Probably 2/3s of what I play is instrumental anyway, but you forget about stuff like Sun City Girls tracks where they go off with tourettes syndrome sessions in the middle of a song and stuff. I've definitely had some stuff slip through that made me sweat out the rest of the week wondering if I still had a show, or for that matter a station, a few times.
What's the story on the show you lost? |
The FCC took it away. Shut down the whole station. It was a pirate station. The owner fought the FCC once before, about 5 years ago, and WON, and I think he was feeling pretty cocky, thinking they wouldn't come after him again. Well, they did. Apparently some listener called the FCC and complained about profanity, and a couple of goons showed up on this guy's doorstep and made him shut down. They also asked for the names of all the DJs (gulp) but he told them he knew us only by our DJ names, and anyway, oops, what do you know, the computer file he kept them on was accidentally deleted somehow...
