Re: Festival of the Arts is no more

The report I heard is that they couldn't find enough volunteers. There was a staple of volunteers who were gone and they couldn't fill all the rolls.

Re: Fox 17 adding staff to morning news

Well we were all wrong. And it apparently was not truly announcing a new addition to the team. Was cool seeing Davis again. Found a link to the video on the station's website. Not sure how much it will air but it did run at least twice between 4 and 6 on Monday afternoon. That was hilarious ...

Re: Trump Shot.

Any particular reason you're posting this all in the GR forum instead of the Political forum where the actual discussion about this is taking place? You're over here talking to yourself while everyone else is in the other thread. The simple choice is to scroll by and move on with your life ...

I remember when you were a part of the KM show and it was the best version of the show.

Re: Gannett screws over award winning Holland Sentinel editor

I'd be really interested to hear you interview Barclay and confront him on the "lies" (real or imagined). That would be entertaining! ...and exactly why it wouldn't ever happen. Plus Barclay would probably hand her butt back to her on a silver platter. I'm indifferent to Barclay (never listened to ...

Re: Gannett screws over award winning Holland Sentinel editor

There is a lot more to this than you know, but certainly it should spark a conversation about local news and lack there of. No one wants to have that conversation about the state of print, tv and radio. No one. If I only have two choices on GR radio for news and information then that is a problem ...

I always enjoyed Mecklenburg. I felt bad when he had his issues and I hope he is doing well now. I met him twice and he was a genuinely nice guy.

Oh I believe it, I'm just referring to The Osbournes putting it on my radar. So when I say "it turned him into a blathering idiot", I was referencing my perception.

Re: This ought to be interesting (heavy metal alert)...

Not a H*** fan of Zakk, but he has played some epic riffs throughout his career... Absolutely. It might seem strange but I think that most of my issue with Wylde are not just the constant squealing notes as much as it is his association with modern Ozzy. While I enjoyed the show "The Osbournes" it ...
