something else, later.
Is Phil in any major markets? Any live?>>

i'm in agreement with a few of our legion that Phil does cross that gray area 
and venture into the blue or slightly-over-the-line, such as my previous 
objection of making light of the issue of child abduction and turning it into a 
farcical look at racial issues.
  but on the whole, his "art" is indeed a well-executed one.  and as far as the 
inquiries as to "why" people who don't get the joke keep calling the man's 
show... on average, most "average" radio listeners have no clue. (see previous 
thread about LAW BREAKING COLLEGE STATIONS!!! without "personalities")  i truly 
find that the average listener does not think things through.  
1) "can i ask you a question?"  well, honey, you just did.
2) variation on #1 "can i make a request?"
3) (re: #2... "well?  will you play it?")  request is the operative word; not 
guarantee.

yes, they listen to Phil.  and they occasionally get caught up in the spirit of 
the thing.

when is his show "live?"  i know in Portland, they carry it 10am to Noon, on 
970 WZAN.
