Ya know, if they can’t even get airplay in their own town, maybe they don’t belong in the R&RHOF.

if that Hall of Fame was based on airplay only, it wouldn't be worth anything.

Let's face it. A lot of the listeners probably don't even know who the MC5 are or were. It's not like they had a ton of hits. They were known for one song. That's why you frame it. Talk into it, Talk out of it. Say why you did it. It's a historic moment. Listeners do like to be surprised sometimes....

All in all a great show! The coordination of the station with the remote production company seemed to be quite seamless. The staging, shots, and direction were top quality -- an obvious product of intense rehearsal. I especially liked the tribute to Bob Seger! One problem, however, which was terrib...

Hey, just checking in to see if any of Detroit's rock stations, who constantly boast about their pride with being involved with Detroit, played the new MC5 song today. You know, just to say "Hey, first new album in 53 years, here's a 3 minute taste". My guess is that answer would probably be no. Tha...

It should be brought back. It should never be forgotten. Not saying he was a great guy, but he didn't deserve to die for not opening up his hand. Absolute brutality. We're lucky we didn't have riots over it. I know it's hard for cops and they didn't have tasers back then, but that response was far t...

One AM station in this book. (.3 isn't worth mentioning). I remember when WLUP 1000 had more listeners in GR than a .3 share.

Some cars don't even have AM radios anymore, right?

:blink i cant remember the last time 95.7 got lower than 100.5 since the w blight days, A Variety hits type format like 106.5 in Kalamazoo is what I would like for 95.7 How the hell does the Ghetto rap music peashooter 104.9 get a 0.5% higher share than 100kw 107.3 on country in deep red west michig...

Just wanted to pitch in and say that 107one is definitely my favorite station. I live in Canton and can get it with no issues at all. It's a rare station nowadays, left alone so it can appeal to the area, and they do a great job of it. When I hear 107one, I feel like it's a last-remaining vestige o...

That would launch more lawsuits than "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve. MLB misread where media was headed and refused to listen to the warnings. They knew better. This is killing their game and their hands are so tied up in potential litigation that they can't do anything about it. If this was th...

Dan Dickerson is one of the best radio play by play guys in baseball. His mentioning of "the art of pitching" is a tribute to his former partner Jim Price. You will just find anything to bitch about around here, won't you? And yep, they get caught eating sometimes, it's called a "bad bite". Makes th...

A few years ago on a Monday night there was a tornado ripping through Dallas but the Cowboys were on Monday Night football. They were showing radar in the corner in a tiny box. They only broke away from the game at halftime for about 90 seconds. We're talking an F3 tornado ripping through heavily po...

"I call them "safe" songs but I think the reality is theyre just focus tested as being recognizable and generally liked. That means a song that to the largest audience WONT change the station if they heard it...because they know it and generally like it." Good answer...but do you know WHY they (com...

Was moving a cabinet into a van. I can do it myself but it's difficult. My Muslim neighbor - her brother sees me doing this, he comes right over, doesn't even ask, and helps me lift it into the van. Fuckin' Jihadist.

As far back as I remember the only time we've really had any religious strife it was when some right-wing Christian came to town to burn the Quran in front of the largest Mosque in the country. I begged the media not to cover him, don't give him what he wants, but they can't resist the easy story. N...

I used to live near Schaefer and Michigan and took many long walks through the neighborhoods, with their beautiful variety of bungalows. I would try to nod and smile at the ladies in the burkas, but they would look in another direction. . [/quote] Maybe they could feel the bigotry coming off you.
