Here is the email!
I mentioned it on the air today. I think it's important we all read this.
Thanks Rachel for sending it!
Thought you'd like to know that eight ABC affiliates, all owned by Republican contributors, are refusing to air tonight's episode of "Nightline," which will be a tribute to the Americans who have died in Iraq. ABC affiliates owned by the Sinclair Broadcast group will preempt "The Fallen," an episode of Nightline devoted to reading the names and showing portraits of the dead.
Top executives at the Sinclair Broadcast Group have contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Bush campaign and to the Republican Party, but never to Democrats, as you can see here:

The offical explanation of the Sinclair Broadcast Group on their decision to pretend that no Americans have died in Iraq is copied and pasted below, as is a statement from ABC News and a statement from Republican Sen. John McCain protesting the Sinclair Group's boycott of Nightline. Copied & pasted text begins below the dashed line.
The Sinclair Broadcast Group can be contacted at 410-568-1500. Their CEO's e-mail address is bbutler@sbgnet.com ; their VP in charge of programming can be reached at dsmith@sbgnet.com .
Thank you,

Sinclair stations won't run "Nightline" tribute
4/29/2004 10:59:30 AM
NewsBlues.com is reporting [no free link] that Sinclair Broadcast Group has ordered its ABC-affiliated stations not to carry tomorrow's "Nightline," which will air the names and photos of soldiers who have been killed in combat in Iraq.
Sinclair General Counsel Barry Faber tells the site: "We find it to be contrary to the public interest."
The boycott will affect eight ABC-affiliated Sinclair stations.

STATEMENT OF THE SINCLAIR BROADCAST GROUP
The ABC Television network announced on Tuesday that the Friday, April 30th edition of "Nightline" will consist entirely of Ted Koppel reading aloud the names of U.S. servicemen and women killed in action in Iraq. Despite the denials by a spokeswoman for the show the action appears to be motivated by a political agenda designed to undermine the efforts of the United States in Iraq.
While the Sinclair Broadcast Group honors the memory of the brave members of the military who have sacrificed their lives in the service of our country, we do not believe such political statements should be disguised as news content. As a result, we have decided to preempt the broadcast of "Nightline" this Friday on each of our stations which air ABC programming.
We understand that our decision in this matter may be questioned by some. Before you judge our decision, however, we would ask that you first question Mr. Koppel as to why he chose to read the names of the 523 troops killed in combat in Iraq, rather than the names of the thousands of private citizens killed in terrorists attacks since and including the events of September 11, 2001. In his answer, you will find the real motivation behind his action scheduled for this Friday.
ABC NEWS STATEMENT IN RESPONSE TO SINCLAIR
We respectfully disagree with Sinclair's decision to pre-empt "Nightline's" tribute to America's fallen soldiers which will air this Friday, April 30. The Nightline broadcast is an expression of respect which simply seeks to honor those who have laid down their lives for this country. ABC News is dedicated to thoughtful and balanced coverage and reports on the events shaping our world with neither fear nor favor -- as our audience expects, deserves, and rightly demands. Contrary to the statement issued by Sinclair, which takes issue with our level of coverage of the effects of terrorism on our citizens, ABC News and all of our broadcasts, including "Nightline," have reported hundreds of stories on 9-11. Indeed, on the first anniversary of 9-11, ABC News broadcast the names of the victims of that horrific attack.
In sum, we are particularly proud of the journalism and award winning coverage ABC News has produced since September 11, 2001. ABC News will continue to report on all facets of the war in Iraq and the War on Terrorism in a manner consistent with the standards which ABC News has set for decades.

McCain Letter to Sinclair Broadcast on
Preemption of Nightline
Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) issued the
following letter today to Mr. David Smith, President and CEO of Sinclair Broadcast Group, in response to the preemption of this evening's Nightline program:
I write to strongly protest your decision to instruct Sinclair's ABC
affiliates to preempt this evening's Nightline program. I find deeply
offensive Sinclair's objection to Nightline's intention to broadcast the
names and photographs of Americans who gave their lives in service to our country in Iraq.
I supported the President's decision to go to war in Iraq, and remain a strong supporter of that decision. But every American has a responsibility to understand fully the terrible costs of war and the
extraordinary sacrifices it requires of those brave men and women who volunteer to defend the rest of us; lest we ever forget or grow
insensitive to how grave a decision it is for our government to order
Americans into combat. It is a solemn responsibility of elected
officials to accept responsibility for our decision and its consequences, and, with those who disseminate the news, to ensure that Americans are fully informed of those consequences.
There is no valid reason for Sinclair to shirk its responsibility in
what I assume is a very misguided attempt to prevent your viewers from completely appreciating the extraordinary sacrifices made on their behalf by Americans serving in Iraq. War is an awful, but sometimes necessary business. Your decision to deny your viewers an opportunity to be reminded of war's terrible costs, in all their heartbreaking detail, is a gross disservice to the public, and to the men and women of the United States Armed Forces. It is, in short, sir, unpatriotic. I hope it meets with the public opprobrium it most certainly deserves.

