Date Posted: 13:05:01 11/15/06 Wed I don't know what marketing genius came up with 94.1 The Snap, but I have taken it off my pre-set stations. It's horrible. I didn't personally care for the recycled fluff that the Buzz played, but you were the highlight of my day and I was unfailingly loyal to the station because of your show. The SNAP can bite me. Snap on that, you money-grubbing turds. Hope to hear you back in Memphis, soon! |

Date Posted: 09:01:08 11/15/06 Wed I think that it is so wrong for Memphis to have gotten rid of the morning show. I am craving to hear your show on again and I don't care what Memphis station picks it up b/c they will gain me as a listener for good. The station that got rid of the show is horrible. I am not sure what Genre they think they are catering to, but they don't even have DJ's. All I hear is the poor pathetic music that they play and it is depressing. I will NEVER listen to them again! |

Date Posted: 18:21:05 11/13/06 Mon I must say when Memphis picked up Kidd Kraddick In The Morning I was not sure if I would like it, having been used to our Brad and Dana (who got swapped to the afternoons) but I gave it a chance and fell in love with the show! Now without warning everything has been changed to total crap and I listen to my iPod whenever I'm in the car now. I'm having Kidd Kraddick withdrawals and now I don't know if Taylor is still seeing C.B. from Blue October. Their show here at The Daisy halloween night was awesome and I can see why she likes him! I hope there is some way to get things changed on the radio but I don't see it happening. |

SUCK(now they are broke and still SUCKY). Hopefully when they realize their ratings have not improved because they SUCK, they will bring yall back!! That is the only thing that will bring me back to listening to SUCKY 94.1 The SUCKY snap-- Don't worry I'm not that bitter:) Thanks guys for making mornings fun even if it was only for a little while.

I don't understand why they must take away the one thing that helped me wake up and bring a smile to my face so early in the morning. I loved hearing about their lives and just the funny things that came their way. How am i supposed to keep up with Kelly and the baby or Big Al's things he knows nothing about, or Kidds ability to make everything smoothly, or Taylor's laugh and statements she makes, and JC's comments and new bits he provides because he goes out and makes a fool of himself, or Shannon's problems with every day life. I miss you guys!!! Now my mornings are slow and I have nothing to get me going. Thanks for being there and hopefully I can hear you guys again. I love KIDD KRADDICK IN THE MORNING!!! |

Seriously, I cannot even wake up in the mornings any more. I've gotten spoiled to laughing at least 5 minutes after the radio alarm goes off. If you knew me, you would say that Kidd Kraddick and the gang must have been miracle workers. They actually made me a morning person. I just hate the new format. I'm now completely boycotting radio and have switched to XM radio fulltime. This is why radio is failing miserably in general. |

Date Posted: 13:41:39 11/06/06 Mon Just a thought - the company that bought out 94.1 and three or four other stations...they own other radio stations in Memphis right? Well if so, maybe they have the new "SNAP" set up so that it doesn't matter if it bombs. Let me try to explain - no real dj, elevator music, and other than that, nothing human or real invested in what you hear on their station, no huge cost invested on their part. They have not addressed this issue despite the numerous complaints and emails, faxes, etc. that they must have gotten, have they? Maybe this was the plan - purchase 94.1, who cares about the content, the listeners will go to another station that unbeknownst to the listener, is owned by the same company. They come out ahead...big business - they don't care about the little guy. I don't mean stop what we are doing by any means. I miss Kidd and the show alot, it's almost overwhelming. Maybe someone out there has some answers to my questions... Just a thought. |

Alas, no luck - yet. I really enjoy the morning show and I listen to my own cd's in protest of listening to another morning show.

Date Posted: 07:23:57 11/05/06 Sun I am the type of person to stay on a radio station if I like it and not change my station.So it was by chance that I was flipping the station one day and found kidd kraddick and since that day I was hooked and I never switched the station. I LOVED the format of the buzz with kidd in the morning and brad and dana in the afternoon.I have never laughed so hard as when Im listening to the station.Everyone seemed to be real and not a character that they were trying to portray.I really felt connected to them.So when the day came that I really need to hear them because I was going through a reallllly rough time I turned the station on and heard some crap ass music.That just made the day worse. Why would any sane person take something that is a success and turn it into something that will be a complete failure.How stupid and retarded can someone be.I hope they bring kidd back along with all the djs that were on the station.We love yall.I will be boycotting the crap station until the bring the old format back.. |

