Guantanamo Commercial

Look, I’ve known Max for most of my life. We met when I was in college. I wouldn’t say I had a crush on him, but I always thought he was a bit clever, but distant. He knew what was going on in the world. I wished I could be his Frank. How times have changed. WHFS was where Max first turned up…now that legendary station flipped to “EL ZOL” Spanish and I’m running a non-comm AAA!

Ok, enough. This is not your typical public radio satire. It comes from the heart of pre-gentrified Adams Morgan (Over Martinis at the next conference I’ll tell you about passing up a condo for $50K in 1986 in the building that George S. moved into several years later---and if you get me drunk, some other good stories).

Here’s the deal, a lot of time has passed since Max and Frank told it like it was during the Reagan Administration. Luckily, The Daily Feed doesn’t sound as dated as Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s Two Tribes (oh—they were my first band interview, thank you very much).

You see, you can’t really listen to the daily feed without putting your own views and the world around you into some absurd context.

So why doesn’t WTMD air this feature? Well, we are a state university licensee and I am not sure everyone shares my sense of humor. But if you can steer your way clear of incorporating The Daily Feed into your air, DO SO. This was THE second most looked forward to feature on the WHFS of the 80s –right after Weasel’s My Three Songs.
