Radio Ga Ga

El Mico Putumayo has followed the steps of his teacher and master, kagasstro, to the last detail, dot and trait. Now he's the DJ from hell. Venezuelan radio has gone Ga Ga and not with the silly Queen's tune.
This piece of news comes from the New York Times but if you are curious enough about it you have to look for it on your own because I don't link that communist rag on my blog.
In a move that is eerily reminding of what I lived through in that ersazt worker's paradise, c'est a dire, Cuba, el Mico Putumayo has banned American rock from the airwaves. That stupid singing clown has devised a system of quotas for each one of the traditional genres of Venezuelan music, and well, if you want to listen to the radio you will have a version of an aural rationing card giving you whatever he feels you like to listen and not what you will naturally pick for your pleasure.
A new meaning for the word Audioslave. By the way, not even with their gig in Cuba and their che huevera T's are they able to get a pass on the Venezuelan ether, under the rule of DJ Mico C.
Again, we should use kagasstro's frozen funds to establish rock stations that can be heard both in Cuba and Venezuela. The music will free the brains and ears of the youth of both countries from the whims of kagasstro and el Mico Putumayo. Nothing like good rock to transmit a sense of freedom. Ask everybody who has listened to good old Zeppelin. Or Jimi Hendrix or the newer acts. Nothing like good old rock to provide the youth with a great rebellious soundtrack to trash a tyrant!
