Name: Tyler Collins
Age: 25

Bee-otched For: pissing off Tiger fans

---

When us Michiganders hear the words "April in the D", it means excitement.

To us, it means the beginning of Tiger baseball, Red Wings in the playoffs and if we're nice enough, the Pistons in the playoffs too. Now, April's almost over and both the Red Wings and Pistons are done for the year. Even worse, the Tigers are struggling to stay around a .500.

Now, they're going to do it without outfielder Tyler Collins.

On Tuesday's game against the A's, a ball was heading towards Collins' section, but because of the lighting, he couldn't see it coming toward him. Another outfielder, Justin Upton was heading towards that same ball, but instead of an easy out for the A's, the ball dropped. Upton picked it up only to drop it again while Collins picked it up himself and threw it to third base. Problem was, Third Baseman Nick Castellanos dropped that ball and it fled into the foul area.

Needless to say, Tiger fans were pissed over the shitty play. Collins should have responded by simply moving on and focusing on a good game. But instead, he turned into a whiny little bitch and flipped off 21,000 spectators in attendance at Comerica Park and millions at home.

But hey! The Tigs beat the A's 7-3.

Despite objections from fans, Major League Baseball chose not to punish Collins, but the Tigers organization responded by shipping him across the state line to Toledo, where he's now a Mudhen for the time being.

Other than the fact that he shares his name with a 1990s female R&B one-hit-wonder, Collins should definitely be embarrassed by this rookie incident. True, he's a kid, but flipping off a whole bunch of people who are supposed to be your fans just isn't very nice. He needs to know that the most professional athletes fuck up. Michael Jordan's lost games, Lebron James loses games, Justin Verlander throws homeruns (like last night), it goes on. It's not 100% his fault that he allowed the ball to drop, but then again, Comerica Park needs lights for people to see, too. No lights at Comerica means that they could only do home games and now, the sun is not in your favor.

Hopefully, Collins will one day come back to Detroit acting like a human being and not a pompous ass like Kanye West. Yes, we expect the best from our Tigers, but remember, last year, we started at 9-1 and ended the season with a .400. The season's still young and we have a ways to go. No rush.

But if all else fails, remember that Detroit will soon be getting a new Major League Soccer team brought to you by Pistons owner Tom Gores and Cavs owner Dan Gilbert. Thanks, LeBron!

The band of Southern yokels, created in 1977 by idiot pastor Donald Wildmon over his disgust of Three's Company and Suzanne Somers' big, bouncy boobies have had their fair share of boycotts over the years. They've boycotted stores that sold Playboy, Pepsi over their support of Madonna and her "Like a Prayer" video, Howard Stern (especially through Bill Johnson and what is now his American Decency Association) and even Mighty Mouse because of a 1987 episode of his New Adventures because 1) he supposedly snorted cocaine and 2) the show was produced by Ralph Bakshi, the man behind the X-rated theatrical classic "Fritz the Cat". Now, the "religious" group, labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center for their rants against the LGBT crowd, is trying to lead a boycott of retail giant Target because of the company's policy that allows people to choose whatever bathroom they feel most comfortable in. The AFA claims that the edict will harm especially women and children. However, I feel that there's other things to worry about than if I'm using a urinal and a woman chooses to pee next to me. (And yes, it is possible.) Several years ago, I used to attend WWE pay-per-views at my local Buffalo Wild Wings. A few times, I witnessed what looked like a young black girl in a wheelchair using the urinal. Did I ask the father why his daughter was using the urinal? Nope, and it was none of my business. However, personally, I'm one of those guys who HATES peeing next to a guy. The last thing I need is some dude staring at my junk. Maybe we oughta have bathrooms for straight and gay males, right, AFA? The point is that the AFA has their heads up their asses, which is par for the course for them. They're more worried about somebody born a man who is now a woman going into the ladies' room to possibly sneak a peek than other things that we should worry about, like, oh, SCHOOL SHOOTINGS? Plus, a lot of violence happens in girls' bathrooms in schools, but since men aren't allowed, things can get dangerous. Look, I'd rather look at female body parts vs. males. Hell, at my workplace, there's two men's rooms. If I see legs down in the stall in one bathroom, I go to the other since my workplace doesn't pay me enough to smell the contents of another man's butthole. Then again, as somebody who beared witness to his ex-girlfriend taking a shit in his bathroom, it's safe to say that the scent of female booty ain't pleasant, either. But anyway, since I'm a man, I'll still use the men's room out of respect to my sex. If I see a woman or a transgender person use my restroom, no biggie as long as I walk out of there without something poking me in the ass. So, do you have something better to attack, AFA? --- Got a Bee-otch to nominate? E-mail us @ chuck69dotcom@gmail.com. All suggestions (except for me) are welcome!

