Broadcast Slackers

The Federal Communications Commission is making a big move. This will affect those who still listen to AM/FM radio. No more requirement to serve the people of the city the actual radio station exists.

Guess what? I knew this was going to happen and I am kind of happy to see this change in the rules. Why?

Tough Room

It's a common complaint among musicians. Where are the crowds? Why are they bitching about a five dollar cover? Why is Memphis so difficult?

Not that I have the answers, but in this case I can shed a bit of light on the subject. Maybe.

Fact of the matter is that makes for a tough room just about every place you go to see a show.

Dividing By Zero

We sure have become a divided nation. Over everything. It started with the guy in the White House, maybe sooner and now us Americans seem to love to get into a debate over anything and everything. Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip? Sardines on a sandwich or no?

An Evolution is Coming

Over the years, From Radioland has gone from being a weird, long, rambling thing to what it is now. Rather concise and somewhat structured. Guess what? I'm gonna change things up a bit.

What is currently in the show is not going anywhere. We're just going to add a few things to the production. I'll tell you about some of these changes in this episode.

That Damned Lemon Tree

I know I am not hallucinating. I can't be the only one who has thought about this. I am talking about this weird hobby with some middle aged men. Growing a lemon tree. At first, this seemed like some strange dystopian past-time.

Dig deep enough, though and there appears to be something a little odd about this and what this activity is doing to the guys who are participating.
