the Spanish Empire, the defeat of the Napoleonic forces and other incidents was but one example of your disparaging remarks against Hispanics and Mexicans. I suppose it is better to believe that the US forces who slaughtered the teenage students at a military academy during the American invasion of Mexico in 1848 is somehow morally superior? Both Mexico's and the US' anthem are written about the wars of independence, yet you find only the Mexican one to be fair game for ridicule (as if a translation of any poem can truly be faithful to the original).

Even your claim that we are talking about "English news radio" as if news radio in that tongue was superior to all others is patently racist and bigoted.

The only one who sees errors is you, and you can be proven as factual as the Globe. Remeber when I first challenged you on the night interference to KNX, which you insisted was a station in San Luis Potosi which, it turned out, was a daytimer? And when I proved it was La Norteníata in Cd. Obregón, you began your campaign to diss every post you could... rather troll-like behaviour, for sure.

See, you are so stupid, so wrapped up in yourself, you don't even GET the question.

The question was, which national anthem do your stations play? Obviously, the issue is not about signoffs, no one has done that for decades.

The question is, was and remains: what nation is your stations a part of? To what nation are you loyal?

A fair question, and nothing racial about it at all.

Yeah, I make fun of the Mexican national anthem. Look at the words, listen to the music. It is preposterous, ridiculous, self-indulgent and pretentious. You ever see a Mexican Army ceremonial band and no be able to bust out laughing? Not me. That anthem is almost as bad as ours, not quite. But awful.

Is that racist or irreverant? Big difference, DE, one lost upon you.

Needless to say I am not bilingual? You are correct, I am trilingual. I don't wear it on my sleeve, like someone who makes his income fracturing our nation into seperate communities, united only by a common inability to speak a common language.

How many people attended the Expo games in Puerto Rico, David? You were as factual as El Globo on that one, and that isss just the most-recent one.

You can't think of anything racist you have ever said? I'll let longtime readers just smile with the recollections of plenty of instances on the old board. Of course, all those discussions got truncated by the overactive, overprotective KM Richard.

Don't be obtuse. You are not very good at it. What you are good at is asking one question and expecting an answer to another.

You asked what anthem we played. I said we do not play any. Period.

If you want to know what country we are in, I suggest you look at who issues our instrument of authorization and who our shareholders are. We are part of an American corporation that serves Hispanics in the USA with ñprogramming designed for this group that is nearly 15% of the total population of the USA.

Since our staff, just in LA, ranges from Arab to Asian to Black to folks from half the US states and Puerto Rico and from Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Dominican Repebulic, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras, El salvador, Guatemala, Cuba and Mexico, we are simply a reflection of the diversity of cultures in the USA today... the very thing that makes the USA different from nearly every other nation in the world.

The anthem of each country... and most in this hemisphere date to the time when ties with European monarchies were severed, all share a common thread of reference to the bloody victory over the colonial power that rueled each. To make fun of the music, which was more than appropriate at the time, ore the lyrics, which reflect the emotion of liberation, reveals that you are a cynic and a misanthrope.

Personally, when I hear any nation's anthem, I reflect on what it means, not on whether it has a dance beat. And I don't find any of them to be funny.

On the Expo games, data which our news department verified, much of the attendance was not PAID. In fact, the average paid attendance, as I stated, was below 10,000 per game. PR has, since the stadiums are Commonwealth owned, not city owned (Puerto Rico has no "cities" per se anyway), a very odd situation regarding complimentary tickets. But you would have had to live there and done concert promotion to know this, something I am fairly confident you have not done. Since our folks at WKAQ have access to the real attendance data (not th ethousands of tickets that the promotor was forced to give to schools, etc) I stand by my response.

As to racist remarks, like "laughing at the national anthem" I will leave that to you.

And allow me to question that you are "trilingual." Anyone who was would refer to themselves as "polyglot" and not the absurd "trilingual" term you used.

More cynical, misanthropic music.

This time, set to the tune of the Mexican national anthem.

original lyrics:
Mexicans, at the cry of battle
prepare your swords and bridle;
and let the earth tremble at its center
at the roar of the cannon.

New lyrics:
Recuerdo, at the cry of FM
prepare your diaries and pencil;
and let the meters tremble in the ratings
at the roar of your legal ID.

Original lyrics:
Oh fatherland
Your forehead shall be girded with olive garlands,
by the divine archangel of peace
For in heaven your eternal destiny
has been written by the hand of God.

New lyrics:
Oh Recuerdo
Your rimshot shall propogate freely
by the divine archangel of spot load.
As if the divine signal from heaven
had originated from Mount Wilson herself.

KBRG is a rimshot?
KLQV is a rimshot?
KCOR-FM is a rimshot?
KKRG is a rimshot?
KLNO is a rimshot?
KOVE is a rimshot?
KBTQ is a rimshot?
KRGT is a rimshot?
KRDA is a rimshot?
KRGT is a rimshot?
KBNA is a rimshot?
Of the 13 Recuerdos, only one is a rimshot, KQMR/KOMR in Phoenix. KRCD and KRCV are not rimshots as they are way inside the market, not outside shooting in.

No, KRCD and its little hermanito are not rimshots. They aspire to be rimshots.

You see, a rimshot in commonly understood to be a suburban or distant station that hope to cover an adjacent metro area.

Your little bitty stations are inside the metro area, hoping to cover a chunk of it.

They are too small to be considered rimshots. They are more akin to little turds in a big toilet!

Oh, that was an unfair rimshot on my part.

Your proud little roster of LPFMs in LA have an effective signal that I would place one step above a good Part 15 or pirate.

But you have done very well with them. My sombrero is doffed in your direction.

------->>>> now that you have got that out of your system, the fact is that KRCD is the #4 general market station in 25-54 in LA. #1 and #2 are KSCA and KLVE, also ours. If KRCD (under which both signals are reported) has a come of 800,000 and beats every English station except KCBS-FM. It beats KOST, KRTH, KROQ, KFI, KBIG, KPWR, KIIS, etc, etc,

------->>>> the station must be doing something right or it would not be in that position.


Your proud little roster of LPFMs in LA have an effective signal that I would place one step above a good Part 15 or pirate.

------->>>>> KLVE is hardly an LPFM. It is 29 kw from Mt Wilson. And KSCA is also on Wilson, as a grandfathered superpower B.

But you have done very well with them. My sombrero is doffed in your direction.

------->>>> Most would think having three of the top 5 25-54 stations was pretty good. No other cluster has done this.
 
Re: Movin Not Airing Legal I.D.

Like I say, sombrero is doffed.

Pity they aren't billing in the top 10 ... top 20 ... top 30?

No Spanish station in LA gets over a .7 power ratio; KRCD is tracking to be about the #4 Spanish biller in LA this year. Ratios are improving as advertisers who do not use Spanish come in, and LA looks to be performing better this year. Not like Houston, where KLTN does a 1.28 ratio, or Miami where WAMR does nearly a 2 ratio, but progressing. Having a lot of bottom feeders does not help, either.