I understand all Corporations have a bottom line to meet so we should all help them meet this line...quickly. In fact bottom through to the Red. Just simply stop listening to the stations guys and gals. I have worked with Corporations for a long time and all they notice are the dollar signs. Rantings and ravings do not necessarily help but when Mr. CEO goes to buy his next Benz...you will get his attention. I would suggest listening CDs, satellite radio, etc. I miss you all!! :( |

Date Posted: 19:52:25 11/03/06 Fri I can't believe that 94.1 The Buzz has been pulled from Memphis Listeners. The last thing we needed was one more black station playing that kind of music. Nails screeching on a chalk board is less excruciating pain than what my ears have to endure when I accidently skim past that station. And what on earth was that robotic countdown... the countdown to the end of the world, another terrosit attack, Elvis re-appearing, what????? Any POTENTIAL listener with half a brain would not listen after having to hear 4 days of counting to "who knows what". Please Kidd forgive them for this HUGE mistake and come back. Memphis needs good music....our ears deserve it!!!!!!!!! |

Date Posted: 19:33:24 11/03/06 Fri I am soooooo upset that the gang is gone. I had been listening to them since March 2006 every M-F from 6-10. I first learned of Kidd and the gang when my little brother Christopher went on the Kidd's Kids Trip in 2004. He passed 11/12/05 from ependymoma brain cancer and I was so thrilled that I was able to have the gang included in my daily routine since they were a part of my brother's life but now that is no longer. I don't like the new format and I wish they were back. I hope they are able to figure out a way to make us smile again. |

If you didn't like the show so much, then turn the station. Don't come onto someones website to tell them how much you disliked them and that you are glad they are gone. And what is this about them not being good enough for Memphis? Are you serious? I mean come on. Seriously. Are we talking about the same Memphis here? Memphis, TN is a great little big city but it is definitely not too good for anybody. Have you checked our crime rate lately? Or, since this is a radio website, listened to our stations lately? They play the same thing on every station over and over again. Kidd Kraddick was the only thing, in my opinion, worth listening to in the mornings. If you don't agree then we will have to agree to disagree. Don't listen, it's that easy. And I honestly don't think any of the staff at Kidd Kraddick in the Morning is really going to be that heartbroken someone from good ole Memphis,Tn doesn't care for them. You are one voice among a thousand yells. And frankly, it's just rude. And I know that no Mama in Memphis,TN is capable of raising a rude young man. That is one thing we do in fact have going for us. Our southern hospitality. |

It was the only morning show that I have ever listened to that made me want to stay in my car all morning! I am almost in denial about this situation. I really don't want to believe that I can't just turn on my radio in the morning and listen to your show or even continue to listen to that station after your show is over. The "music" they are playing is lame! The new station is HORRIBLE and I refuse to listen to it. I truly hope and pray I am able to hear all of you again very soon on the radio here. Miss you bunches! |