Rain and Other Depressing Things
Holy Shit! Could it please stop fucking raining? It's not that I hate rain. I actually like it. I lived in Key West for awhile and ended up hating that city. I have a pretty nasty disposition and constant sunshine can ruin your day when you feel like being an abrasive hateful human being . Hell its hard to even contemplate your failures as a human being when its 90 and perfect out and good looking people playing Frisbee getting stoned and pounding beers are the only things around you. These people have given up on angry a long time ago. I on the other hand have not given up being a jaded bastard. Therefore I need inclement weather. I guess because it matches my personality.
So why do I need it to stop raining? I have a car. It's a 1987 Chevy Baretta in perfect running condition. Yet it does have a couple of problems. One thing I blame on myself. A couple of years ago I was driving to work in some fucked up city. I forget where I was living at the time. I look over my shoulder and notice the rubber (foamy) matting that runs on top of the car door like a gasket between the door and the car was falling off. So in a moment of retardation I ripped it out. I figured "what possible purpose can that shit serve"? Well if you need to know. It keeps water out of your car. It may serve more than one purpose but that seems to be its major contribution to my 1987 baretta in perfect working condition. Anyway, on my way to work today I will be sitting in about a 2 inch puddle of water. My ass and drawers will get soaked. I will feel every last bit of self esteem leak from my soggy ass as I walk into work with a damp behind. No one likes to have a moist bum and low self esteem.
If you are a Sonic Youth fan the new record will not disappoint. I should be getting a new Cure single soon! C'mon. Morrissey, The Cure, Sonic Youth, all putting out new records??? Perhaps low self esteem and soggy bums will be hip soon?

Love Letters To Lazlo!
These are always fun.
Lazlo,
I would just like to express one guy's opinion. I listen to the Buzz about 50% of the time I listen to music in my car. The first time I heard Lazlo, I thought, "finally, somebody interesting to listen to on a music station." Now (a year later), I am sick of listening to his ignorant and sometimes politically correct stance on this war and the upcoming election.
I say ignorant because, obviusly, anyone with an original opinion (not derrived from hollywood or the media) would understand that our current president is the only way to deal with other threats of violence (Iraq). So what if we went in for some of the wrong reasons, the point is that the world is now a better place without a disobedient dictatorship with us as their enemy.
That being said, I am furious that the Democratic party is getting props from you and other DJ's on this station on a daily basis. If you want to give your opinion on politics, back it up with something other than a bunch of media driven B.S. I am sure there are a lot of morons out there who will wander into the voting booth and cast an invalid vote for the party of your choosing. Why? Because their heads can only ponder meaningless thoughts like, I like the BUZZ, they hate Bush, I'll vote for kerry. Sadly that will account for way more votes than it should this November, so if you care about your sponsors business, STOP ENCOURAGING MORONS TO VOTE AND START ENCOURAGING THEM TO LEARN ABOUT POLITICAL DIFFERENCES IN ALL AREAS OF CONCERN. Obviously, I disagree with a lot of Republicans' social policies, but when it comes to the economy, governments role in our daily lives (or lack of with repubs excluding our current war), taxes, and dealing with a serious threat of terrorism, I stand by Bush.
On a supportive side, I like the way Lazlo still says "gay" in reference to things that are really fake and sissy.
Speaking of Gay, half of your music is.
Best Regards,
Chris
When I wrote back that I was glad he could think for himself but thought perhaps it was odd he would be the only one of the people who listen who could perform this task and than asked him if he got any of his take from Fox News he responded with this.
Lazlo,
No, I guess I'm just a victim of rational, unbiased thought. I think Tool,
espressed it best when on Salival, they open with the phrase, "think for
yourself". Since it's ridiculous to suggest that I am not product of my
environment, I will not claim to have had no influence from the media. I
choose to think and make decisions after having reflected the pros and cons
of both opposing ideals. That is more than I can say for many of the
unrefined thoughts of bands that "Rock against Bush". Give me a band like
Tool who at least will bring forth an idea free from mass replication.
Althuogh tool may reach dissimilar conclusions, they believe in original and
self formulated ideas. Whether my opinions are in some ways similar to Fox
News, is a matter of coincidence. I have better ways of spending time and I
hope you will reflect on this and realize that you should bring to light the
negatives with the positives concerning the democratic nominee.
Last words...
Chris
With that I sent him this excerpt from an interview with Maynard from Revolver Magazine.
"...George W. Bush is an extremely evil person, and what he is doing is going to bring us down. He is going to make it very difficult for me to travel around the world because I am an American, and people will look at me in exactly the same way they used to look at Germans when they were traveling in the Fifties, right after World War II. We are living in McCarthyism, The Third Reich, and people don't even realize it.
Look at the events of September 11. The person who profited from that was the President of the United States-the same one who was not elected by the people but instead by a fault in the electoral system. His public opinion was at an all-time low, so he benefited from it. His family's oil, war, and weapons interests all benefited. And everyone was so scared that they willingly gave up their civil rights, so that if anyone discovers how evil this guy is, they can't do anything about it.
It really amazes me that the American people are just blindly letting this go on. They are not even considering the possibility that their government could be lying to them. It is absolutely nauseating."
It doesn't matter I'm sure maynard is just getting his facts from The New York Times and hasn't had an original thought in years.
Stay Golden,
Lazlo

