Upside Of Obscurity

The Northern Alliance Radio Network does pretty well for a little local weekend show - but there's times I look at the big stars, the ones making the big money - people like Strom and the like - and yearn for the big time.

But then I'd probably just have to take a plane to the Peabody Award ceremony stuck in a center seat (always, always the center seat; I'm 6'5, and I get the center farging seat more often than not) between Elder and JB when they whip out their custom-made hip flasks and start pounding back the single-malt.

By the time we hit cruising altitude, they'd be belting out "Danny Boy"; fart-lighting would ensue; by the time the "Fasten Seatbelts" light came on the lead flight attendant would have them in a sodden, vomit-coated hammerlock.

No. Obscurity is fine.
