1) I’m interviewing Bobbie Brown of The Spinners on Monday. I have no dearth of questions, of course, but if any of you Philly soul experts has anything, lemme know and I’ll see what I can do.
2) This may be old hat, but there’s a ton of WKRP in Cincinnati footage on YouTube right now. It seems like most of it’s been up for a month or less. Most of it is the original footage, with the original music in it.
3) After hearing “867-5309 (Jenny)” on the Oldies-o-Matic at one of my regular eateries, I wonder: There was a good 15 years (at least around here) between pay phones costing more than a dime and the overtaking of pay phones by cell phones. Does anyone know of a song with a pay phone in the lyrics that refers to it costing anything other than a dime?
Your shitty website has been crashing my browser for the last week. It sucks.
Can you specify what sucks? Does “it” refer to the website, your browser, or the situation of your browser not being able to handle the majesty of Rock Town Hall and you not quite getting your fill. You know you love it, you codger. The Back Office has been known to look into people’s browser problems and offer helpful suggestions. Maybe you’ll want to send him an e-mail detailing some of your problems. Maybe things will work out for the better.
Fortunately that hasn’t happened with my browser here at work nor at home I’m not a network connection there like I am here so I can see why it would happen to thegreat48. It takes a really long time to load up due to all the video clips and mp3s and streams and what not, so that’s probably what making it crash (thegreat48’s browser probably can’t handle it).
I’ve been meaning to say something for a while, but since it hasn’t really affected me adversely as of yet other than just testing my patience a bit as far as how long things take to load sometimes, I haven’t said anything until thegreat48 brought it up.
Also, it would great if we could more easily browse from post to post (like a link at the top and/or bottom to go to the previous or next post). If this is not possible, I understand, but it’s just an idea to improve the blogging experience and what not. 🙂
Actually, I’m hooked up to a network here at the house myself.
Regardless, my suspicion is that there was something wonky about one of the embeds that has either been fixed or has fallen off the main page, because it hasn’t crashed my Firefox for the last 24 hours or so.
Hey, I didn’t ask you Matt!:)) Thanks for the feedback. I know what you mean. Some days we have too many files on the same page that bog down load time. I’ll try to better plan for more effecient displays of the richness of the RTH community.
Dear Mr. Mod:
Your shitty website has been crashing my browser for the last week. It sucks.
Three items:
1) I’m interviewing Bobbie Brown of The Spinners on Monday. I have no dearth of questions, of course, but if any of you Philly soul experts has anything, lemme know and I’ll see what I can do.
2) This may be old hat, but there’s a ton of WKRP in Cincinnati footage on YouTube right now. It seems like most of it’s been up for a month or less. Most of it is the original footage, with the original music in it.
3) After hearing “867-5309 (Jenny)” on the Oldies-o-Matic at one of my regular eateries, I wonder: There was a good 15 years (at least around here) between pay phones costing more than a dime and the overtaking of pay phones by cell phones. Does anyone know of a song with a pay phone in the lyrics that refers to it costing anything other than a dime?

… this from the guy who works for AllMusic, purveyors of the least reliable Web site in the mainstream music biz!
Hey, at least all it does is time out. RTH has been making me restart my damn machine!
In case you’re running windows ME or Vic20 – it’s time for an upgrade! I’m a jerk. But it was fun to say that!
