Throwing Boat Anchors To A Drowning Man
Our local radio poll is complete and over 90% of you would rather repeatedly jam a rusty knitting needle into your ear for twenty-four hours than listen to either the Willie Clark or the Chris Kroc shows on KSTP. In fact, poor Willie only garnered three votes. His recently launched morning show on KSTP AM-1500 is obviously in trouble and management has decided to act. Apparently in the radio business, the worst thing you can hear is, "I'm from management and I'm here to help."
And "help" they did by supplementing Willie's show by adding the Twin Towers of Babble otherwise known as the Polichicks, usually heard in the coveted 7am-10am Sunday morning time slot. That's like parking a gas tanker at a railroad crossing in hopes of stopping the runaway train.
I didn't think it was possible, but after listening to a bit of the show this morning, I actually feel sorry for Willie. Talk about emasculating. If Willie had any stones at all, he'd tell KSTP to take this job and shove it, pack up his cat, and make for South Dakota without delay. But I don't see that happening. Willie's more like Gil from The Simpson's, willing to suffer almost any humiliation and degradation just to hold on to his job a little bit longer. The wolf may soon be at ol' Willie's door once again.