Name: WZZM-13
Age: 54
Occupation: ABC affiliate
Last Seen: Grand Rapids, MI
Bee-otched For: being nothing like their sister in Phoenix

---

Well, I'm back from the desert.

I just spent a week in sunny Phoenix visiting my mother. All week, it was nice and sunny, but hot with temps in the 90s. So, Mom and I spent a chunk of the time sitting inside her house basking in the AC, watching TV.

When it comes to the media in Phoenix, that town ROCKS. Their radio dial is loaded with every known format imaginable, even elevator music. TV-wise, there's a lot of selection between English and Spanish language programming. As a matter of fact, the top TV news station in town - AFAIK - is the local Univision station.

But since I don't speak Spanish, which hampers my ability to enjoy an episode of El Chavo (not to worry since Chespirito was a right-winged asshole who cheated on his wife), I'm stuck with good 'ol local TV for local news. Since I've always been an NBC guy, I went with KPNX-12 for their news. To be honest, they weren't bad! Their newscasts were well-produced. The only major problem was that on one day, some of the video was jerky. But it was fixed later on. I think their main news anchor, Mark Curtis is a pure professional and his co-anchor, Vanessa Ruiz is smokin' hot. Hell, KPNX has several hotties in front of the camera. Even their Chief Meteorologist, Caribe Devine ain't bad looking for having two kids.

The thing is, KPNX is a winner. They've been a top-rated news station in Phee-Phee for years, especially after their competition experienced one of the weirdest affiliation swaps in TV history in 1995 where virtually everybody but them swapped affiliations (KTVK-3 went from ABC to WB to Independent, KPHO-5 went from indy to CBS, KSAZ-10 went from CBS to Fox and KNXV-15 went from Fox to ABC).

However, their sister in Grand Rapids doesn't have the luck that they have.

WZZM-13 does share the same graphics as KPNX-12, but that's it. Otherwise, the station as a whole is an abortion and the bastard child of TEGNA, the old Gannett Media (the owners spun off the publishing division and the name and simply re-aligned the letters). There's a good reason why Wizzim is in pathetic fourth place and it's simply because watching their newscasts is like watching paint dry. KPNX's newscasts are well-done while WZZM is simply awful.

To me, WZZM is embarrassing, such as the fact that they waited forever to begin a 5 p.m. newscast to recent abortions such as sports anchor Jamal Spencer's flubbing of the Michigan-Michigan State football score and the fact that they were the last station in town to cover the Kalamazoo shootings. Plus, aging news anchor Juliet Dragos is too much of a yenta for my taste. The only good thing about WZZM is the fact that Lee Van Ameyde retired recently.

Look, I'm not expecting WZZM to hire nothing but young hotties with big tits and to be on the same page as KPNX, but dammit, FIX YOUR PRODUCT! Want me to keep watching WOOD-TV 8? It's sad that TEGNA has some great stations, but WZZM ain't one of them.

I have heard rumblings that TEGNA is trying to clean house (which might be why Lee retired) and might be getting rid of older employees. If that's so. Good. WZZM needs to stay competitive. If not, they'll be getting rammed by WOOD for good.

Learn from the best and stop playing by rules that can't be followed very well.

A SPECIAL HERO OF THE DAY!

