Ain't No Thing - Week 1
The weather was splendid on Sunday afternoon and I went for a long walk, just over 9 miles. I used the opportunity to hear the first installment of "The Next Big Thing" on KSTP-AM 1500. This is an audition / amateur hour where you can get a two hour gig with a good audition tape.
Today, it was a pair of young hopefuls named Dave and Huna. They were clearly nervous the first 30 minutes, then began settling in. In their second hour they gave us in the blogosphere a pretty good snub, preferring the 150 year tradition of honest MSM journalism! They should have auditioned for Air America perhaps, but mostly they just sounded a little young for the job.
I remember the first few NARN shows. With Mitch Berg's experience and leadership, the NARN hit the ground running, and look at them today. Andy Willoughy is getting shoved aside so the boys can sell cars and cigars.