A Morning That Drives A Drunk Crazy!
What a great day! It's like 8 a.m. I'm up drinking coffee. Perfect girlfriend weather! Crisp, kind of cold but not really. Cool enough that you could still pull off a sweatshirt.
It's got that smell in the air in this morning. That smell of innocence. Same exact weather when I got drunk for the first time. Playing Basketball at the Y. Well I didn't do it while playing basketball. I was outside with a friend of mine waiting for my mom to pick us up. A few girls who fit the description of Lou Reeds "Coney Island Baby" were in the woods. Drinking Root Beer schnapps. They invited us over. I drank half a fifth with my first ever gulp of this tasty beverage called Heaven. We ended up calling my mom telling her not to pick us up. I think it may have been the first time I ever lied to her. Well the first time of any consequence. We stayed in the woods for quite sometime. I learned about life and love from that girl and the booze that day. I remember she had Bon Jovi playing on her portable radio. I pretended to like it. Perhaps that was the true end to innocence. (Note to guys who still like Hair Bands. We were never supposed to like that music. We were supposed to lie about it. In hopes of getting to make out with a girl in a black t-shirt and stripper boots.) I never called the girl. I had a couple more dates with Root Beer schnapps.
I just put in The Replacements "All Shook Down" today is gonna be o.k.
May I suggest a swing by the liquor store today and some quality time with Paul Westerberg?

People Are Picking Up This List Thing!
Blender Magazine came out with top 50 all time worst songs. I still like starting lists with the sentence "top 5 all time" but what do I know.....Anyway here are the Top 10 according to Blender.
1. We Built This City Starship 1985
2. Achy Breaky Heart Billy Ray Cyrus 1992
3. Everybody Have Fun Tonight Wang Chung 1986
4. Rollin' Limpbizkit 2000
5. Ice Ice Baby Vanilla Ice 1990
6. The Heart of Rock & Roll Huey Lewis & The News 1984
7. Don't Worry, Be Happy Bobby McFerrin 1988
8. Party All the Time Eddie Murphy 1985
9. American Life Madonna 2003
10. Ebony and Ivory Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder 1982
A pretty good list. I usually hate other peoples lists and immediately try to correct them but you would be hard pressed to take any of those off the list without arguing semantics.
I would have to put Richard Marx's "Right Here Waiting" on that list. It's a personal thing. My first real gig was a summer stint at an A&W. Great job for a 15 year old kid. Two guys and about 20 girls in short shorts, tans and roller skates. Anyway I digress(great name for a band by the way). This guy I worked with probably 21 or so and I'm pretty sure his name was Keith (if not it fits). He had red hair and took his job a little serious. So the story goes he falls in love with one of the talented car hops. He never professes his love for her and she bangs some mid level shooter with a pseudo George Michael vibe and a nice car. Keith is heart broken. The Wham cracker and the girl are having a beer on the picnic table after work one night and that song comes on. Keith starts crying....In front of everybody. The girl he loves, George and 20 really attractive girls in roller skates. I was so embarrassed for him. It was a pathetic display of mankind and I believe a direct reflection of his pale skin and red hair. Anyway I can't hear that god damn song with out feeling sick inside. I actually made him go in the walk in freezer to cry in private. To be honest with you. I just couldn't stand to see the guy crumble to dust in front of me. I'm not sure whatever happened to Keith. The girls name was Heather Jackson and she went on to college. Boston College or some North East uppity Bullshit school. George ended up fucking just about every other girl I worked with that summer and moved to California. He married some movie producers daughter and lives in the 90210 zip.
Now that I think about it. Maybe just maybe I actually love that song! Me, Keith and Heather will always have that summer at A&W and a touching albeit awkward moment of one man coming to terms with the fact that a guy who manages an A&W at 21 probably has no shot at scoring the gorgeous car hop who has a free ride to Boston College in her hip pocket.
The lesson learned? He should have slept with the girl who was going to juco.
The Lemonheads are getting back together. What the fuck is going on?
I have had some more correspondence with Senator Roberts and I will share them with you soon.
No word on the contract yet. Still up in the air I guess. My contract is officially up and at this point I'm working with out one. I'm hoping I will have some good news by the end of the week.
Still your pal,
Lazlo
Here you go Keith!
Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
Oh can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
Waiting for you

