HELLO EVERYBODY!
It's good to be back again! I have received a bunch of e-mails as a result of the last post and I really appreciate your response. I have answered all of the questions with personal e-mails and will continue to do so.
One of the things that comes to mind as I read your questions is how none of them have been to complain about what we do. With my tenure in this business I realize that whatever you do, you don't please everyone. Whether it's the music, the talk, the public service announcements...whatever... someone has a bone to pick. I am not naive enough to believe that everyone who listens absolutely enjoys every element of the show, but I know a lot of people DO listen and stay with us through the good and the bad.
We try not to be offensive. We try to give you the things that you can talk about around the water cooler(yes, that's a cliche), but we don't choose to go as far as to give you reason to be offended. In our "Randy's Skewed News" we try to make a mockery of the stories that the entertainment industry keeps throwing out as if it made a difference in our everyday lives. When we talk about the Britney Spears, the Paris Hiltons, the Michael Jacksons of the world, we are hoping to make you realize that this stuff is such horse#$&*^* when it comes to everyday life.
Here at home, we need to concentrate on UNITE, Westcare, H.O.P.E, the Domestic Abuse Shelter, Judi's Place for Kids, and many others. We do not need to concentrate on what movie star is dating what movie star and who's impregnating whom. I know people need an escape, but if we do not pay attention, the monsters out there will comsume us.
I sat with a group of people at lunch this week who were looking over one of those "Entertainment" magazines. They were talking about who looked fat and who looked thin, who had looked best in their last movie and what they looked like now. They were very well versed in these star's lives and who they were. One of these people had young teenage children, two had grade school children and one is newly married (a couple of years). NOT ONE OF THEM could tell me about UNITE, the next meeting, the efforts in their child's school or whom they could contact if they had a problem in their home. (1-800-368-6483) That's 1-800-Do-Unite.
There's nothing wrong with enjoying music or entertainment. We'll do our best to give you all the information avialable on your favorite Country Music Artists, where you can find the best deals for your money, and more of those things that allow you to escacpe for a few minutes, but for goodness sakes, KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL!
Stay Tuned