Name: Prince
Age: was 57
Occupation: singer, songwriter, musician, etc.
Last Seen: Chanhassen, MN
Awarded For: being a real influence on pop culture

---

This has been a torrid year for music. It seems that everybody whom we all grew up with that had talent are all dying.

Last week while I was in Phoenix with my mother, we ended up adding Prince to the list.

I got the word from Facebook that the Purple One had died at his Paisley Park compound in Minnesota, so I flipped it to CNN. Wolf Blitzer was talking about the presidential race when CNN themselves got the word that Prince died. From there on, it was wall-to-wall Prince coverage. Mother was quite annoyed by me watching all those countless hours of Prince's passing, watching the people lined up in front of Paisley Park in tears, crying that their local hero had passed. As a matter of fact, she even told me that she was more sad that David Bowie died, so I reminded her that it's better than watching the alternative, which was CNN talking about Donald Trump (and yes, she hates him with a passion). Point made.

In a way, Prince Rogers Nelson died so Donald and Hillary would be knocked off the front page, but still, his influence in the world of all musical genres will always remain high. The son of Louisiana-bred jazz musicians in mostly white Minnesota, he schooled himself in a world of music as his escape. When he was 20, he had a record deal and a year later, scored his first top 40 hit, "I Wanna Be Your Lover".

Throughout the early 80s, he wasn't just a hit with the R&B audience, but he was popular with the new wave crowd as well. In 1982, he released 1999, his breakthrough album. But two years later, Purple Rain - the movie and the album - were both released, cementing his as a superstar. The movie - budgeted at $7 million - made over $70 million. The soundtrack gave Prince his first #1 hits, "When Doves Cry" and "Let's Go Crazy" and it gave him an Oscar for its title song. He had a score of more hits and #1s throughout the late 80s and 90s when a rift between himself and his label, Warner Bros. caused him to write the word "slave" on his right cheek and change his name to that unpronounceable symbol,

.

Eventually, Prince started working on his own terms and even restored his stage name. Even though he hadn't had a top 40 hit since 1997's "The Holy River" and a #1 since "Cream" in 1991, his albums still went gold and platinum and he still sold out arenas. He even performed at the 2007 Super Bowl Halftime Show where he performed some of his classics and even a cover of the Foo Fighters' "The Best of You" as a thank you for making a hit out of his controversial "Darling Nikki" from Purple Rain.

Prince was a man of "Controversy" (no pun intended) since it was 'Nikki' that riled up Tipper Gore and fellow 'Washington Wives' to create the Parents Music Resource Center that slaps warning labels on albums. He was also a man of many relationships and married twice. He did have a son who died as an infant. Otherwise his life was private.

Despite being private and soft-spoken, Prince was quite the showman and his image and style will live on. Without him, music and even MTV wouldn't be the same. He did more in 57 years than most would do in their whole lives.

Sleep well, Purple One.

4.14.16 Hero of the Day: Cristi Cantle

BECOME AN AFFILIATE OF T-SHIRT HELL AND MAKE SOME MONEY!

A SPECIAL HERO OF THE DAY!

Name: Cristi Johnson (nee Cantle)
Age: 36
Occupation: former radio personality
Last Seen: Alpena, MI
Awarded For: leaving radio for greener pastures

---

It almost seems that yesterday, Cristi Cantle was the hottest female radio personality in west Michigan.

As a teenager in the Detroit area, her radio career started at her local high school station. Then, it was Western Michigan University where she was the GM at WIDR, that school's radio station. In 1999, she made her commercial radio debut on a little radio station in Grand Rapids, WKLQ.

At the time, WKLQ was bar none, the coolest radio station in Grand Rapids, no, I mean Michigan. They had Howard Stern in the morning and kickass rock music all day. Even the jocks made their listeners at home. Men in west Michigan would die to be the Mr. Cristi Cantle as she ruled nights at The Rock @ 94dot5.

