On my way to the Dr’s today I was hit by the realization that although I live in a country that claims to be the most diverse and racially accepting country in the world my radio does not feel the same and worse still I feel it is both racially and religiously challenged.
As I scanned the stations looking for something I could listen to it became apparent that the only stations available with clarity worth listening to were the evangelic born again Christian channels and the Spanish spoken channels.
Don’t get me wrong I discriminate against neither of these organized groups but what’s happened to the rock channels?
I suffered the same problems when I worked for the City of Elmhurst.
Night shifts can be lonely and radio can be your only company during the witching hours.
Many times while walking my rounds with my portable radio attached to my arm I was forced to listen to how Jesus was going to save me from the burning sensation caused by a jalapeño burger.
Only when I ventured into the lab where I was expected to run a series of tests on the cities poo did I encounter anything different. Once in the lab I truly entered the twilight zone.
Yes the twighlight zone.
For the lab’s radio would only pick up a radio show called Coast to Coast.
If you are ever up past one am during the week I strongly recommend listening to this station.
It’s the wackiest most out there thing in the universe.
Reptiles living among us, UFO visitations, Big Brother and so many other subjects are dissected and discussed on a nightly basis.
Mundane for some but the live calls were awesome.
Retile humans, Alien invaders, FBI agents and psychic voodoo cults were just a few of the characters that would take the time to call in and offer insight into their chosen occupation.

All said and done though all I really want to know is what has happened to my Rock Stations.
Peassssssssssssss Out !
