The other day by chance I caught a snippet of a conversation on 790 AM between Milo Hamilton and the two giggling idiots who were hosting the call-in show he was on. Those two host guys really sucked, whoever they were (could these be the infamous Mongrels Of Midday I have heard mentioned in the TZ?) They apparently were mostly good at snickering like schoolgirls at some private joke. They made Milo seem measured and erudite by comparison and, you know, that is saying something.
Then later, on the same station (I think) was Charlie Palillo, who apparently styles himself as Houston sports talk radio’s Cato the Elder, ending every droning utterance and oration he makes with the statement, “Ceterum censeo Purpuræ esse delendam.” “And therefore, I conclude that Purpura must be destroyed.” Whatever.
I don’t usually have time to keep up with Houston sports talk radio, praise Allah. I live ninety miles away and in a different world most of the time. Not that one need spend a lot of time and effort keeping up. It is sort of like a soap opera. You can turn it off and then back on again nine or ten months later, and catch up on everything in about five minutes.
I generally make it a habit to not listen to AM radio anyway, especially on the road. But I broke the bracket for the XM and won’t be able to repair it until this weekend, and the FM I’ve heard isn’t sufficient for my needs. But I’ll be goddamned if I am going to spend the next few days listening to mewling retards. Guess it is time to get out the old Herbie Mann/Memphis Underground LPs, and burn me a CD or two for the road.Read More
