Upcoming Shows - The Devils Backbone Brewing Company

• • WTJU uproar: Staffers fuming over station's changes (106)
    • Laura Anderson Hendell: @Lightning B'more: Can someone post a picture of Mike Friend, or mention when he was at the station? (I have no criminal intent...rather, just am confused. There were so many in the 80s..?) Thanks, Laura
    • Bill Tetzeli (still Pretty Disgusted DJ): sam - I know redwhiteblue has mischaracterized what's going on. And "scream like libs"? Please, why not "scream like bakers" while you're at it? It's just as relevant to this conversation. Lightning Baltimore's analogy is spot on. Yesterday at the Advisory Board meeting there were numerous admissions that the way...
    • Bill Tetzeli (still Pretty Disgusted DJ): @Laura - he's on Facebook. He comes up first in a search.
    • redwhiteblue: Fog lays above land Forest shades truth of many Tree weeps for twig bent
    • Laura Anderson Hendell: @RWB Can't "haiku" this, but: Mr. Beard mentions wanting Charlottesville to become "the Austin of the East." Which tells me he does not know a lot about Austin, nor about Charlottesville. To wit: Last winter, the University of Texas's Cactus Cafe was summarily shut down for budgetary reasons. I'm reminded of that becuase the WTJU...
    • chattersley: See keeppublicradiopubli c.com for information on this same battle being waged nationwide — in Austin, Boston, Seattle, Gainesville ... The bean counters are making the same arguments, using the same tactics, to homogenize your radio station with the same AAA tripe you can hear from a thousand stations. You will be assimilated into the...
    • Lightning Baltimore: What Would John Beers Do? Probably something obnoxious. I'm fairly certain I remember some people thinking he ran the rock department with an iron first and didn't care about or listen to what others had to say. I hope that's not the case.
    • John Beers: No, that was not the case.
    • Laura Anderson Hendell: Oh, gosh. I was going to agree with the "probably something obnoxious part" -- but then (evidently) John Beers appears. John, I'll never forget the wonderfully hot summer I spent in your bed on Harmon. It was perfect because all of those great records were right there, and the turntable, and you were conveniently on another...
    • esteban: Mike Friend wrote: The purpose of this is not a “told you so” from a bygone era, but rather an attempt to put some perspective on what is happening. ==================== ==================== ==================== ==== Dear Mikey: How can not take this as an "I told you so" considering the fact that you've have quite a public feud (more like...

There were so many in the 80s..?) ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++ I think you can go to the WNRN website and they've got pictures of the DJ's, but I don't think...
    • Alfred Smith: This fellow Buzz Beard (or Burr Beard?) wants repetition of playlists. When I listened to WTJU back in the 1980s some of the DJs didn't even announce of the names of the songs they had just played. I found this to be wonderful. Other deejays had great personalities. They were like big sisters or big brothers. Still others, I hated the very...
