When I worked for WBCN, I wasn’t really doing a show. I was their swing guy. I filled in everywhere, and they didn’t have a full time slot for me. So, I’d show up at all times of the day. It was kinda cool because I got to interact with different people all the time. And…my listeners from WAAF were still finding me. It was a lot of fun. Here’s a Saturday Night on The Rock Of Boston (RIP)

Here’s an example of me working a weekend shift on WBCN in Boston. Sadly, the station is no longer there. But, at the time it was the Patriots flagship broadcast station. So…we made a big deal out of it. As a Raiders fan, this was acting at its best 🙂 I’ve always hated the Patriots. I always will.

When I worked for WBCN, the Program Director actually asked me if I’d have a problem filling in on an overnight shift. I was like “HELL NO!” I get to screw off at night?…I’m in. So, here’s what a typical 3rd shift on WBCN sounded like when I was there. Some nights were busier than others. This wasn’t all that busy. This is what they call a “generic scoped aircheck.”

What’s up??

I’m so happy for the city of New Orleans! Just great people who deserve the happiness they’re feeling right now.

And it’s good to see Drew Brees finally get his…All the mediots talked about was how great Peyton Manning is. They overlooked the guy who’s been the most productive QB in the NFL over the past 4 years…in fact:

Since becoming a Saint in 2006, Drew Brees has thrown for 1359 more yards than Peyton Manning. The same amount of TDs, only 6 more INTs in 154 more attempts. And has a completion pct. of 66.85 to Manning’s 66.5. What I’m saying is…Brees has been the better QB.

I make no attempt to hide it. I LOVE that city & everything about it. I made some of the best friends & had some of the best times of my life.  Those that have never been there…can’t possibly get it.

Actually, there’s a big difference between living there, and visiting. The city has a real “voodoo” that’s awesome, and beautiful, and no matter what the media tells you about crime and poverty…The people of New Orleans love their home. Their pains are not self-pity. They’re genuinely hurt by what’s happened to their city. They’re so proud of the laid back vibe. It’s just a VERY special place, and had the station I worked for not gone away…We’d probably have never left.  I love New Orleans! It is where I would choose to retire.  And someday, still hope to.

Although, going to the ‘Dome for games is a BLAST!…It still ain’t the Black Hole! 🙂  But, I do own a Ricky Williams jersey from his rookie year!

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Meanwhile…The search for the next gig continues! Good things are ahead. Thank you for all of the e-mails of support. Both here, and on Twitter/Facebook/Myspace.

For your pleasure? I present another in a long line of Lars interviews. I think I may have spoken to him more than any other musician during my career. Either him…or Ozzy. Either way, not bad at all. This was done prior to the third (?) show of the Death Magnetic Tour. And as always, we had a blast.