Date Posted: 12:31:15 11/02/06 Thu I finally sent my email to Mr. Sandman at Entercom and I am thinking about changing the name and stuff and not only mailing it to Entercom but faxing it to them with the numbers ya'll have posted here. Here is a copy of the email I sent...it is a little long. Now I sit with baited breath for his reply...not that I care cause he will probably just write what he wrote everyone else...oh yeah the email here it is: Dear Mr. Sandman, I have to say when I got in my car on Monday morning to drop my nephew off at school and head to work I was suprisingly greeted by a robotic voice counting down time but no Kidd Kraddick in the Morning. I just thought that maybe the station was some techinal difficulities no biggie I would listen tomorrow. Then on my way home from work I got into my car hoping to listen to Brad and Dana but when it came time for the commercials I heard something about Snap 94.1. So when I got home I instantly went online to see if my worst fears had been realized and guess what they were. No more Kidd Kraddick. No more Brad and Dana. No more 94.1 The Buzz. OK when I started to write this email it was my honest intention to be as curtious and nice as I could be but the more I sit here and type the more I think about everything that your company did and the angrier I become. I understand that your company spent $100,000.00 studying demographics and everything and this is what initially led to this change...but my question to you Mr. Sandman did it ever occur to you your research was wrong. Now I realize your compnay might be second guessing all that money they spent on this research because I know I am not the only one sending you an email expressing my disgust with your company and your desicion to change 94.1 completely and to add insult to injury you take a Memphis Radio personality that everyone knows no matter what station they listen to and in my own honest opinion that is only one of several stupid mistakes made by your company. Did it ever occur to you and your company to ask the actual listener's of the Buzz what they might think about the change? I'm guessing from the change you didn't because if you would have you would have gotten some "No's" and possibly some very vehement "Hell no's". Did your researchers listen to the station? I am going to take a guess and say "no". Did your researchers go out to where some of the Buzz personalities were going to be to see all of the fans of the DJs? Again I am going to take a stab and say "no". Because again with all of this you and your idiotic company would have realized that changing the Buzz would be a huge mistake. Obviously we liked the station the way it was before or we wouldn't be expressing such anger at your company's stupidity and also we wouldn't have listened. You know I probably could live with the change in the music format (I seriously doubt it though) as long as the radio personalities that I love were still there, meaning Kidd Kraddick and Brad and Dana because they were my main reasoning for listening to 94.1. I also loved the music played on that station. There are several other stations in Memphis and surrounding Memphis that plays the same type of music now heard on Crap...ummm I mean Snap 94.1. Why can't there be some variety? When you flip through stations and now here on three seperate stations the same exact song something needs to be done...OH and I am willing to bet the three stations were all Entercom owned...go figure. Mr. Sandman I went to the Entercom website just to do some research and I found this: We have a Hot AC, WMBZ (with KILLER 18-34 demo ranking), the only AC radio station, WRVR (Dominating ""At Work listening"" and Upscale Women), Progressive Talk-AM (Air America). We call it the ""Wall of Women"". You may call it a great opportunity to have a lot of fun and make a lot of money This is part of your advertisement on your site for getting new employees. I wonder why it says in parentheses next to WMBZ which just so happens to be the call letters for 94.1 that you have a KILLER 18-34 demo ranking...hmmm...don't you think that is a little bit contridictory. I mean first you say that your expensive study shows that there was no place for 94.1 The Buzz but then you have on your website (and by the way in another advertisement on the same page you mention WMBZ as being associated with the station 94.1 The Buzz so I know you are talking about them) this bit of information. So which one are you trying to mislead us with the fact the Buzz does not have place in Memphis or the fact that the Buzz had a KILLER demo ranking. Come on Mr. Sandman which is it!! Look instead of feeding us lies we would like the truth. I am going to make a predicition within the next few weeks your rankings will go down and I mean WAYYYYYYY down because of this and the loyal listeners of the Buzz aren't going to stand for this. It just sickens me to think that big companies can come in buy out other ones and just start making changes and then even after much uproar from the people they have affected the company couldn't care less because as long as they have their way then all is well and good. I will be willing to listen to any Entercom station if 94.1 was brought back to the way WE THE LISTENERS liked it as the Buzz. I also predict that you probably won't but still doesn't make what you did right. Because again if you would have asked your LISTENERS - ya know the ones who help you make money buy listening and then hearing advertisements and supporting them - the change would have never happened. Sincerely, Mindy S. Livid in Mississippi |

Date Posted: 11:21:25 11/01/06 Wed Its pretty ridiculous that they keep people in the dark but its not hard to figure out what went down if you know the right things... This is a long one and sorry for anyone who loses their attention half way through! Basically, Entercom Corporation (a corporate radio owner) bought some of CBS Radio Group's radio stations, including those in Memphis. For those who are unaware of how corporate radio works is that the stations are no longer "individual" like they once were, they now have several stations operating out of one building with the marketing, promotions, and management staff all working to promote the "cluster" as a whole. They still have a separate staff of DJs to man each station, to promote consistency and identity with the listener. What happened in this acquisition is that they are now merging two "clusters" into one "cluster." Meaning, they have to cut on-air AND off-air staff from several stations. Very few radio cities, or "markets" have independent radio stations, but here in Memphis we have a locally owned group called Memphis Radio Group which holds Q107.5 among others. It is owned by George Flinn. For the poster that suggested people get together and make their own station, I want you to realize that it takes millions of dollars to buy and operate a broadcast tower suitable for FM. Not only that, another corporate radio trick is that they hog up all the open frequencies so that no one else can get them. Mr. Flinn has a dedication and pocketbook to back him up. We are not so lucky. How can we fix this problem? We can't. Steve Sandman is now over the Entercom and former CBS holdings. It is most likely he will not bring back Kidd Kraddick based on the emails I have seen people post. If there is more feedback than outcry, it may be more useful. Keep calling, keep emailing. If anything, pledge your listenership. These guys read the ratings but they LIVE by advertisers. If they aren't getting the ad dollars rolling in, you bet your momma that they'll change things to try to get their money. |

