September 11

V

vchimpanzee

I was surprised to hear Bob and Tom or whoever recounting the events of that day, with real people telling how they felt. Then I heard Alan Jackson's song "Where Were You" (which inspired the name of a thread on the Standards board here at http://www.radio-info.com/smf/index.php/topic,80504.0.html). I remembered that this was now The Rooster, a station I had not heard before for some reason. I have a new car and maybe the radio works differently.

But imagine my surprise to find out what this station actually does. At the time we should have been remembering the first plane (if we were going to acknowledge the day at all) I heard this (I don't remember the exact quotes, but it went something like this):

"Where can I find a woman?"

"About 200 miles away."

"That's too far."

"You can always go to see Joe."

"I don't do weird stuff."

"You'll have to take two guys with you."

"Why?"

"Because Joe don't do weird stuff neither."

Soon I was relieved to hear Billy Vaughn instead of Billy James. I thought The Rooster was going to do something to "improve" its signal (meaning I'd get less interference on my station).
 
I can't possibly be the only one reading this thread and scratching their head. It was impossible to understand any meaning at all from your post.

Bob and Tom are back on 106.1?
 
Ignoring the last paragraph on the original post which made absolutely no sense, I took it to mean that this user was disgusted with the fact that, when the broadcast station should have been remembering 9/11, they were making some lame joke on the JB&B show instead.

If so, he has a great, great point.

Firstly, it's the JB&B show. Aren't the jokes all lame? :p

Secondly, the Rooster plays JB&B on a delay because it's a country format, not rock. Therefore, if they were to be remembering 9/11 at exactly 8:46:30am, then it wouldn't make it to the Rooster until a few minutes later.

(Though unintentional, immediately prior to the second tower's fall, "Another One Bites the Dust" was played on JB&B.)

I think you are totally misremembering that story. The controversy was that "Another One Botes the Dust" was played right after they broke the news that the father/son team that had been shooting people in/around the DC area a few years back had claimed another victim. Of course, the boys and Randy claimed that the music selections on the show are random (which they are).
 
Err, uh...or some similar chain of events? :-[

Alrighty, I'll stand corrected. Did they talk about a similar snafu that day regarding 9/11? They might even have been talking about a totally different radio station.

I'm too young to be getting old. :-\

Right. If they were going to do it at all, they should have done it for the whole show, or at least they should have been more respectful.

I had almost no signal trouble this morning. I thought I was hearing what sounded like Bob and Tom on September 11, but I forgot they were gone. I heard what could have been the same voices this morning, but not for long. My station was relatively clear. No John Boy. Now, what WAS there is a different matter for a different board ...
