At this point, pitching in—to use your phrase—will not do any good to WBAI, but I can see why certain individuals would want that. The "shortcomings" of present-day WBAI/Pacifica are not imagined—ask any of the thousands of former listeners to educate you on that fact.Chris Albertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12056345320709233401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486287910626602438.post-87859942056808482832014-09-24T21:20:19.223-04:002014-09-24T21:20:19.223-04:00It is clear from the obituary of Ms. Grant that sh...It is clear from the obituary of Ms. Grant that she was a Communist. But you missed listening to the station for several decades, only to awake like Rip Van Winkle to some imagined shortcomings. Why don't you pitch in and help instead of getting a woody over WBAI's failings - you just are no good!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486287910626602438.post-6811818660742608162014-09-23T22:49:13.026-04:002014-09-23T22:49:13.026-04:00Thank you.

When I close my right eye, I can see how dim and unclear everything used to be—that will be corrected on Oct. 15, when Dr. Nightingale (don't you love the name?) finishes the job. Now, if I can only finish writing this article on Lil Armstrong.... it was due in Memphis yesterday and I am usually pretty good at meeting my deadlines.Chris Albertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12056345320709233401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486287910626602438.post-36427734573676230462014-09-23T22:39:49.685-04:002014-09-23T22:39:49.685-04:00Harry Truman integrated the Armed Forces.

She was before my time, but I like history. I think one of the problems is that the modern morons who listen to and staff WBAI only know it as "our station," and know nothing about what WBAI was through the decades. <br /><br />I think people forget WBAI alumni status because, frankly, WBAI is meaningless now. People really don't even know it exists like they used to.<br /><br />Anyway, don't kick yourself over Post. You brought back Fass, which was a very good programming decision for the time. Forget about the disaster he is now. In the 1960s, he was an important figure for WBAI and its place as the alternative radio voice in the NY market.<br /><br />SDL<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