One fond memory I had of Cristi was that when I moved to Grand Rapids in 2002, I was hoping she was reading my website and requested a tune by Type O Negative at 11:30 the next night. 11:30 came and I heard the profanity-laden "Santa is a Fat Bitch" by Insane Clown Posse. I wrote about it on the Buzzboard and was told that she had the night off. The night after, she played "I Love You To Death". Awwww.....

Then came Matt Hanlon.

Of course, the much-beloved GM did his damage to KLQ. He fired well-loved jocks such as Mark "The Head" Feurie, demoted Stern to flea-powered 1340 (the old WBBL) and made Cristi the work horse of the station, forcing her to be heard from 3p-midnight daily, including on the station's short-lived Man Made Radio.

I remembered seeing her at a meet and greet for Powerman 5000 at the Guitar Center here in GR shortly after the station launched Stern's replacement, the ill-fated Ron and Don Show. I didn't say hi or nothing. She looked like she didn't even want to be there supporting the shell of a once-good station. Not long after, she left KLQ for good.

Cristi worked at a few stations here and there including WMMS in Cleveland, where she was reunited with her Man Made Radio sidekicks. Her boss at WMMS was none other than the late Kevin "Pig Virus" Methany, aka Howard Stern's old boss at WNBC/New York. No word if he forced her to say "Dubya-EMMMMM-M-S!" on the air. In the past nine years, Cristi worked at the Entercom stations in Sacramento, especially at 98 Rock. There, she was the producer of the popular Rob, Arnie and Dawn morning show and hosted a nighttime show on the rock station.

Along with her radio activities, Cristi also worked as a roller derby girl, often joining local leagues in virtually every town she worked in. She raced under names such as "Skellawhore" and "Corporate Cristi". In 2014, she married a man named Scotty and became Cristi Johnson.

Earlier this month, Cristi moved back to Michigan with Scotty and their dogs, but not to Detroit nor Grand Rapids. She now resides in tiny Alpena, pop. 10,000. Alpena's only local rock station, WWTH/Thunder 100.7 is mostly fed from Cumulus. Most of the other northern Michigan rock stations - WKLT, Rock 105 and The Bear - have translator stations in Alpena but no studios there. Most Alpena stations are fed off the bird. Yet, Cristi and Scotty have a job making t-shirts.

The two are now part owners of a well-established embroidery shop called Family Enterprise. According to records, the shop is owned by Cristi's family and does make good money.

Especially after the BS she faced at times working in radio, I'm happy for Cristi and her family. Owning your own business is a reward for all the hard work that you've accomplished in life. While I see Matt Hanlon trying to scrape his life back together for his drunk driving incident, I'm happy to see Cristi rise above the BS and start her new life. She's probably the only ex-KLQ jock fucked over by Hanlon that's doing quite well these days.

Now, they need to sell fish tacos and adopt the slogan "Yum Yum Gimme Some!"

2016 might not be a great year to be Rush Limbaugh.

The once-popular talk radio host's contract is expiring this year and it looks like his syndicator won't repeat the eight-year, $400 million contract that he's currently on.

The story is that in 2008, Rush signed that contract with Premiere Radio Networks, which is owned by Clear Channel. Since the ink dried, a lot has happened in Rush's life, including the fact that Clear Channel changed its name to iHeartMedia and in 2012, he lost a shitload of sponsors when he called woman's rights supporter Sandra Fluke a "slut". Since that doo-hickey happened, he did lose some key affiliates in Indianapolis and Boston.

Despite its name change, too, iHeartMedia is still riddled with a $20 billion debtload mostly caused by the company overpaying for radio stations shortly after the Telecommunications Act of 1996 was passed. Since it all happened, many radio stations like theirs lost value thanks to competition from satellite and internet radio. iHeart was trading at $90 per share 16 years ago. Now, it's yours for around a buck.

The truth is simply the fact that Rush's audience is also much older and many of them are retiring or have already, making his affiliates unattractive to advertisers. Even though some say that he's still the #1 host on talk radio, it simply don't mean shit when it equates to money.

