You didn't so much make it personal as you did about someone's supposed age. I say that because you don't really know how old the people are on here unless they tell you. I see that a lot here on the boards. If you're over 40 you are automatically thought of as some geezer. Funny thing is, you don't have to be old to not like Timmy's show.
There is an age bias in the radio industry as well. If you work at a music station and you grow out of the demos you're talking to, you are put out to pasture. If you're on a talk station and talking politics or finance you're thought of as old and stodgy. If you're young, dumb and lucky enough to get a gig you can do sloppy, mediocre work and be thought of as cool.
The MOYL reference, (a nice insult as insults go) was not only low, but a wild assumption when you consider that those in their 60's were most likely not listening to MOYL artists, but were more likely to listen to Led Zeppelin and the Stones. The 50's are way before my time, so unless Von is in his 80's, I'm thinking he's a Classic Rock guy.
Yes, working your way up isn't quite how it's done now days. Most don't go to the small town first. The cluster is automated in the small towns. The newbies want it all NOW! No dues paying in the boonies. Nope, they want want the big time, and since most PD's are young, inexperienced and told to keep the budget low, those novices can actually get gigs in the bigs. Sadly, it sounds like it too.
