Holy War
A couple of calls rolled in as they always do " shut up and play music". It is always the same people or so it seems. They wouldn't want me to just talk about music if I was "on" their side. The problem is I'm not. There is also another problem. Someone has to start talking about what is going on in the world. We are, in these United States , in the early stages of a Holy War. People may think I'm exaggerating. I don't see it that way.
I see it as something very real and very scary. We are so set on showing tolerance to other peoples views and beliefs that we are letting them run right over us. This happens in other countries. Fundamentalists end up in controlling power and things don't usually turn out very well.
I know. I know. You are thinking this guy has finally lost it. Before you stop reading take a look at some headlines that have surfaced in the recent past.
Judge Greer in Florida needs armed body guards.
Jeb Bush sent state law enforcement officers to seize Terri Shiavo from Hospice. He called it off when he found out it would be cop against cop in the streets of Florida.
Teachers are being pressured (forced) to teach creationism in schools.
Books are being banned in libraries.
Pharmacists are refusing to fill prescriptions for birth control because they don't believe in it.
There will be vote in our own back yard in a couple of days to discriminate against people. The discrimination is based on Religion.
We must speak our minds.
"I believe today that my conduct is in accordance
with the will of the Almighty Creator."
[Adolph Hitler, _Mein Kampf_, pp. 46]
"This human world of ours would be inconceivable without
the practical existence of a religious belief."
[Adolph Hitler, _Mein Kampf_, pp.152]
"What we have to fight for...is the freedom and independence
of the fatherland, so that our people may be enabled to fulfill
the mission assigned to it by the Creator."
[Adolph Hitler, _Mein Kampf_, pp. 125]

I speak to the kids! They hate me! They are also real dumb.
Getting ready to go the casino. I decided to check my email. I got into a little conversation with a young man on AIM. He had a Limp Bizkit buddy icon. I knew it would not go well.

LazloTheBuzz: I'm not sure I understand your statement. Is that a line from "Rollin"?

LazloTheBuzz: We were really focusing on the lowest common denominator. We really tried to get people like you to listen. We have since changed our ways.
Levy098765: dude
Levy098765: i can't beielive it's actually you
LazloTheBuzz: So you are just one of the stragglers. It is only sensible that you would be angry.
Levy098765: ummm, 96.5 kinda blows, the only reason i've ever listened to it is becuase of love line, which 96.5 is so cheap and has to play reruns

Hannity And Schiavo!!!!
So I have been following this case pretty close. She is the lady in Florida who is being kept alive by a feeding tube. The problem with this case seems to be that the Husband and the Parents can't come to an agreement as to what should happen. The husband would like to remove the feeding tube and let her go. The parents want to keep her on the feeding tube and pray that she recovers.
Here is where I get confused. Shouldn't the decision be between husband and wife? At some point don't your parents give up the right to control you? Doesn't that responsibility move over to the person you decide to marry? I mean marriage is an important part of American culture and the base of America? It is so important we are willing to defend the sanctity of marriage through constitutional amendments not allowing everyone to do it. Yet this ohhh so very important institution is not meaningful enough for people to make the ultimate decisions for each other. It seems a little hypocritical.
I also get confused when we talk about Stem Cell Research. Now if I'm correct we put limits on this type of research because we don't want to play God. Is a feeding tube to keep people alive the work of God? If we ask ourselves what would Jesus do? Can we answer that question by removing the feeding tube.
Do we not have the best Medical Care in the world? We have it so good and the Doctors are so good that we can't even contemplate national health care. Please, if we had national health care the doctors would be awful. They wouldn't care about the patients. People would be kicking the bucket in the streets. Thank God we have a private health care system where the Doctors only do what is best for the patient. That is why I was curious why the Government would get involved in the medical practice of these fine Doctors. I sure hope we don't go the route of National Health Care controlled by the Government.
I watched all the debates on this topic. Seemed to me that people used this topic to push along their personal agendas and set themselves up to grab a couple of extra votes.
I did hear something from one gentleman I had not heard speak before.
"Everyone can understand and feels compassion and perhaps some empathy with the parents of Ms. Schiavo," said Representative James P. Moran, Democrat of Virginia. "But they have to ask themselves, in this situation, would they want this to be so nationally publicized, to have politicians get into the most intimate anguishing details of a family's situation? In many ways they become political pawns to a larger political issue."
You, Mr. Moran just got my vote.

