Blinded By The Sun
Simmons is back! And the Sun headline writers are outdoing themselves to welcome him, judging by the effort atop his mash note to the Fan:
"After Some Early Bumps, The Fan 590 Turns 15 Today, And The Station's
Tentacles Are Seen And Heard Across North America." Wow. You can hear
tentacles now?
To be fair, there are a few interesting nuggets in the story, and it's always entertaining to hear Simmons bitch about getting canned. He also includes this gem:
In the early days of the radio station, getting paid was an art. You had to invoice, beg, invoice again, beg some more, and call the first program director, Allan Davis, numerous times before anything resembling a cheque would arrive.
Sounds like someone can't take a hint. I kid!
