That would be KBBL.

I stand corrected. :^)

Geez...Bloodrock's DOA...

Let's go back to 1975. My buddy John and I are 14 years old, hanging out at our older friend's basement with a bunch of people, our first taste of the stoner scene.

Someone says "You gotta hear this", and puts DOA on and turns out the lights. To this DAY I'll never forget how freaked out I was by that song. I think my childhood ended that night. My friend John said later he wanted to cry.

Easily the sickest song to ever hit the Top 40. Still creepy today.

Good analysis. Original?

Well, it's "original," but the idea came together after years of comments and discussion on FR, so I can't really say that it's completely my idea.

Is it still off the air? Inquiring minds want to know...

[tdadams]

I pretty certain it is. From the sound of it, neither side is listening to the other and it's headed for a pretty protracted court decision.

Err America: Day 14

Host (Al Franken): Okay, we're back. Still hate Bush?

Co-Host (Katherine Lanpher): Oh yeah. You?

Host: You bet.

[pregnant pause]

Host: Well, let's...uh...let's take some calls. Caller number 1, you there?

Caller: Yeah, I wanna talk about hating Bush?

Host: Go right ahead. Do you hate Bush?

Caller: Yep, I hate him.

[pregnant pause]

Host: Tell us about it.

Co-Host: Yeah, caller, tell us about it.

Caller: Well, it's just George Bush....I hate 'em....

Co-Host: Oh, me too...[crosstalk]

Host: I hate Bush so much....

Co-Host: ...I hate 'em.

Host: Caller, how much do you hate Bush?

Caller: A lot.....I hate him a lot....

Host: Well, er, let's...uh...let's take another call. Caller number 2, you there?

Caller: Yeah man, do you have Prince Albert in a can?

[pregnant pause]

Host: er, no, this is a radio talk show.

[pregnant pause]

Caller: Oh. ... Can you page Mike Hunt?

[pregnant pause]

Host: Don't you want to tell us how much you hate Bush?

Caller: No man, I love bush. I get bush all the time. You think I'm some sort of fag?

[pregnant pause]

Host: Well, er, let's...uh...let's take another call.

Co-Host: There are no other callers on the line yet.

Host: er, um, ... what should we talk about while we wait for another caller?

Co-Host: How about Bush? I hate him.

Host: Oh, me too...[crosstalk]

Do you have a "That's all Folks" Bugs Bunny type overlay for the Franken picture?

[antiRepublicrat]

I still find it strange that they named their show after something I know they would, as liberals, vehemently oppose.

WHERE IS THAT 'DEATH WATCH' THREAD ON THIS??? I THINK I WON

[Libertina]

Geez, the left can't even err air a radio program without getting the courts involved!

[Libertina]

Really funny... I haven't heard Err America yet, but I suspect you've got the "meaty" parts down ;) LOL

[EDINVA]

I've heard the "contractual problems" related more to a bounced check .... despite claims of the two young gentlemen who front as the owners that they could go years without having to worry about audience/ad revenues

[lawgirl]

Just what I was thinking LOL!

[Democratshavenobrains]

From DU:

"We actually love it because we love the truth and intelligence. Nobody has to pay us to sit there and listen."

Yeah, all 7 of you.

[apprentice]

not only is Air America Radio off the air in Chicago, but they replaced it with a program that is in Japanese...

Go figure.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Updating...
JUDGE ORDERS 'AIR AMERICA' BACK ON IN CHICAGO...

Isn't that a 100,000 milliamps?
