| ON SEPTEMBER 12,
1998, DURING ONLY THE SECOND EVER EPISODE OF THE ROCK 'N' ROLL JUGGERNAUT,
A DISGRUNTLED LISTENER SENT THE FOLLOWING EMAIL TO UMFM: |
| GREAT
WEB-SITE AND I LOVE THE STATION SO FAR. HOWEVER, I AM CURRENTLY LISTENING
TO THE STATION (10:30PM, SATURDAY) AND THE SHOW THAT'S CURRENTLY ON HAS
BEEN ABOUT TEN PERCENT MUSIC AND NINETY PERCENT OBNOXIOUS HOSTS. PLEASE
TELL THEM TO GROW UP! IF THEY CAN'T OR WON'T PLAY WHAT THE CALLERS ARE
REQUESTING, MAYBE THEY SHOULD STOP TAKING CALLS. UNLESS, OF COURSE, THE
PURPOSE OF TAKING CALLS IS TO RIDICULE THOSE WHOSE MUSICAL TASTES ARE NOT
AS, ERM, SOPHISTICATED AS THEIR OWN. I NEITHER WANT NOR EXPECT UMFM TO
BE A CLONE OF THE REST OF THE SHIT RADIO STATIONS IN THIS TOWN, BUT FOR
GOD'S SAKE TRY TO SHOW A MINIMUM LEVEL OF PROFESSIONALISM. IF THESE TWO
GUYS ARE ATTEMPTING TO ALIENATE EVERYONE EXCEPT THEIR CLOSE CIRCLE OF MUSIC-JERK
FRIENDS, WELL GOOD ON THEM, BECAUSE THEY ARE SUCCEEDING BEAUTIFULLY. ITS
NOT COOL, AND ITS NOT FUNNY, EITHER. |
| THIS WAS THE FIRST
CRITIQUE OF THE ROCK 'N' ROLL JUGGERNAUT, AND TO THIS DAY IS STILL THE
MOST POIGNANT. CASEY AND ANDY TOOK THE ADVICE OF THE ANONYMOUS LISTENER
TO HEART. VERY SELDOM WILL THEY TAKE CALLS ON THE AIR, UNLESS THEY ARE
CALLING TO SING "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" TO CASEY. THEY HAVE LEARNED THAT THE VAST
MAJORITY OF THEIR LISTENERS ARE TRULY MORONS AND DO NOT DESERVE THE PRIVILEGE
OF HAVING THEIR VOICES BROADCAST OVER THE AIRWAVES. |

| ON APRIL 18, 2001,
SHORTLY AFTER THE LAUNCH OF THE OFFICIAL ROCK 'N' ROLL JUGGERNAUT WEB-SITE,
THE FOLLOWING EMAIL WAS SENT TO OUR HOSTS: |
| DEAR
LOSERS, |
| ROSS,
YOU'RE A POSER. NOW THAT YOU HAVE YOUR COMMERCE DEGREE ARE YOU GOING TO
SUCK AT THE TEET OF ERNST AND YOUNG OR PRICE WATERHOUSE? MAYBE YOU CAN
DISCUSS HOW COOL JAWBREAKER IS WITH YOUR NEW LAME-ASS CO-WORKERS OVER DRINKS
AT EARLS. SELL OUT. |
| CASEY,
YOU'RE ALRIGHT. |
| TAI
CHI TONY |
| SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?
THEY'RE ALL MORONS! TAI CHI TONY WILL PAY. |
|
| YOU THOUGHT YOU HEARD
THE WORST OF IT, DIDN'T YOU. WELL CHECK OUT WHAT ANOTHER LISTENER HAD TO
SAY ON MAY 8, 2001: |
| WELL,
WELL, WELL...LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE REALLY MADE SOMETHING OF YOURSELF. AND AFTER
ALL THAT HARD WORK. IS THIS THE ONLY THING I HAVE TO EXPECT ONCE I AND
THE REST OF US HAM AND EGGERS GET TO THE ELEVATED PLATEAU THAT YOU SEE
YOURSELF STANDING ON? |
| FUCK
YOU |
| AND
JUST FOR THE RECORD I HEARD THAT CHILD PORNOGRAPHY IS GOOD FOR BUSINESS |
| WE ACTUALLY LOOKED
INTO THIS. TURNS OUT CHILD PORNOGRAPHY IS NOT GOOD FOR BUSINESS. GO FIGURE. |
