I'm a guy pushing 40 who loves movies, sports, TV, books, music, video games and comic books (basically all things entertainment). The posts will likely be random ramblings of entertainment stuff I enjoy, some 70s, a lot of 80s, the 90s and today, all very likely smothered with a heavy dose of cheese. Kind of like an easy listening blog station. Oh yeah, and a lot of bad or unfortunate names.

Heck Yes, I'm Patriotic

Today is Veteran's Day, do you know what that means? Yes, today is another day for radio stations across America to show they are uber-patriotic.  How you ask? Let's look inside the bullpen to a meeting with the Program Director (do radio stations still have program directors? The only experience I have with radio, besides listening, is WKRP in Cincinnati).

In my experience, all program directors also have great feathered hair.
Program Director: Today is "Veteran's Day, 4th of July, Memorial Day, Anniversary of 9/11, Flag Day, Pearl Harbor day, fill in the blank", we need to show our listeners that we are true Americans!

Lacky 1: How about a melodic tribute to the armed services with Ray Charles singing America the Beautiful and Paul Simon's American Tune?

PD: What, are we trying to put our listeners to sleep? You're fired. 

Lackey 2: How about the Boss with Born in the USA and Jimi Hendrix's Star Spangled Banner?

PD: What are we, Commies? Not patriotic enough! I'm demoting you to janitor.

Lackey 2: I'm already the janitor.

PD: I thought you were a DJ.

Lackey 2: Yes, that too. Remember, this is a radio station.

PD: Dammit people, I need something good, something that will show our listeners we care.

Lackey 3: How about we play Lee Greenwood's God Bless the USA three times an hour all day?

PD: Brilliant! Make it so! Note: in this skit, the PD is a big Star Trek nerd.

Instead, I give you (part of) a song that is more the embodiment of our modern military man and woman:
