"Bad English" May 18, 2007
(Week 79)
UPDATE: This program has now been uploaded to my Live365 station. Owing to interference on my home recording, I have inserted clean soundfiles but have retained my original broadcast commentary (during which there is some noise). Also, I omitted the Waring selection from my Live365 file because I did not realize how truly offensive the lyrics were until I played the recording on air. (The humor of that bygone day was not always gentle.) Also, if I'm going to offend somebody, I want it to be for a good reason. (“A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally.” -- Oscar Wilde)
The songs you are about to hear are standards--only the language is substandard. (For those who are unduly offended by poor usage, I've included a fine classical piece near the end of the program--really! It's a bit of a misnomer, though, since the Danube is actually green.) The Queen's English gets it in the neck at 8 PM EDT on WHCL.

H.R. 2060--CONGRESS TO THE RESCUE?
Congress is introducing 11th-hour legislation to give relief to internet broadcasters, H.R. 2060. Here's the lowdown from savenetradio.org:
The future of Internet radio is in immediate danger. Royalty rates for webcasters have been drastically increased by a recent ruling and are due to go into effect on May 15 (retroactive to Jan 1, 2006!). If the increased rates remain unchanged, the majority of webcasters will go bankrupt and silent on this date. Internet radio needs your help! H.R. 2060, The Internet Radio Equality Act was introduced by Representatives Jay Inslee (D-WA) and Donald Manzullo (R-IL ) to save the Internet radio industry.
Please call your member of Congress and urge that he or she co-sponsor the above legislation. The survival of RADIOLA! and all your other favorite net streams depend upon it.
