This morning I became irrationally angry at the morning show guys on the radio. They are usually slightly amusing but mostly pretty idiotic and I realize that they have been hired to be radio 'personalities' rather than experts in music but ...
One of the guys is around my age and he has absolutely no working knowledge of music outside of what has been popular within the last 4 years. They read off celebrity birthdays and he never knows who anyone is outside of the young hot things and has no respect for anyone that has been in the business for longer than 10 years.
This morning they were giving away Prince tickets and this idiot states that he can't figure out why everyone wants to go see him. He said "the man hasn't put out a decent song in at least 10 years but I suppose people want to hear him do his old stuff."
It's Prince man. First of all, the man is a music icon, not only has he released a huge catalog of work but he puts on one hell of a show. Secondly, has this guy even heard the new Musicology CD? loves the new CD
It's not just the Prince thing but that set me off.
I'm still completely and totally addicted to the Swan. I can't turn it off and next week there is going to be two episodes back to back. I'm very excited.
I'm off to have a conference call with two grown men about the practicalities of a nut splitter for removing a knob. If I can keep from giggling hysterically for the entirety of the call it will be a minor miracle.