Kind of like people who boycott WalMart. yeah you have to go to walmart sometimes, but not all the time. For instance, if you have the choice between going to restaurant A and restaurant B, and A advertises on the station, don't go to A as often. Just like with a movie or tv show that may be against your morals, don't go out of your way to see it. And of course write intelligent letters, emails, etc to the appropriate people, such as the local General manager as people have been doing. Corporate CEOS get you nowhere, they don't know what happens on the local level. |

I switched to XM radio a while back because Memphis radio was lacking. The only station I listened to was 94.1 until Kramer left then they started with the 80's weekend, that sent me to XM. When Kidd came on I would listen to him only. My radio pretty much stays on XM now since Memphis radio has become void again. XM would take away advertiser dollars, maybe then Entercom or whoever will listen. |

This change was made after specific Memphis market research warranted it to happen. It is certainly your choice to listen to a non- Entercom radio stations which would be a shame because we have some great brands in this market, but there are a lot of great radio stations in Memphis from which to choose.

The show is well planned, funny, played current music, and is most of all uplifting. How many stations do we need that play "WHATEVER". I'm not sure who was surveyed, but I want a recount. |

Date Posted: 04:56:20 11/02/06 Thu It kills me that they (the big corporate people) cancle everything all at once. Dana and Brad had alluded to some changes, but no one was prepared for this. I listened to the Buzz from sun up to sun down, having to drive about 3 hours daily. Now what? I can't just switch over to another station; they are all going through changes as well. I guess I'll just listen to CDs |

If Steve Sandman and the rest of the Entercom flunkies think that I'll switch to one of their other local stations, they are dead wrong. Instead, I'm listening to out of town radio stations on line. Like me, I hope you all refuse to settle for less and let your voice be heard. |

Traffic was actually no big deal when you guys were on in the morning. And the Snap guy is disturbing- I am amazed that they actually picked that guy to be the voice of a radio station marketed to women 18-49. He's not personable AT ALL- an incredible turn off. Kidd Kraddick's great- it's like you know everybody on the show in the morning and they know you and you all just drive to work together. And newsflash Entercom- I actually stayed with the station straight through the commercials when it was 94.1 The Buzz |

I have a hard time waking up and going to work knowing they are all at home, and there is nothing more that I want than to be with them. I was extremley misserable until you came along. Big AL, Kellie, Kid, Shannon, JC, and Taylor, you are incredible and have won me over to the point that I was excited about listening to you all while I got ready and the drive to work was awesome!!!! You were the only thing that helped me to leave my wife and kids to go support them. Now you are gone, and it is Sucksville Again.

Author: Riley (LIVID) [ Edit | View ] |
Date Posted: 12:22:10 11/01/06 Wed Here is a copy of the letter I sent to the Editor of the Commercial Appeal here in Memphis. Dear Editor, I know I am not the only listener in the Mid-South to ask their selves this question, “What is happening to Memphis Radio?” The recent purchase of several Memphis radio stations by ENTERCOM has turned things upside down for the people of Memphis. First of all, the former 94.1 the Buzz was taken over by a freaky robot voice last weekend with a countdown that personally had me a little scared. We all wake up Monday morning with the new Crap; I mean SNAP 94.1 and NO KIDD KRADDICK. Next I hear that one of the senior on-air personalities in Memphis, FM100’s Steve Conlee was fired. Both radio stations have changed the genres of music that is played. All of the changes were made by ENTERCOM CORP. I understand that ENTERCOM owns these stations, and they have the right to make changes as they see fit. An official from Entercom stated in an email to a listener that Entercom spent $100,000.dollars in extensive consumer research. What consumers did they ask? Not me. Apparently they did not ask the thousands of consumers calling and emailing Entercom and their stations in the Mid-South. Entercom needs to read and listen to the feedback and outcry from the fans. They got rid of the top two morning shows in Memphis and who knows what changes are coming. All I am asking is for someone to listen to us. The only way we are going to be heard is if we keep sending emails and if the phone calls from concerned and upset listeners keep pouring in. Sincerely, A concerned (livid) listener. |