Hey Lazlo, so I really do enjoy your show a lot and listen almost everyday. I have a bunch of gay and lesbian friends and we just so happened to be talking about your show and they are no longer listening because of the lazbians and it kinda opened my eyes to what you seem to be doing either intentionally or unintentionally but I never realized it til then. Before you had a large number of gays listening and now all of the ones I know, and I know a ton, are no longer listening so maybe you could change the way that you talk about them on the air or what not casue I would hate for your show to go down casue of that. I understand you have a huge amount of followers but still you wouldn't want to drive any amount away would you. Well I just thought you'd like to know I'm not trying to be aq bitch or anything casue I really like your show and all so have a great weekend.
love, kelly
It takes a special kind of guy to disappoint all sides!

Hi....I'm awkward!
So last night after work I stop by a bar with a couple friends. I never really just go to the bar because I don't drink. I go see shows or get some food perhaps watch a game but never really to just hang out in a bar. Anyway we go to a bar called The Point is Westport. I walk in and I see a table full of people I work with. They are celebrating someone's birthday who works at the station. The people at this party are people I work with and see everyday. I say hi. Than I start thinking......HOLY FUCKING SHIT.....I wasn't invited to this party with people I know. This after work-co-worker get together was supposed to be happening without me. They didn't invite me for a reason and how weird do I look just walking in. Like I must have heard about the party and invited myself. How fucking awful. They are trying to be nice and inviting me to sit down and shit but we all know everyone involved is feeling a little weird. Anyway I take a seat 10 feet (there aren't any further) away eat a cheese steak and watch a little of the Red Wings......The Red Wings won...I'm a loser.
Check this out.....hours and hours of fun.

My Correspondence With Senator Pat Roberts
Here is the e-mail I sent Senator Pat Roberts.
Dear Sir,
I believe putting the government in control of free speech is dangerous. Giving the government such enhanced power to fire broadcasters and artists threatens the free flow of ideas. It also opens the door to potential abuse: the government might someday decide that criticism of its policies are “indecent” and thereby hinder democratic debate.
This bill goes against true American values. The First Amendment says that freedom of speech should never be abridged. This proposed legislation is unconstitutional since it would dramatically hinder free speech by placing very strong punishments on those people who violate what the government censors consider “indecent.”
This new legislation would dramatically hinder free speech. Performers and other television personalities would self-censor for fear that their comments might later be interpreted as offensive. Likewise, broadcasters would place strong controls and restrictions on their shows. Creative content that challenges our ideas would likely be squashed as too risky.
Once again, I urge you to oppose the Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act of 2004 (S. 2056).
I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this matter.
Stay Golden,
Lazlo
Here is Senator Roberts reply.
April 14, 2004
Dear Lazlo;
Thanks for contacting me about our nation's television and radio networks
and the lack of an appropriate moral message in media.
I agree with you. Television and radio networks are becoming too reliant
on violence, vulgarity and shock as tools to secure audiences. Based on
the amount of email, mail, and phone calls I receive on this issue,
Kansans clearly don't like this trend in broadcasting. They believe the
networks have failed to uphold their public service responsibilities to
provide quality entertainment and news given that they use public airwaves
for free.
While I am a strong believer in free speech and the First Amendment, the
networks need to be mindful of the fact they are providing a public good.
Because of recent network actions that show a disregard for standards of
decency, I strongly support Senator Sam Brownback's (R-KS) bill (S. 2056)
to sharply increase the fines the Federal Communications Commission can
levy against broadcasters who transmit indecent programs. This may be the
only way to stop this trend. I expect the Senate will soon consider this
bill this year.
I share your concern that basic moral values make up the foundation of
our great nation and will continue working hard at every opportunity to
see that Congress and the federal government assists--not hinders--our
work toward that goal. Rest assured, I will keep your concerns in mind as
Congress considers legislation affecting our nation's moral fabric.
With every best wish,
Sincerely,
Pat Roberts

