boycott? What da hey -- Could you provide a bit more info on this?

Look - I am an old underground DJ = Did not knuckle under to Play List -
sure as heck did not do commercials - less I agreed with the message -  and
ran the station my way - when on air

Do not think I was of the Clyde Clifford or MOD Washington or KINT FM El
Paso underground caliber, just loved the sounds as part of a SHOW and did
my best to make it all flow together as a Show

What is your trip?
