THE LATEST IN LEE & WOLFE NEWS:
Welcome to the many new folks on the newsletter list this week! Remember, you can catch up with Lee & Wolfe news by reading back issues on the website [
http://v91.simplenet.com/leewolfe/fanzine.htm ], and you can easily be removed from, or added to, the list by writing to radiogods@hotmail.com and saying so."The Show Must Go On"
A good many people have asked us about the future of the Lee & Wolfe show, the website, the newsletter, and so on. Good question, since I, Lee, am finally graduating from The University of Alabama law school on May 16th. A DJ with a JD (Juris Doctorate)... strange world we live in. So here’s the low down on the future of the Lee & Wolfe show:
As you all know, we’re actively seeking commercial employment. We’ll almost certainly not going to find it before the end of the semester (3 more shows). Therefore, we’d like to keep doing the show until we find a paying job and begin our tract to fame and fortune and being invited to Hugh Hefner parties. Luckily, WVUA will allow us to keep doing our show through the summer semester. Obviously, as soon as we find a job, there will be a grandiose final show celebration, and then we’re outie. Sometime in August will be the last possible Lee & Wolfe show.
What will happen with the website: Nothing much different. It will continue on for as long as there is not nuclear holocaust, although theoretically, the internet was designed to allow for information interchange in just such a case. China seems to be the only possible threat, unless Russia experiences a nationalistic revolution of some sort... but I digress to politics. The website is a personal endeavor of mine and Wolfe’s, and we won’t stop adding content to it whether we find a commercial job or not. So plan to keep visiting ‘til you’re old and gray. Same goes for the newsletter. Our life expectancy theoretically carries us through about 2045.
The job opportunity in northern Alabama continues to look good, but even that statement has me bordering on a jinx. Cross your fingers, throw wood over your shoulder, and knock on salt.
"Rick and Bubba Playing Nice?"
Not familiar with the Rick and Bubba saga? Catch up with the story at [
http://v91.simplenet.com/leewolfe/fatmen.htm ]!Playing nice--or maybe just whining. Two things happened this week regarding our rotund radio bretheren. #1: Intern Rachael gave a call to R&B last week. We don’t blame her much for that, since she was a fairly regular R&B listener in the past, and there was no history of her being hung up on. They call her "Tuscaloosa Rachael." As soon as they got her on the air came the question "Why are Lee & Wolfe bein’ so mean?" (Say the following sentence to the tune of ‘nanny nanny boo boo’) Someone found the website.... Heh, heh. Other choice comments: "We didn’t say anything mean at the hockey game." "We didn’t know that was Wolfe that got hung up on. It was just an accident." "We wanna HELP ‘em." So what the heck, we thought. We wrote them a nice handwritten letter saying we’d be more than happy to go back to the way things were, and visit, and interact again. As Michael Jackson once said "I’m a lover, not a fighter." We also sent them a copy of our demo CD for radio stations. Nice, huh?
Then we got the following e-mail from their webmaster...
"Well....guys.....this [the free CD offer on the website] was a great idea! Unfortunately..or..fortunately, we have not ran out of fax paper yet...the stats - no phone calls, no emails and only one fax. Maybe the "troops" are not morning "troopers". Keep up the good award winning work on Friday nights. See, all of that hard work for one night does pay off (ok....maybe pay is not a good word). We would love to have you up at the studio again (if we can persuade upper management )....maybe by then all of the refurbishing will be completed. Don't forget us when you take over the Huntsville market and start bringing in the dough. ....you might be our last hope to getting back on in Huntsville (we actually had enough listeners that we could count them on two hands....well that is actually as high as we can count)! Hope to see you at our next event in
Birmingham. Tell Rachael we said hello! Ryan Greenwood, Rick and Bubba Webmaster"
Oooo. Do you take this as a challenge? We don’t. Do you? I mean, you sure COULD take it as a challege. We, of course, wouldn’t encourage you to read the free Lee & Wolfe CD offer and R&B story at [
http://v91.simplenet.com/leewolfe/fatmen.htm ]. You know, it’s not like the guy is teasing us or anything. Their phone number is 1-888-FAT-RADIO (328-7236), their fax number is 1-888-WE-BE-BIG (932-3244) -- remember it's toll-free, their e-mail adresses are bubba@rickandbubba.com, speedy@rickandbubba.com, and their home station's e-mail is q104@wqen.org. And there’s no particular reason we’re telling you this again.
COMING UP ON THE SHOW:
"Band-wise"
This week, Friday, April 24th, we’re very lucky to have musical guests The Swingin’ Neckbreakers! They’ll go on just after the news at 6 o’clock, since we’re once again experiencing Broadcastus Interruptus at 7pm by ANOTHER MOTHER FU--- I mean, by a baseball game. You can read some about The Swingin’ Neckbreakers at [
http://www.juvalamu.com/neck ]. Their new CD is called "Kick Your Ass," so Wolfe is bringing his sword to the show just in case. As their press kit puts it, "’Kick Your Ass’ pounds your posterior while allowing you to enjoy every minute of it." Kinky."Future-wise"
Whup out your day planners. Here’s the plan for the remainder of the spring semester... May 1st—The Lee & Wolfe Third Anniversary Show. A gala event, with clips from the past year and some previous, as well as live music from past performances. If anyone has a particular request for that show, maybe something you heard long ago and want to hear again to see if we really said what you though we said, just e-mail! May 8th—The Lee & Wolfe Spring 1998 Countdown Show. It will start at FOUR o’clock instead of five on that day since there’s yet ANOTHER baseball game at seven on the 8th of May. We’d rather do a traditional Top 30 instead of 15. Our thanks to DJs Chris and Roy for giving up some of their shift to acomodate!!
ON THE WEBSITE:
"Freeze-Frame!"
If you can stop humming the J. Geils Band song for a moment, read on. We added TONS of pictures to the website from recent Lee & Wolfe history, to shock and amaze you. View Snow-Gimpy-Thing, a 2-inch-thick ribeye cookout, a panoramic shot of Philadelphia, Lee as a Rasta, interviewing a frog, and so forth. The Picture Pages begin on the website at [
http://v91.simplenet.com/leewolfe/picpages/picpages.htm ]."No, Really, the Show Is Live"
For the many new recipients of the Fun-O-Rama, we want to remind you that the show is available LIVE on the net, in Real Audio. Get the free Real Player program at [
http://www.real.com ], then mosey on over to the live show page on the website at [ http://v91.simplenet.com/leewolfe/audio/liveshow.htm ].
THE STRANGEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE:
If you think you’ve wasted time in your life, you’re wrong unless you’ve spent time just watching what other people are searching for on the net. At this address [
http://voyeur.mckinley.com/cgi-bin/voyeur_queries.cgi ] you can see what folks are searching for on the Magellan search engine. You can even click on the entries and see what they found. Or get a life instead. Why, just a moment ago, I saw someone searching for "Happy AND Weed." Why, exactly did the chicken cross the road? Well, you wouldn’t believe the sheer volume of answers to that question at this website: [ http://nyquist.ee.ualberta.ca/~dawe/chickenjoke.html ]. And... are you familiar with the "Ate My Balls" phenomenon on the internet? Well, here’s your introduction. Look at the Mr. T. Ate My Balls Homepage that started it all at [ http://www.cen.uiuc.edu/~nkpatel/mr.t/index.html ] . Don’t believe me when I say this is a phenomenon? Fine. Go to [ http://www.yahoo.com/Entertainment/Humor__Jokes__and_Fun/Tasteless_Humor ] and click on "Ate My Balls." I dare you.Thanks again to all of you (such as Kinko’s Michael) for reading, listening, and writing...