The Press Conference with The President was pretty interesting. I thought he really did a good job for the first 45 minutes. The last 15-20 was the comic relief we all need from George W Bush. No one and I mean no one shoots from the hip like Cowboy George.
I like the tactic of the Kerry camp. Shut up and let George talk. At this point he is Kerry's greatest P.R. man.

Contracts and such
I figure if I'm gonna do this. I may as well share my life with you. My contract is up shortly (weeks) so the push to stay or leave Kansas City is on. We shall see and I will let you know. Even if you hate me and are just surfing by to drop off a friendly fuck you e-mail. You may be interested in the updates and perhaps more so. A little over a year here. It's been a good run. I would be bull shitting you if I didn't mention that I would like to stay.
Speaking of staying or leaving.The President will hold a press conference in Prime Time Tuesday night. Should be interesting. One fact that came up. He has actually given less press conferences than any other president in modern history. He should have a lot to say.
Morrissey will be on the cover of the next Spin Magazine. He is looking pretty old. He is actually going to do an interview. I believe he has done less of those than President Bush.
Things stuck in my C.D. player.
Modest Mouse....This is my favorite record right now.
Snow Patrol.....Like Coldplay but better.
The Get Up Kids.....These guys continue to put out hooky, cool, college rock records and still get overlooked. Makes me almost as heart broken as them.
Hoobastank....Just kidding what a fucking shit record this is. Why do I like Incubus and not Hoobastank? Is the fact that I like Incubus make me gay?
Bullshit Partisian Politics aside we should all agree on this.
Go to stopfcc.com
Alright, off to reruns of Boy Meets World. (Does the fact that I like Boy Meets World make me gay? That is perhaps a better question)

Serious Sleep Issues
SO it's 5:30a.m. and I'm up. Jesus Christ what is wrong with me? I have serious sleep issues.
Things I do when I'm up at weird hours.
Watch M.S.N.B.C.
Don Imus is on right now. I don't think there is ever any reason to refer oneself as the "______" man. He keeps calling himself and the people who work with him keep referring to him as "The I Man". Hey "I Man"....I was wondering how fucking old are you?
He does this cool thing though. He starts ranting about liberals being stupid and how they are scumbags and than goes into a Simon and Garfunkel(sp?) record. That my friends is either over the top brilliant or well either way it's fucking brilliant!
Been listening to this Killers record. Talk about retro....We will never remember this band but it sounds pretty fuckin cool now.
Morrissey headlining lollapalooza...That's good news. The new single is great and the record is susposed to be better. He has actually reunited The New York Dolls to play his Meltdown festival at The Royal Albert Hall. Other bands on the bill are rumored to be The Pixies and Sonic Youth.
Lollapalooza is going to be a two day festival this time around. I have finally become part of a marketable generation I guess. The Cure (new record and tour in the works as we speak), Iggy pop and Alphaville all in current commercials.
The Beastie Boys will be touring this year and will be doing some MTV 2 Dollar Bill shows. I heard 2 singles off the new record the other day. If you like The Beastie Boys you will like this shit. No worries it's not that awful anti-war garbage they put out.
* Note to Beastie Boys. When trying to find a word that rhymes with America don't use Hysterica.*
Other records on the way that intrigue me include Weezer and Beck. Coheed and Cambria signed to Columbia records. Kids with white belts will be really excited about that.
I also heard Jonah from Onelinedrawing has signed to Atlantic Records in the form of a new band called Gratitude.
that's enough...Go to the forums and tell someone you love them!

Buy some shit from the store and help out a good cause!
The forums are still up and running spread the love and feel the love there.
Stay Golden,
lazlo
