| The Tom Russell song, Who's Gonna Build Your Wall? precipitated a call from a very well-spoken listener who expressed the opinion that it was \"typical schoolboy left-wing rhetoric\". I was appalled, cos it's actually a very well-written song. Also, I do not host a Talk Show, and I was alone at the station. I didn't want to get embroiled in a discussion, so I told him so, and hung up on him just as he was saying \"do you know who benefits from ... ?\" I have been wondering where his argument might have led. But I appreciated the call. Eventually. Cos I got excellent mileage at the gig that night, touting Tom Russell as a radical left-wing activist! Tom liked the idea of stirring up controversy, too (how surprising!) I also said, on-air, that I'd had that call and that if listeners want to hear left-wing rhetoric they ought to not be surprised to find it in a Folk Music show on a campus or community station. If they want the establishment view they can read any newspaper or tune in to any commercial station. I am going to continue to play under-represented music and if it also espouses under-represented political views, then so be it. Ooh, I do like having a radio show!! | ||||