If Rush Limbaugh re-signs this year, I'll be shocked. After all, he's 65 and his prime was years ago. Look at Johnny Carson: when he retired from The Tonight Show, he knew that his time was up. His audience was aging and the kids loved Arsenio. Clearly, I don't think that iHM has $400 million to pay Rush's pill-popping fat ass. If they re-sign him, I see them becoming a pink sheet.

Meanwhile, Howard Stern is on top with 30 million Sirius listeners. So how's your crow, terrestrial radio?

Bee-otched For: losing money over slavery

Only in America where idiots shop at a store where they treat their employees just a step above slavery.

In Pennsylvania, a judge has ordered Walmart to cough up $224 million to 187,000 workers because they were all forced to work during their mandated lunch breaks. According to the suit, the employees had been waiting to get paid for ten years.

That's about $1,200 per employee.

According to the labor union Making Change at Walmart, they're rejoicing since it's a sign that they can no longer mistreat and short-change their employees. As-is, the family that controls Walmart, the Waltons have billions stashed away in foreign bank accounts to avoid paying high taxes. As a matter of fact, Walmart only paid $13 million in taxes last year.

For me, the news that Walmart will have to pay their employees hits home. A decade ago, I had family that worked at Walmarts and Sams Clubs and hated it. One family member lost money from his paycheck because they had to fix a vending machine that he didn't even use. Too many people were pushing and punching it and his boss told him that "we're a team. If you see somebody smacking the vending machine, tell them to stop." REALLY?!?! He admitted that he even worked for free because he had to finish his job and since Walmart won't allow their employees to work overtime, he punched out at his normal time and continued working.

Folks, this is what happens when the economy sucks and there's no jobs. Your bosses can find ways to buck the system and FORCE you to do things you don't want to do. The reason why is because when there's no jobs, there's more freedom for THEM to use you for more profit. I'm a shining example of this: I worked for the same guy for 10 1/2 years. During this time, he only gave me ONE raise, FORCED his employees to have only two breaks EVEN if they're working ten hours and he would even demerit you if you didn't work the hours he asked you to work. I looked for other jobs - even in other cities - but thanks to the awful economy brought to us by good 'ol Dubya, that's what we all got. We all got a boss that tells you that the company's not making enough money to give everybody a raise, yet, he goes on many vacations per year, including massive fishing trips to Wawa, Canada.

Now that we have a Democrat in the White House - and I hope it continues for the next four years - the jig is up for Walmart and other companies that mistreat their employees. The economy is way better now and if people are forced to work during their lunch breaks, they have the cojones to report to the labor boards without hesitation nor worry.

Sorry, Wally World, but the 99% is taking over.

I'll admit, this is turning into quite the soap opera.

Last week, the Grand Rapids radio community was shocked when it was announced that Eric Zane, formerly of the Free Beer and Hot Wings morning show on WGRD here in Grand Rapids and syndicated to stations nationwide had signed a deal to do mornings at WBBL 107.3. The move was indeed shocking since once upon a time, Zane and his co-horts made fun of WBBL and its moronic afternoon host, "Huge" Bill Simonson.

On Zane's first show on Thursday, he made it sound that when he was let go from WGRD, Daniels and Michaels did nothing to want to keep them there. Instead, they were treating his dismissal as business as usual. They pretended like he didn't exist but when the public knew, they were like "it's time to move on".

True, I'd like to think that Zane's the hero in all this, but remember whom he's working with now: Huge. With Cumulus now fighting with billions in debt, they think that WBBL's ratings will skyrocket with Zane and Huge all on one channel. Sadly, Zane is now on Huge's side and he's using him as his puppet so WBBL can remain competitive with ESPN 96.1 since they now have the Tigers while WBBL will be a borefest come Summer.

Oddly enough, today, Zane will have Joel Langlois, the owner of the Deltaplex on his show. It was speculated that because of Langlois that Zane was canned. I hope a lot will come out, but remember, Daniels and Michaels were going to talk about Zane on Friday, remember? Well, it never happened.