St. Pat!
Pagan:
1 : HEATHEN 1; especially : a follower of a polytheistic religion (as in ancient Rome)
2 : one who has little or no religion and who delights in sensual pleasures and material goods : an irreligious or hedonistic person
I bring this up on St. Patrick's day for one simple reason. We finally got one back.
See most people don't care about the meaning of St. Patrick's day or where the history cane from but the story is pretty interesting.
The story is long and mostly filled with Bullshit. There were no snakes and nobody rose from the dead. St. Patrick was a reformed Pagan (born again) who was given the job of Bishop Of Ireland. He felt it was his duty turn Pagans into Christians.
He was arrested several times but escaped each time. He set up monasteries and built a following and was quite successful in pushing the Christian agenda on his fellow countrymen.
He died on March 17 in AD 461. Viola!! St. Patrick's Day.
How shall we celebrate St Patrick's day? Tons of Green Beer. Parades and drunken screaming and yelling! Screwing and fighting. Fucking and puking. Skipping work and getting loaded! Beer Bongs and green plastic hats. Drunken midgets and hot girls all hopped up on Bushmills! The entire time looking for a pot o gold!
I don't think anybody will be rolling out of bed at 6 a.m. to go to church. I'm betting a shit ton of people will meet Afentra at The Hurricane for an Irish Coffee and a bowl of Lucky Charms!
The Christians may have gotten away with Christmas and Easter but you gotta hand it to the Pagans on this one!
Somewhere St. Pat is rolling over in his grave or perhaps he is getting ready to shotgun a Killians Red and try to kiss some strange chick....just because she is Irish!

