LAV who?
Re: LAV who?
It’s pretty apparent that the Steve Gorman show (from Westwood One, a division of Cumulus) is being forced by Cumulus corporate onto every classic rock station they have. They dropped the popular Alice Cooper show on Saginaw’s Wheelz 104.5 for this. Haven’t listened to Gorman but Alice had some interesting moments...

In life when I have decisions to make I always think to myself, What Would Scott Hall Do?
Then I buy a bunch of cheap booze and drink myself to sleep.

You couldn't FORCE me at gunpoint to work for those morons.
I confirm all my information through a high, white whore's souse!
Re: LAV who?
One break was all that was needed. Can someone work with her? She talks at you not to you. This is justifying her salary on Hot FM not because she's "just that good." Whoever wrote the press release had to be cringing. It will not last. Putting in someone who is not seasoned and screams into the mic is not going to solve the issues that WLAV faces. This is short of a travesty. What an insult to the listeners.
