AA Unfiltered

[bookman]

This is the most disappointing program on AA. I understand the ratings are low, and I understand why.

I don't listen to AA to hear hip hop explained to me. I really don't care about hip hop music. I don't mind a reference to hip hop in the context of another political discussion, but there is just to much "inside" info on hip hop.

I think a reevaluation is necessary.

1. That's too bad

It's my favorite show on AAR.

2. Liz W is the funniest personality on AA

But my favorite show is "Ring of Fire" with Bobby Kennedy Jr.

3. Hosts

I don't mind the hosts, just the topics that get discussed on a daily basis. I agree on Liz.

I'll keep listening, perhaps I'll change my feelings about the show.

( If I do change, just don't call me a "flip-flopper". :) )

4. Although Marc Maron ain't bad either... n/t

6. It's the only show on AAR...

...that really looks at race and gender issues. The discussions about hip-hop are usually in that context.

5. Chuck D is bringing a lot of young people who are interested in hip hop

to the radio to listen to Air America. They'll hear Chuck talk about hip hop and then they'll get the political message and they might even go out and vote. I think it's great and I'm all for it, plus I really like the show. I enjoy listening to Chuck D talk about music, he's very smart, not just about hip hop but about R&B and all kinds of things. I learn a lot from him. The same way I used to love to listen to Joey Ramone talk about rock and roll, he was a historian on the subject. So, Go Chuck!
