I told her someone (P or K) might have done business (and got a loan) from the guy. (have we already covered this subject? If we did, I is so sorry. I ken has a cheezeburger now?)

An eclectic mix? Seriously? AC/DC, followed by three Metallica/Metallica clones, followed by a Zeppelin tune. Repeat as needed. Perhaps you don't understand the meaning of "eclectic."
You need to free yourself from the Jack Black School of Rock definition of rock 'n roll. Here is a little test to help you do just that. Next time you hear a rock song close your eyes and imagine Jack Black. If, in your head, he is playing air guitar to that song then you know it is bad. If he is playing air guitar in his underwear change stations immediately. Do not take this test while operating heavy machinery.
scottythecynic said:I like The Bone and Gary Thompson. Having said that, I'm not keen on the P&K show. While I can appreciate Gary's attempt to mix talk and music, it's P&K that are souring the 2-6 pm slot, not the music. The latter is an eclectic mix of rock true enough, but one I find to be a good one.
With regard to Bone remotes, the venue changes from week to week, thus the Kingsley location is not indicative of the SOP of the show locales. Mind you, I attended the P&K show live a week ago yesterday in Frisco. Here's what I came away with.
The staff on site was their excellent selves, that is, the promo team. However, P&K (unlike all former hosts of the Bone's BITW Friday's) sat behind a table in a corner as if they were King and Queen expletive. Absolutely no attempt was made to interact with the patrons as former DJ's did. There was a distinct dichotomy between them and those who were customers.
Moreover, Ms Thang was acting bitchy because she couldn't figure out how to get her precious little laptop connected to the Internet. I overheard her hollering downline about it. And wow, I never realized how unattractive she was. Pugs on the other hand had wifey there supervising him.
Yes, I left after an hour, disappointed. Friday's with The Bone used to be a somewhat fun occasion but even that has been relegated to an experience on par with a trip to the dentist.
As for me and my house, we'll just say NO to P&K.

scottythecynic said:Wayne is being disingenous with regard to the Frisco live remote hosted by P&K. That he received tickets from Pugs I don't doubt. But what he failed to tell you was that the place looked like Galveston shorty after Ike hit, i.e., it was barren. I refused the same tickets as I had no plans to go to Austin.
Moreover, for a considerable period of time I sat there with a friend and not one person was approached by King and Queen Expletive. Someone remarked that we Texans consider that rude. For what it is worth, that's not necessarily a Texas "thing" but rather one born of common courtesy nationwide.
Just sayin'.

Albert19X said:Scotty does seem to hold a bit of personal animus regarding the P&K show. It borders on obsessive, really. The type of thing you see in unrequited love.