Folks, this is why I listen to Howard Stern instead. True, he's quiet on some issues *COUGHARTIELANGECOUGH*, but when he needs to talk about shit with his listeners, he'll address it. When Jackie Martling left the show, he talked about it. He didn't weasel around it like FB&HW did to Zane. True, when Robin Quivers was battling her cancer, she kept it private. Howard respected her although some fans were wondering why she wasn't in the studio for months (she did the show via ISDN). Otherwise, I felt that I was smart when Howard moved to Sirius in 2006. Instead of drinking the Free Beer and Hot Wings Kool-Aid, I simply jumped on the Sirius bandwagon.

I predict that in six months' time, 1) Free Beer and Hot Wings will no longer be #1 in the ratings and 2) Zane's presence will not help WBBL a whole lot. Remember, FB&HW work for WGRD - owned by Townsquare Media - and Huge's shit show is syndicated by Michigan Talk Network, which is owned by - you guessed it - Townsquare.

Thanks, but hearing Richard and Sal prank call Tradio is a trillion times better.

Looks like the establishment is losing ground.

On Tuesday, voters in Wisconsin voted for Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz in the state primaries. The Republican frontrunner, Donald Trump is blaming the Republican establishment for his loss. But, maybe he oughta blame his mouth instead.

Last week, Trump shocked even his fans because he, a life-long supporter of women's rights announced that women should be severely punished for having an abortion. Trump's words angered even the most-conservative of all Republicans. He later recanted his words, but it just wasn't enough as he only got second place in the Republican polls.

As for Hillary Clinton, she was also a sore loser once again as she lost to Bernie Sanders. He has beaten the ex-First Lady in seven out of the last eight primaries, proving that even the Democrats are tired of the establishment, too.

I've noticed that many Democrats are pissed over the way Bernie has been treated since the National Committee wants Hillary to be its leader. However, she's too much in neutral territory to be a true Democrat. After all, her husband approved NAFTA, the Telecommunications Act and allowed al-Qaeda to train on our soil.

Now, IF she's the nominee, yes, I'll vote for her, simply because I don't want the Donald to be my next president. But all I can say is don't see a whole lot of progress if she's the prez. She might leave the White House with a surplus, but only if Bill helps. The Democratic Party should be the liberal party, not the centralist!

Look, I think most people don't want a businessman to be the next prez, especially after the abortion known as Dubya. Can we afford to take what Obama gave us for eight years and blow it up like Dubya did to Bill? Good question.

But, it's not over. After all, John Kasich is still in the running to take delegates away from Trump and Cruz. We might not have a Republican candidate if there's not enough delegates! Who knows?

All I can say is only a few more months of this shit.

Looks like Alabama might be getting a new governor real soon.

State lawmakers passed resolution to impeach governor Robert Bentley for hiding an alleged affair with his mistress. The 73-year-old, currently serving his second term as the state's Republican governor was divorced from his wife of 50 years last year because of the affair.

When I heard about the sickyation in 'Bama, I thought to myself, "OK, so they want to impeach the governor for adultery like they did to Clinton, so why can't this state do something similar regarding Snyder and the shit he stirred up in Flint?" Isn't screwing the water system worse than screwing around with the woman whom you were married to for 50 long, fucking years? Sad, and this is coming from a man from the party of family values, too.

In a Twitter post, Bentley claims that there's a lot to do before he ends his term in 2019. Like admitting that you're an asshole, dumbass? Being a Christian, he even asked the Lord for forgiveness. True, Jesus forgives, but the damage is done.

Look. I hate the Republican party simply because they're corrupt. Hell, look at the south right now, fucking around with LGBT rights all because they can now marry. People need to vote so we can get these corrupt assholes out of office and give people politicians who actually give a damn about us!

Until then, watch as the world implodes.

The goings-on in Grand Rapids radio is turning into a better soap opera than The Young and the Restless.