Breaking News!
Having a smoke and listening to the radio this morning. I decided to do what I normally do and browse the N.Y. Times. Seems like Kansas and or Kansas City has been making the news lately.
This morning was no exception. Except that I got violently ill. I fucking wanted to puke in the trash can in my office. I am disgusted with America and Americans.
Before you start calling me a liberal who blames America first.....Please read this story.
http://nytimes.com/2005/03/13/politics/13covert.html?hp&ex=1110776400&en=c0b6bad84e5bf46a&ei=5094&partner=homepage
Where the fuck is the voice of dissent? Where are the members of the press who want to give you the TRUTH????? Working to uncover stories?
We not only need a Free Press. We need one that cares about America and not the all mighty dollar. It started with "News" stations telling us they report it...We decide. "News" stations on the radio putting anything but news people on the air. Everything slowly became "opinion" radio. I'm all for that. I usually have opinions and not facts. I just don't use the word "news" in my show.
This is state sponsored propaganda. It needs to be punished. It needs to stop.
This country had been mislead and it is being run by a criminal who will stop at nothing to remain in power. That my friends is not opinion. That is a fact.
Stars And Stripes Of Corruption
by Dead Kennedy's
Finally got to Washington in the middle of the night
I couldn't wait
I headed straight for the Capitol Mall
My heart began to pound
Yahoo! It really exists
The American International Pictures logo
I looked up at that Capitol Building
Couldn't help but wonder why
I felt like saying "Hello, old friend"
Walked up the hill to touch it
Then I unzipped my pants
And pissed on it when nobody was looking
Like a great eternal Klansman
With his two flashing red eyes
Turn around he's always watching
The Washington Monument pricks the sky
With flags like pubic hair ringed 'round the bottom
The symbols of our heritage
Lit up proudly in the night
Somehow fits to see the homeless people
Passed out on the lawn
So this is where it happens
The power games and bribes
All lobbying for a piece of ass
Of the stars and stripes of corruption
Makes me feel so ashamed
To be an American
When we're too stuck up to learn from our mistakes
Trying to start another Viet Nam
Whilke fiddling while Rome burns at home
The Boss says, "You're laid off, blame the Japanese"
"America's back," alright
At the game it plays the worst
Strip mining the world like a slave plantation
No wonder others hate us
And the Hitlers we handpick
To bleed their people dry
For our evil empire
The drug we're fed
To make us like it
Is God and country with a band?
People we know who should know better
Howl, "America riles. Let's go to war!"
Business scams are what's worth dying for
Are the Soviets our worst enemy?
We're destroying ourselves instead
Who cares about our civil rights
As long as I get paid?
The blind Me-Generation
Doesn't care if life's a lie
So easily used, so proud to enforce
The stars and stripes of corruption
Let's bring it all down!
Let's bring it all down!
Let's bring it all down!
Tell me who's the real patriots
The Archie Bunker slobs waving flags?
Or the people with the guts to work
For some real change
Rednecks and bombs don't make us strong
We loot the world
Yet we can't even feed ourselves
Our real test of strength is caring
Not the toys of war we sell the world
Just carry on, thankful to be farmed like worms
Old glory for a blanket
As you suck on your thumbs
Real freedom scares you
'Cause it means responsibility
So you chicken out and threaten me
Saying, "Love it or leave it"
I'll get beat up if I criticize it
You say you'll fight to the death
To save your useless flag
If you want a banana republic that bad
Why don't you go move to one
But what can just one of us do?
Against all that money and power
Trying to crush us into roaches?
We won't destroy society in a day
Until we change ourselves first
From the inside out
We can start by not lying so much
And treating other people like dirt
It's easy not to base our lives
On how much we can scam
You know it feels good to lift that monkey off our backs
I'm thankful I live in a place
Where I can say the things I do
Without being taken out and shot
So I'm on guard against the goons
Trying to take my rights away
We've got to rise above the need for cops and laws
Let kids learn communication
Instead of schools pushing competition
How about more art and theaters instead of sports?
People will always do drugs
Let's legalize them
Crime drops when the mob can't price them
Budget's in the red?
Let's tax religion
No one will do it for us
We'll just have to fix ourselves
Honesty ain't all that hard
Just put Rambo back inside your pants
Causing trouble for the system is much more fun
Thanks for the toilet paper
Your flag is meaningless to me
Look around, we're all people
Who needs countries anyway?
Our land, I love it too
I think I love it more than you
I care enough to fight
The stars and stripes of corruption
Let's bring it all down!
If we don't try
If we just lie
If we can't find
A way to do it better than this
Who will?

Juiced
I like to pick up Baseball books right before Spring Training. Something about Baseball that can instantly return someone to innocence. The sounds of the ballpark. The sights. The smells. It makes me think back to great days at the ballpark with my Dad. Little did I know all the players were on steroids and they had balls tinier than mine, at age 7.
Jose Canseco takes a stab at writing a book and does a pretty good job of it. He talks about how he could of banged Madonna but didn't. How George Bush was aware he took steroids when he worked for him in Texas and how he was shocked George would make a big deal about it now.
O.k. So maybe I should be reading better literature but this is a pretty fun read. It is like the E Entertainment for sports fans. A gruesome car wreck that you can't turn your head from.
He even admits in the book that the steroids made his balls shrink. If a guy is going to admit that to earn a buck, count me in. I'm buying!
Baseball the great American past time!

Contract Time!
So I have been trying to keep you guys informed on what is going on with my contract and where I will be next year.
I'm happy to say I signed a two year deal on Friday and I will be staying in Kansas City.
There were some other offers and some that I really entertained. One of them was in a pretty big Blue state. I know this is weird but I kept going to a quick conversation that me and Chronic had at a Freeloader Friday. He said we weren't done. We still had a lot of work to do in Kansas City.
We have accomplished some things. We have stopped most of the critics. We still can make radio better. We can make it more about community and purpose and still do it with our tongue planted firmly in cheek. We can make people think. We can call people on their Bullshit when they want to regress Kansas City to the 1950's. We can continue to have opinions and push the envelope musically. In the last year we have been recognized as a station that helps breaks bands. We take chances on records that no one in the country will play. We can make a difference. If we continue to be successful we can change radio for good.
I guess what I'm trying to say is....Thanks.
