Q & A

Question: How funny would it be to have your mom call in to excuse you from work for the day?

Answer: Pretty funny. I'm thinking about having her do it. She totally would.

Question: What does "Muchacho" mean?

Answer: According to Merriam Webster it means a male servant in the Southwest? Fuck that! It's Spanish for "Dude" from now on and is used during the American celebration of the Fifth of May when everyone refers to each other as Muchacho. It also can be used menacingly while threatening someone if you a) have a moustache b) have an accent and c) are brandishing some type of blunt weapon. I am liberating that word and thrusting it into the Western American lexicon. Starting...right...now.

Question: When listening to the radio, what is better a "bad jam" or a "deep cut?"

Answer: I'm very glad you asked that. The bad jam and deep cut are getting rarer and rarer on the radio dial. In fact, you've got to go so far to the left on the dial now that you are milling about in iTrip radio station settings and JesusRock and swim with the sharks amongst college radio. College radio is where reggae, Punjabi, and the sound of a band saw for fifteen minutes reside. Occasionally, though, you are given a glimmer of hope and hear an hour of solid, good music and a lot of deep cuts. Deep cuts are found on college radio.

Now, bad jams are different. They are usually on the classic rock station that plays Steve Miller songs all day and still feels awesome playing Back in Black by AC/DC. Muchacho, seriously, stop playing that song. Deep cuts by AC/DC are still tight, but they have no more bad jams. On the other hand, Blue Oyster Cult still has some bad jams and deep cuts outside of "Don't Fear the Reaper" and even Reaper holds up pretty well. Reaper would be a bad jam while "Burnin' For You" still kinda clings on to deep cut status, although it's kinda a hybrid of the two. Then there is "Cities on Flame With Rock and Roll." That song is a straight deep cut and is awesome.

There is "Shakin'" by Eddie Money. I'd take it over Two Tickets anyday. That shit just gets played out and even more played out in the cryostasis of classic rock. You have nowhere to go. Nothing to build on. Bad jams get played out during "Threefer Madness" and "Block Party Weekends" and you just keep playing fuckin' Jet Airliner by Steve miller. Go to the deep cuts and create bad jams for another generation or go find new bad jams. Please DJ bring back the deep cuts and bad jams.

This is the part where I start singing to the DJ like in a J Lo song.
