HE'S AT IT AGAIN, forcing a bunch of NEW MUSIC on listeners HE thinks is good! * That's his job! * This Curator Extraordinaire works overtime to ensure a STIMULATING program every week! * His standards are so high, it's no wonder he's been called been called "a PROGRAMMING GENIUS" by someone not associated with any publication! * If he fails to persuade, it's the fault of the listener! * I'd tell you his name, but instead I'll ask you to listen to MY show, OFF THE HOOK!

An UNHEALTHY OBSESSION? * Only recently have I asked myself the question posed by many through the years, as I slog through piles of RUBBISH in order to extract the SWEET KERNELS of sound that I present to you, dear listener, each week on the OFF THE HOOK program (with a side of my personal corn)! * IS IT WORTH IT? * Our answers may differ, but as a public servant who is COMPELLED to educate, for the betterment of all ears and minds, mine would be a resounding 'YES!' * You, on the other hand, may care less for a diet heavy with current music (today's extra-long Birthday Segment will offer respite) and OFF THE HOOK may not be for you. * TRY IT! * If you don't like it, maybe we can still be friends. Maybe not.

Another Friday, another cab fare. * But it's worth my personal expense to keep San Francisco (and the world!) musically educated! * Otherwise, you might veer towards 'publican songs of civil war! * Hey!  We have a society here! * The American educational system has clearly failed and critical thinking is all but dead! * You need the facts. * Fact is, you can't think for yourself if you let others do it for you with one-sided viewpoints and misinformation! * Fact is, OFF THE HOOK offers you a BROADER musical palette with options NEWER than those dusty old saber-rattling war songs! * Fact is, OFF THE HOOK comes to you FREE and it's fun!
