Funny Boys

While driving my son to and from the airport yesterday I listened to the fellas on the Edge and I really shouldn't do that because it makes me jealous.

They're having a lot of fun on the Dean Blundell Show and I hope those guys appreciate the freedom they get. I know a couple of other guys who took it for granted for several years and it's a rude awakening when all of a sudden one day you have to play by the same boring rules as most of the stations at the top of the ratings.

Enjoy every minute of it boys.

I caught two great bits yesterday. The first was "Wha' Happened" which featured an intriguing story about a young girl who got out of bed stark naked and pissed in her boyfriends sock drawer. Oh yea!

And then later on I heard "Todd on the Street" and it made me want to piss in my drawers. Todd went to the Auto Show and proceeded to tell several well endowed women that they "Auto Show him their boobies."

I don't care what anybody says, that's funny shit. And any radio geek who claims it's infantile and or in poor taste is one of two things. A liar or jealous they can't do the same stuff.

Frankly, Fred - That's the kind of Dean Blundell cr*p that turned me off 102.1. I was a long-time listener of CFNY in it's glory years - Pete 'n Geets, Skot Turner and Alan Cross etc., and that includes you and Howard. Good for you for being loyal to Blundell but honestly, he's like a fart - funny at first but after a while there's nothing but a bad smell. I listen to the mighty Q now but I miss the old days of CFNY. Good luck to you, Freddiep - I check out this site every day.

These guys are one of the reasons that I stopped listening to 102.

They do what they do well but sometimes I find it almost vulgar for the sake of being vulgar and a little repetative to listen to daily and speaking of repetitive it's just too much of the same songs over and over and frankly - maybe i am getting old here - but not even I want to hear Sabotage by The Beastie Boys that early in the a.m.

I don't need to tell you that stations play too much music in the a.m.

Honestly, as much as 102 has a place in my heart when I compare our offerings to UK radio I can't ever go back.

Did catch Josh Holliday on X FM Calgary earlier and he was in good form alhough, again, they aren't offering the same variety of lat and indie rock as an X FM UK or a BBC Six either

Fred: I just discovered your blog thanks to the Lee Eckley posting about The Police.
This is great Fred. I'm adding it to my daily read. I live in California now and I'm a suit and tie guy way out of radio, but I loving reading the SOWNY radio board and keeping track of who suddenly decides to, er ah, "RETIRE".
Now, your site. All the best-Gene Valaitis

I think my original comment was a bit too harsh and that's why it dissappeared. Suffice it to say that I don't laugh when I listen to the morning crew at CFNY these days. I miss my Humble and my Fred.

Kelly - Even though I didn't see your message, I can guess what it said - and I agree with you. I gave Dean Blundell a fair chance - about a year - and I have to say, a lot of what he did and said...well...it was just plain revolting. I miss Humble and Fred too, and the classic years of CFNY music.
