So that last post about Weese was obviously written a while back… I must have screwed something up because I noticed it never actually made it up on the site.

So better late than never. As relevance goes, since Kane-no will apparently be back on air, just pretend the whole thing was written about Weese!

It’s a sad time right now for this community. In case you haven’t noticed, Rochester - rather Up-State… well, ok NY… ok, ok… The country? Fine - Fine, the world then. The world is in a bit of a slump.

I heard more depressing news about Kodak yesterday, I’m already sick of this years election process, I still find that nothing seems to work anymore, my going back to college experience has been interesting to say the least - there is a whole list of things on my mind right now that I could write about. Frankly kids, I just aint got the time no more…

Back to the main subject here, Wease love him or hate him has been a huge part of Rochester for as long as I can remember. I’m only 25, so here’s someone who’s been on the air most of my life. Growing up in the Rochester area, I checked out the monorail at X-mas, I swam in Lake Ontario - and it didn’t smell like poop, My Dad, my uncles, my grandfather, and their friends all worked at Kodak, and Wease was on WCMF - every day.

It really sucks to see another piece of this place shaved off and thrown to the side. As I’m sure you heard or read or whatever, WCMF was taken over by new ownership and now all the radio personalities that I’ve grown up with and loved over the years are getting the boot.

Who knows, maybe they demanded too much cash for the new owner’s budget, but guess what - those guys had a ton of loyal listeners. Nothing against Moranimal, Tommy, Sally, and the other DJ’s, but I kinda hope CMF takes a hit in ratings now. (Though, I caught some of the “men’s room” show this morning and it wasn’t bad.) But let’s not Bull $hit - Wease was the star. (Notice the cleaner language approach I’m trying here.)

Transition is a hard time to be in, but I’ll say this, (Unless he isn’t willing to) Brother Wease better be back on the air or the net or something within a year… So Wease, go play poker, chill out, enjoy sleeping in a bit, get in some quality family time for a while… but after a break, some offer better cross by you to have a relevant media outlet again or there is something seriously wrong going on. Somehow, I don’t think a Wease Myspace page is gonna cut it.

Unfortunately, I don’t get to listen to the radio much anymore - it’s outlawed where I work - but I’d be really happy to tune in one day and find Kano and Brother Wease mutha huckin it up on a new show or channel. I miss hearing the bits… “And now is time for only friend of working force in Rochester, NY in USofA…,” and, “FRIIIIIIIDAY!!!!!” I miss the talk about good tunes that you don’t usually get to hear on the radio… I miss the political talk… and hell… I even miss talking about looking at your Key in the mirror.

Seriously, the Saturday music show Wease had was one of the best things I ever heard on the radio. I’d like to see Wease get a new show like that with a bit of the talk show thing in there too. Just a loose, feel where he does what he wants - cause you know what? He’s got a lot of fans. As long as he has that, he can pretty much do what he wants.

Those of you reading this that know me know I play tunes solo and in a few bands… I write songs and all that jazz. Since me and my buddies were 12 years old we’ve wanted to get a chance to go on air with Wease in the morning and have him tell us he thinks we’re cool. I know that’s lame, but it’s true… and it’s still true. As much as I’d sit there and act like I didn’t care, If Wease had me on the show tomorrow and told me my songs were cool I’d geek out.

Artists, musicians, comedians, entertainers in general need to decide for themselves when their time is over, and when they have nothing left to contribute.

All I can say is for Kano and Wease I hope it’s not now.
