The Conversation

It seems to be part of the human nature to place you
under conditions. People are so free to tell someone
else they can't have this or that, or shouldn't do
something because its wrong and they give you hundreds
of reason that all wear the labels of belief (their
belief). The facts you've presented to them don’t
stack up to any more than a meaningless whisper of
the wind. Even if you put it in writing, they couldn’t
see it, or wouldn’t see it.

Back a few weeks ago, I was talking with my nephew.
The subject was talk radio, local AM broadcasting was
his bag. I made a comment about the best radio was
not on any local daytime stations schedule. He stated
he had listened to Coast To Coast AM himself. Which,
revealed to me his ambition to explore the Internet
broadcasting. I said that’s not the only one, and
began to name over a few in trying to point him in
the right direction – which would be away from all of
that political and sports stuff.

He asked what I had against sports. So I told him,
“Nothing unless you try to peddle it off on me.”
I said, “The biggest things I have against sportscast
are; if we did have an attack or invasion, half the
country would have their eyes glued to a boob-tube to
see who won what. They would never see the attack tak-
ing place till the bullets flew around them. The next
thing I have against them is, while they may be enter-
taining, the are not at all educational. But then
neither is constantly listening music to nothing but
music.”

It is funny, have you noticed when you've handed some-
one logical reasons at point blank range, it still
goes right over their heads? He thought I was speaking
up against the talk master himself, or good ole Rush.
I didn’t mention either name, I simply stated I listen
to broadcasting you don’t hear on local stations – and
you are not likely to hear it, its too plain for them.

He asked what I did listen too. He couldn’t get the
bananas out of his ears, I had already told him. Next
time I’ll write it down and hand it to him in person.
Or, I could give him the link to my Blog.

The fact is, I don’t listen to radio host that can’t
seem to talk about anything except politics, sports,
or those happy with degrading other people. When
WSB 750AM, WGST 640AM or some of those other stations
start airing Kevin Smith, Marshall Masters, Rob
McConnell, or Brooks Agnew – then the stations will
have my attention. I seriously doubt they will till
then.

After our conversation had ended, he probably didn’t
recall a single name I mentioned. So, I guess my next
step will be to make up business cards listing the
programs with the webpage addresses.
