Hate radio is so cool!

[salinen]

Man are they hip. The shows begin with some hard core grunge. And then as you listen for awhile, you realize that what they are saying is hard core grunge.

I also like all the Born-Again stations and how they all broadcast from Chartes Cathedral.

1. Something I've always wondered

Why is it that the intro music for so many right-wing talk radio hosts sounds like it came from the soundtrack of a bad '70s porno film? Limbaugh being the classic example (and Sean "Let Freedom Ring" Hannity being the exception).

[salinen]

2. Do you actually remember

any GOOD '70's porn? I always liked the intro to Limpballs show. Pretenders.

3. yes, the never have a problem playing music from liberal artists

i find that a bit hypocritical.

4. His Theme Was Written By Chrissie Hynde...And She Doesn't Like It

The tune you hear is "My City Is Gone"...a great tune about the decay of Akron...during the Raygun years. Chrissie's tried to have Rush stop using it, but can't. Here's why...

Under agreements, a radio station can play up to 15 seconds of a song without either the artist's permission or paying a royalty. Thus Rush uses The Pretenders and all these other goons play bands that in no way support their political hatred (Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Petty and so on).

Notice how few use Toby Keith? :evilgrin:

5. wow, i had no idea about the 15 second thing.

i suppose this only applies to radio stations and not commercials and other stuff?

7. Commercials Are Usually 30 Seconds

Those pay big bucks so that Jimmy Page wails behind the Cadillac Ad. But 15 seconds or less...especially a local station...is a freebie.

The DU equivelent is the ability to quote 4 paragraphs of any article as long as you post the link.

9. Why did she record it if she didn't like it?

:evilgrin:

11. from what i heard

limp pays chrissie .either limp or chrissie then donates the money to some cause of chrissie`s. i think there is a difference to "theme" music such as limps or seanie`s and music "bumpers"-15 or less seconds..

[HootieMcBoob]

13. wow - ok

I always wondered how that worked. I couldn't bring myself to believe that Chrissie Hynde supported Limbaugh in anyway and it always pissed me off that he used The Pretenders music. I love The Pretenders.

6. ha! I hope they don't put in the wrong spool and something like

"Mr. Thrust, Thrust, Thrust, a ball of unrequited lust, lust, lust, Mr. Thrust, Thrust, Thrust, *bang* *boom* *CRASH*!"

[harrison]

8. I don't understand this: why there are right wing rock dee jays.

Rock n roll developed in reaction to conservative and racist system. Now, you have conservative and racists dee jays who play rock. Orwellian days.

[ArkDem]

10. Rock n roll developed in reaction to parents

[salinen]

12. It's an appeal to grab

young listeners. Start with a hip intro, then fill them full of RW spin.