Author: Jessica [ Edit | View ] |
Date Posted: 11:40:55 11/01/06 Wed Here is an article in the Commercial Appeal concerning Entercom and how they are buying local stations and making "cut-backs". 'End of an era,' says FM fixture since 1979 By Michael Lollar Contact November 1, 2006 Steve Conley, one of the best-known names in local radio for more than a decade, is off the air as a disk jockey and on-air personality at WMC FM 100. Conley, at FM 100 since 1979 and part of an on-air team with Ron Olson for almost 13 years, said he was told Monday he was being let go along with the station's market manager Terry Wood and night deejay Garner Miller. "I was flabbergasted," said Conley, 53, who said the decision was made by Entercom Communications, which bought the station along with 15 other stations around the country. Wood, 64, said Entercom characterized the cutbacks as "eliminated jobs" and included one other on-air personality, deejay Twitch at FM 93X. Three other former CBS employees also were let go, he said. Wood said Entercom already had a market manager in Memphis, Steve Sandman at WRVR-FM 104, and chose to let him assume the management role for all locally owned Entercom stations. "That was basically an economic decision. They don't need two (managers)," he said. Sandman said Tuesday that Entercom's operation of FM 100 begins effective today, but he said he cannot comment on personnel decisions. Wood said Entercom offered no explanation why it chose to eliminate specific personalities. He said he did work Tuesday, his last day, and spent part of the day fielding calls from "irate callers" upset that Conley was let go. Conley had been a station programmer when he joined Olson on the air. "We played off each other very well," he said, with Olson often coming off the jokester to Conley's straight man. Conley said he isn't sure what he will do next, except that he wants to remain in Memphis. He moved to the city from his hometown of Milwaukee in 1979, and described that as a time when music and radio played a more vital role in the fabric of society. "Music today is so diluted from the strength and impact and excitement you used to have," Conley said. "In a way it's kind of an end of an era. Radio is changing now with iPods, satellite and all of that. Now commercial radio is having to redefine itself because of these new technologies, and it's getting really tight." Conley said the technological changes leave him "kind of sad. Mass media is becoming so fragmented now. Everybody walks around in their own little world. We used to be able to mobilize tons of people even if it was just to buy a gas grill." Now, he said, FM 100, which used to have radio ratings with a 14 share, has to struggle to get a 6 or 7 rating because of this fragmenting audience. Music has changed, too. "Music labels don't develop acts anymore. It's all so disposable. What are they going to do for golden oldies in generations to come?" -- Michael Lollar: 529-2793 |

After I heard them the first time I fell in love with the show. I can't begin to describe the c--- that has replaced it. Do you really think the listeners of 94.1 are going to embrace this c---.I now have nothing to listen to in Memphis. Please reconsider and bring them back.

Date Posted: 08:12:11 11/01/06 Wed Picking up on what someone else suggested about a starting a new station in DeSoto County that's not owned by Entercom....how could all of us get together and get an independent station or something started in DeSoto County or somewhere around the area and bring Brad & Dana, Steve Conley and Twitch to work together on one heckuva great new radio station that's playing the mix like 94.1 had? All of us are missing it and wanting it and it sure ain't on the Memphis dial anymore. Could we really do something to help make it happen? |

Date Posted: 08:11:22 11/01/06 Wed I knew that something was going on when I kept hearing that god awful counting. I was afraid that that was what was happeneing, and I was right. I miss you guys already. What will I do in the mornings now before I get to work. I started to listed to you all when Kelly was about to have her procedure done, and I loved you all from the moment that I heard you. I don't know what I will do without Big Al's Pimp Tales. I'm all torn up over this. I rush to work just so I don't miss anything. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed and hope that ya'll will be back soon. I love you guys and miss you..... |

Date Posted: 08:07:31 11/01/06 Wed I grew up listening to your show in Dallas. I then went off to college in New Orleans and was able to hear you guys then. When the "real world" kicked in I moved to Memphis-able to listen. Although I've been away from home for about 6 years but at least had you guys to bring home to me. How do we get you back on the air in Memphis? What happened?!?!? |

