The buzzboard comes up again on D and M, due to the censoring of H*** h u g e!

What is the story behind this again?

Has to be because of (name removed by request)

[Mega Hertz]

Yep. In 2006, someone shared some personal information about Mr. Simonson that was on a private e-mail source. Mr. Simonson threatened legal action if he was ever named as...that word...on this page ever again.

Kind of an honor that this board got mentioned.

Hasn't Mike been dead for years? Doesn't that make the podcast have a creepy vibe?

No. It's done to honor him. Same reason the Rockin' New Years Eve show still has Dick Clark's name on it, because they know that without his legacy, it wouldn't be what it is today.

Well stated.

Well stated.

I have a different take on it.

It Pays To Be Famous And Dead

According to the 2016 Forbes’ list of highest-earning dead celebrities, Elvis made $27 million while David Bowie made $10.5 million, John Lennon achieved $12 million, and Prince garnered $25 million. Of course, many others continue to rake in the money long after they have passed. Eight years after his death, Michael Jackson has earned approximately $825 million in that time.

Although it is just one piece of the licensing pie, which totaled $262.9 billion in terms of global licensed goods and services sales in 2016, the licensing of names and images of dead celebrities is big business. “Delebrities” were all over the 2017 Licensing Expo held May 23-25 in Las Vegas. John Wayne and Bela Lugosi even had their own booths on the show floor. Additionally, companies like CMG Worldwide, ABG, Live Nation, Beanstalk (the only major trademark company to have a division specifically devoted to deceased icons), and Epic Rights offer the rights to a wide variety of “delebrities” for licensing programs.

You must be so welcome at family gatherings and parties....

If you want to use it as a regular word, have you tried using "hewge", "huje" or "hvge"?

Does Mike's family get royalties? I suspect the podcast has SOME sort of revenue.

You really don't know how revolutionary they are to Detroit radio. Best to sit this one out.

[TC Talks]

That's true.

I remember fondly when Howard Stern thought he would come to Detroit radio and just take over the market. I believe he lasted about 2 months and left with his tail between his legs. The Drew and Mike Show will always have a soft spot in our hearts. Drew was and still mostly is exceptional. RIP Mike.

[TC Talks]

Maybe they should call it The Drew and RIP Mike Podcast...

I have similar thoughts about the way that it continues to be The Bob & Tom Show. Bob's gone.
