RADIO FREE CRUZE #32 "Yes, I'm A Moron. Give Me Your Cash!"
Posted March 21, 2006 DOWNLOAD HERE!
Welcome back! It's a jam-packed show this week, and I have a couple of random observations, as well as some truly awesome music. First the tunes...
- UNCROWNED/Queen Of New York
- JIM'S BIG EGO/Stress
- THE BINGES/Pay To Play
- NADA SURF/The Blankest Year
- SNOWDEN/Anti Anti
- REACTOR/Electric Love
- CRITERIA/Me On Your Front Porch
Ok...a few things on my mind this week. Gary Glitter, the former glam-rock star, has proven himself to be little more than human scum. First he's convicted in the UK in 1999 of posession of child porn, and now he's convicted in Viet Nam of actual Child Molestation...for having sex with two ELEVEN YEAR-OLD GIRLS! And yet, we still hear his one hit, Rock & Roll Part II, in stadiums and arenas all over the world at sporting events...in fact, the song is almost synoymous with NBA Basketball. Is this wrong? Every time his song is played, he makes money. Should we refuse to play, and therefore support him? Or is the music really not connected to his depravity in any way, and is therefore ok? I'd love to know what you think on this, as I am totally conflicted. Reply in the comments section here, or send your thoughts to me at cruze@radiofreecruze.com. I'll share the comments on the next show...
On the subject of inappropriate things...I mention a little girls' outfit I saw for sale at the airport in Texas. This picture isn't exactly it...but it was similar, maybe a little skimpier. Kind of like what JEAN-BENET RAMSEY'S mom made her wear in those ridiculous pagaents.
Other things discussed on the show include a MORONS IN THE NEWS story, my quest for a MORONS IN THE NEWS theme song, and a few fun facts (and a few false facts) in the 14th TRU/FLS Challenge. Enjoy the show, and I'll be back next week... (on time, I promise...!)