Date Posted: 08:05:24 11/01/06 Wed It is bad enough that the new radio station SUCKS! But I can't believe they took Kidd away from us! I am never listening to 94.1 (Snap or whatever the crap it is)- this is my silent protest. We need to call other radio stations and tell them to get Kidd on in the mornings. It's not like any of the Memphis morning shows are any good!!!! Attention Kidd Kraddick marketing dept - CALL 107.5 KISS FM in Memphis and get them to put you guys on!! Thanks, Shannon |

Date Posted: 08:05:12 11/01/06 Wed I turned on 94.1 to listen to the show last monday morning, but you weren't on! SNAP took you guys away from me/us! BAD move on their part...i'm sure they are losing listeners daily because of this. I'm feeling withdrawals already, you are the only morning show that is awesome! Now how will I start my dad out with a laugh? Please come back to Memphis! |

Date Posted: 07:54:18 11/01/06 Wed I've lived in the Memphis area all my life, and Kidd is the first morning show I've truly enjoyed. Please find a way to bring your show back to Memphis. Does DeSoto County, MS have a possible station since it seems the same folks own nearly all the Memphis radio stations??? The Snap format is truly bad. I don't know who will actually listen to it. I'm considering XM radio in my car now. |

Date Posted: 06:42:56 11/01/06 Wed My morning just isn't the same without you!!! I grew up listening to you in Dallas/Fort Worth, and was thrilled when you made it to Lubbock (where I went to college) and finally to Memphis (where I now live). I can't stand my commute any more - the other local morning shows really pale compared to yours. I am going crazy - I hope that you will find a home here in Memphis soon! My husband is a fan too - and even he has been complaining this week about you not being on the air. We miss you - and can't wait to have you back!!!!!!!! |

Date Posted: 06:25:16 11/01/06 Wed I worked in an area previously where I would listen to you on (103.9, Tupelo, MS) and then when I took a job in Memphis I was distraught because I thought I would not be able to listen to you any longer. Then one day on my way to work, I was scanning the stations and it was too good to be true, it was kidd kraddick and Al and Kellie - I was so excited to know that we were back together again (it was fate). Then, I was on my way to work Monday morning and tuned into my favorite radio station (94.1) but to my surpise, my station no longer exist and worse than that, kidd kraddick was gone! No warning or nothing, just GONE! We want you back, we want you back! |

Date Posted: 06:04:02 11/01/06 Wed I tried really hard in the car this morning to TOLERATE FM100 and 107.5, but I just can't do it. Once you've experienced KKITM, their is no way you can settle for anything less. This is crap. At least I can listen online, but that dumb fart Steve Sandman (VP/Marketing manager) is sticking by the decision and even told me in an email that at least I can still listen on line. It's like they don't even want our business. You can email the dumb fart at ssandman@entercom.com |

Date Posted: 22:05:06 10/31/06 Tue I posted a comment on Kidd's Myspace last night...I am still upset. I think I finally settled on a station this am to listen to. Did Memphis really need another Urban/R&B/rap music station? It seems to me (maybe it's just me being sensitive) whenever Memphis gets a station that I like, plays fairly decent music and has good morning show that are funny and clean...they change the format. Why did the have to "fix something that wasn't broke?" It ruined my weekend and my week has been worse because I don't have Kidd to listen to. |

Date Posted: 21:50:01 10/31/06 Tue Okay, I admit. I am not crazy about the format that The Buzz had, but I really enjoyed 80's weekends. Kidd Kraddick's show was extremely superior to the raunch that is Rover's show on 93X. I have a CD player in my car that I rarely used in the mornings while taking my 30 minute drive to work, now I will be using it everyday since KKITM is no longer on any Memphis stations. And it really sucks that they ditched Dana (but Brad is possibly still there?) and their Beale Street Journal. They completely had me hooked to that thing. If anyone hears of it starting back up anywhere, or a different station taking on Kidd's show please spread the word. It's funny that Crap 94.1 had to spend $100,000 in research to find out that they were going to be making another crap format. There already has to be at least 4 stations like that in Memphis now, or ones that you could mix to get this junk. And they bought 93X too? What are they going to turn them into? Another adult contemporary station? Oh well, it's not like 93X was even as heavy as they claimed to be. And 94.1 The CRap's little plug-in self promotional that says "X number of women can't be wrong"? They sure as hell can, and ythis is one woman who will be listening to her CDs for a long time now. Thanks for ruining the 80's weekend last weekend, you dolts. |
