David -
You certainly have the right to express your opinion on Dr. D's
business model and explain your research into other ways of doing
things, but why do so in the form of an attack? Dr. Demento has the
right to run his business however he wants. His current business
model may not be working as well as it could, but it's up to him to
figure that out, and it's his call what to do about it. Beyond that,
you say that YOU should be writing Dr. Demento's playlists? YOUR
music is better than what Dr. D plays? Do you honestly expect anyone
to back you here? Dr. Demento has been doing what he does for 30
years. He is the reason most of us are familiar with pretty much ANY
comedy music, and part of the reason many of us are making comedy
music. He has earned his status as a legend. He can run his show any
damn way he pleases.
He's also an exceedingly nice person, and deserves better than to have
this sort of self-serving diatribe thrown at him.
I really hope your mention of The FuMP in this note was not meant to
imply that your views reflect those of the FuMP as a whole, or any of
its members. They sure as hell don't reflect mine.
I also sincerely hope this post was borne of frustration, and that an
apology is forthcoming. I greatly appreciate your support of WQ and
Dementia as a whole over the years, and I'd like to think that you're
better than this.
Sincerely,
-=ShoEboX=-