As we reported recently, Eric Zane was let go from WGRD and The Free Beer and Hot Wings morning radio show for unknown reasons. Rumors for his firing included everything from an altercation between him and Deltaplex owner Daniel Langlois and his ongoing battle with Grand Rapids sports hack "Huge" Bill Simonson at WBBL.

Now, Zane has found a new home, and when it was announced yesterday, it was a shock to many in the market. Zane is now the new morning show host at WBBL

Yes, Zane and Fatboy are now best buds.

As FB&HW's sidekick, Zane would constantly make fan of Huge by doing impersonations of him to bragging about his tepid ratings. According to his YouTube blog, Zane claimed that Simonson was one of the first people who reached out to him after his firing. Amazing, since Simonson apparently is not a totally forgiving person.

The Eric Zane Show officially debuts Thursday morning on WBBL at 6 a.m., going toe-to-toe with FB&HW. WBBL is currently near last place in the radio ratings and some wonder if Zane's new show will help the struggling sports talker, especially since they lost the Tigers and Red Wings to WOOD and ESPN 96.1.

According to Zane, his show will not be totally sports-related.

But the question is, where's Michael Grey, WBBL's old morning man?

Yesterday, the dweeb made a cryptic Twitter post saying "A fish rots from the head down". Awwwww.

Yes, this is the same Michael Grey who damn near killed WGRD when it was alternative, who fucked up KLQ royally and got shitcanned from every other station he worked at because of super-low ratings. The fact that Cumulus rehired him at WBBL is nothing short but sheer stupidity and then some.

True, it's unknown if Grey was indeed canned from The Ball, but if he was indeed fired, it might be one of the very few wise decisions struggling Cumulus has made in a long, long time. After all, they blew up WHNN in Bay City despite monster ratings and they just destroyed the once-almighty KGO in San Francisco, a station that 20 years ago was the top radio station in the Bay Area for years.

IMHO, a part of me thinks that WBBL could see a slight ratings increase, especially over ESPN 96.1 now that Zane is on board. But there's that other part of me that thinks that Zane sold out to his listeners simply because he's now Huge's butt buddy. In the end, Free Beer and Hot Wings have nothing to worry about. They'll still be #1 in the ratings and WGRD will remain one of the best active rock stations in Michigan.

In other news, you know, Howard Stern is still quite funny.

Mother Nature sure can be a bitch.

All last week, I was in Kentucky with my father and most of the time, it was definitely Spring. We did have one major thunderstorm one day, but hey, that's Spring. Other times, I was wearing shorts since the weather too damn perfect.

And then, I had to go home.

I left my dad's Saturday afternoon and tell ya the truth, coming to his place was way better than leaving. Coming to his place, the weather was clear with not a drop of percipitation. But coming home was a horrific nightmare. I-65 through Kentucky was a road construction nightmare. Crossing the newly-constructed bridge that goes to and from Louisville, I entered a shitstorm of wind all throughout Indiana. The wind was so bad that sometimes, it tried to push my car across the highway! It was scary. I stopped to fill up in Indianapolis and I thought that I was going through a tornado or hurricane.

Driving up US-31, I had the misfortune of driving through whiteout conditions through Kokomo. I read that 1-3 inches of the white stuff had pelted Grand Rapids, which made me wonder why in the hell was Mother Nature punishing us. It remained windy as hell well into Michigan. Driving eight hours to and from Kentucky is bad enough, but put dangerous gusts of wind into the equation and it's the trip from hell.

You see, the reason why I drove to Kentucky in late March is simply because I felt that the roads were good. Usually, it doesn't snow in late March, especially in an El Nino year. But Ms. Nature had other plans. Two years ago, I went to Arizona around this time and it was so cold in Grand Rapids coming home that my plane had to divert to Indianapolis. Thankfully, the weather cleared up to the point that we could fly back to GR, even though we didn't get back until way late at night.

If I were Mother Nature, Winter would end exactly when it's supposed to, not in the beginning of April. This needs to be Springtime where grass grows and flowers bloom, not more torture!

But I think global warming is playing a role, too, sadly.
