Morning Commute
 |
| Each morning for over 9 years I have made the commute from Venice Beach to Hollywood. Usually taking the 10 Freeway to Fairfax or La Brea Ave, and each morning I face an a abundance amount of traffic and waste so much time driving 14 miles. |
| n the morning I have listen to a variety of radio programs. Including Jamie Frosty and Frank, Mark and Brian, Jamie and Danny, Valentine in the morning, and Kevin and Bean. |
| Years ago I enjoyed listening to Jamie Frosty and Frank, then Danny Bonaduce was introduced in 1999, but they kept on Jamie White who was unabashedly rude and loud, and that screwed everything up for me. She reminded me of white trash, but enjoyed the unpredictable things that came out of Danny’s mouth. In fact I met him at Fredrick’s of Hollywood on Hollywood Blvd on one of the radio show’s promotion. He’s a cool guy, a little mixed up, but cool. Once Danny got fired from the radio show I stopped listening and that show went straight down hill. Apparently Danny Bonaduce also filed suit against Jamie White on September 2005 for allegedly slandering him on air while he was in rehab. He claims she lied about him showing up to work under the influence of drugs. I never heard of the outcome of that or don’t really care to. |
| Mark and Brian are always a go-to, Mark Thompson and Brian Phelps debuted at KLOS back in September 1987, though I didn’t start listening to them till 2003. But lately I find that Mark is the only one that finds Brian’s funny. There older stuff is good and has it’s humor, but what there dishing out now is two old men that think they’re funny. |
| would like the new program ‘Valentine in the Morning’, but they play a lot of music and when I do tune in it seems like Valentine is just talking about some product placement. So I don’t tune in very much. |
| Then there is Kevin and Bean who out of all of them now listen to the most. Kevin Ryder and Gene “Bean” Baxter debuted on KROQ on December 31, 1989, but again I didn’t start listening to them till like 2001. They are strange yet humorous, but I only like maybe about 10% of the music KROQ plays, and they play an entire song after each advertisement in their morning program. Which is why I bounce around and listen to the others. |
