Profession Guilty Pleasure

Recommended Posts

I worked at a Radio station for 5 years Rex. It broke my radio spirit. Radio is such a bad job to try and make a living and be happy. It also incorporates a "Good ole boys network" thought process. Kiss your program directors ass and things will work out as long as you do.

 

Corporate ownership has ruined the spontaneousness and unpredictability of radio. Now, if you are an up and coming band, you better get yourself a label with strong corporate backing. Which means you have to change your sound to conform to corporate standards. Alot of the great bands that are coming up now, are put on the backburner because of incredible band fakes like Ryan Cabrera and Simple Plan.

 

Sorry, I have gotten into my anti-corporate radio rant. Another time, another thread.

 

In conclusion, I think not going into Radio was a good thing for you Rex. ;)

Ham. CB. Shortwave. Mr. Microphone.

:P  :D

 

LOL. Back in high school in Batavia, there was this guy who used to go to the McDonalds all the time who was "Mr Ham Radio". This guy drove with headphones on, 99 percent of the time, and had more than 20 huge antennas on his lime green escort. Always funny to see the guy cruise through

Radio. or Travel. or a political campaign.

 

I've never been good at doing things I don't like. So I work in the my guilty pleasure industries. It's kinda nice.

 

I am looking really hard at local politics. Basically if I can find some kind of a support base, I am running for school board. We'll see if it goes anywhere.
