I’m always amazed at people who take the time to send random hate mail. There’s nothing constructive here, and it accomplishes nothing. Except maybe to help the writer feel better about themselves. Witness Frank. He recently e-mailed me out of the blue on Facebook. Here’s the conversation:

Did you come by? Sorry if I wasn’t as responsive as I could’ve been. There’s a lot of stuff going on in there, from taking phone calls to running the board, and unlike the edge, we’re there all alone with nobody to help out. Your anger is generally pretty amusing, as was your comment about Bookie. I worked with Bookie for over 10 years, and always liked him and his energy, though he’s totally unique and I have no desire to be him, or do his style of radio. You also complained about the Big Box. In the interest of constructive criticism, what would you rather hear in there?

you just dont get it, i would rather listen to RAFFI do your show then you. i just need to get rid of you period… i think they should just let lynch stay on the air as long as he thinks he can and if there is some time left you can say hi or do some annoucments or something just so that you can say you came here and accomplished something, and call your friends in toronto and tell them yoou are on the radio in calgary!!!

I’ve decided not to respond anymore. Frank has obvious anger (and grammar while we’re at it)?issues, and better not to anger him. Frank Angry, Frank Hit!!! Grrrr. And Frank, I’m sorry my show isn’t up to the high standards of a hit TV show like Married With Children.

I thought I’d give you some ways to get in touch. When I’m on-air the studio number is 403-238-X929. You can e-mail me any old time you like - weekends and the middle of the night even. I try to answer it all, even though it’s sometimes a little tardy. It’s josh@x929.ca

OK, OK, I know. Today on Josh’s Big Box O CDs we featured a song from a one-and-a-half hit wonder. I’m not sure if the one we played today is the one or the half. It’s The Bloodhound Gang and the song The Bad Touch from the aptly titled album Hooray for Boobies. My favourite part of the song is the line “gettin’ horny now!” Good times.
