Let's have some fun! With WXTU
Today a DJ on WXTU in Philly played a snip of Wayne The Train Hancock He couldn't play the whole thing since they didn't have it on the play list. We called and jumped on it. They were confused since they never heard of it "Americana Music" They said we could come in and talk to the program director. He was very interested in hearing more about it. So it might be fun since this is the Biggest Commercial GARTH PLaying station in Philly if we all wrote in and asked to hear Wayne and the other folks we love so much. This is the Email to the station [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is the kind of things that can really change the sound of these stations !

Re: Hay Check this out!
Oh! Well F#%k them! I already have a rep for Knee jerk! I have a real problem with Anyone making a Killing on the Americana Artists! Its okay to all share the wealth, but to exploit the guys that are starving on the road every day. I really hate when some folks live real well on Americana! And the artist are lucky to make $400 a week touring after expenses!
Re: Just a thought!
The people who started college this year were born in 1980. They have no meaningful recollection of the Reagan era and did not know he had ever been shot. They were prepubescent when the Persian Gulf War was waged. Black Monday 1987 is as significant to them as the Great Depression. There has only been one Pope. They can only really remember one president. They were 11 when the Soviet Union broke apart and do not remember the Cold War. They have never feared a nuclear war. "The Day After" is a pill to them, not a movie. CCCP is just a bunch of letters. They have only known one Germany. They are too young to remember the Space shuttle blowing up. Tienamin Square means nothing to them. They do not know who Momar Qadafi is. Their lifetime has always included AIDS. They never had a Polio shot and likely do not know what it is. Bottle caps have not only always been screw off, but have always been plastic. They have no idea what a pull top can looks like. Atari pre-dates them, as do vinyl albums. The expression "you sound like a broken record" means nothing to them. They have never owned a record Player. They have likely never played Pac Man and have never heard of Pong. Star Wars looks very fake, and the special effects are pathetic. There have always been red MM's, and blue ones are not new. What do you mean there used to be beige ones? They may have heard of an 8-track, but chances are they probably have never actually seen or heard one. The Compact Disc was introduced when they were 1 year old. As far as they know, stamps have always cost about 32 cents. Zip codes have always had a dash in them. They have always had an answering machine. Most have never seen a TV set with only 13 channels, nor have they seen a black and white TV. They have always had cable. There have always been VCR's, but they have no idea what Beta is. They cannot fathom not having a remote control. They were born the year that Walkman were introduced by Sony. Roller-skating has always meant inline for them. They have never heard of King Cola, Burger Chef, Jack-in-the-Box, The Globe Democrat, Pan AM or Ozark Airlines. The Tonight Show has always been hosted by Jay Leno. They have no idea when or why Jordache jeans were cool. Popcorn has always been cooked in a microwave. They have never seen and remember a game that included the St. Louis Football Cardinals, Baltimore Colts, Minnesota North Stars, Kansas City Kings, New Orleans Jazz, Minneapolis Lakers, Atlanta Flames, Kansas City Scouts, Cleveland Barons, California Golden Seals, or Colorado Rockies (NHL hockey, that is). They do not consider the Seattle Mariners, Toronto Blue Jays, Colorado Rockies (MLB baseball), Florida Marlins, Orlando Magic, Miami Heat, Minnesota Timberwolves, Toronto Raptors, Florida Panthers, Ottawa Senators, San Jose Sharks, or Tampa Bay Lightning "expansion teams." They don't know that Wayne Gretzky started in the WHA. WHA? ABA? They have never seen Larry Bird play, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a football player. They never took a swim and thought about Jaws. The Vietnam War is as ancient history to them as WWI, WWII or even the Civil War. They have no idea that Americans were ever held hostage in Iran. They can't imagine what hard contact lenses are. They don't know who Mork was or where he was from. They never heard the terms "Where's the beef?", "I'd Walk a mile for Camel", or "de plane, de plane!". They do not care who shot J.R. and have no idea who J.R. is. The Cosby Show, The Facts of Life, Silver Spoons, The Love Boat, Miami Vice, WKRP in Cincinnati, Soap, and Taxi are shows they have likely never seen. The Titanic was found? I didn't know it was lost. Michael Jackson has always been white. They cannot remember the St. Louis Cardinals or Detroit Tigers ever winning a World Series, or even being in one. Kansas, Chicago, Boston, America, and Alabama are places, not groups. McDonalds never came in Styrofoam containers. Do you feel old now? Remember, the people who don't know these things are in college this year, and get to vote knowledgeably about your future. __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

We aren't experiencing the same thing with swing. The crowd just doesn't stay as late but they drink more than water!

Did any one notice that David doesn't care that one of the best songs on the album is not going to get air play on most radio stations since he's not creative enough to not use F#%k! Fred
