I got to work this morning and started my week off with a negative.  If you were listening to The Buzz over the 4th of July weekend, you probably heard that we did a “4 for Freedom Weekend“.  It was just a fun way to do something different for the long holiday weekend.  It was a lot of work, but we did it as a special little gift for you, the listener.

Over the weekend I received a few calls and emails from people saying how much they were enjoying the feature as they hung out with their friends and family.  I was feeling pretty good about it. I was happy that we put in the extra effort to make it happen…then I got an email from my boss. It was a complaint that someone had sent to him, and he forwarded it to me. Here it is:

Subject: 4play bands

How can you not play 4 from Ted Nugent.You claim you play music from the founding fathers of rock and roll,and as Mr.Nugent was celebrating his 6000th concert in Detroit Michigan,your station failed to play even 1 song from him. His song Lovejacker from the Spirit of the Wild CD,is amazing.I am a big fan of your station but lately I am becoming more and more disgusted.Thank You for your time.

“Disgusted”?  Really?  That’s kinda strong don’t ya think?

Well Jim, I’m sorry we let you down sir.  I hope it didn’t ruin your weekend.

The silver lining in this little cloud of negativity? Uncle Ted would be proud that you spoke your mind the way you did.  YOU sir are a True Amurican!
