Brutally Honest on ShockNet - 11/28/09 - LIVE!!! (updated)

If the subject of tonight's show notes (not to mention the lateness of the posting) isn't any indication of what to expect, think about this...

Tonight's show will be LIVE in the ShockNet Studio! No pre-record. No casting pods. This is all LIVE tonight!

Not only that, but we will have the phone lines open for the first time on this show. The number is 866-400-6684.

Also you can join in at the ShockNet chatroom, AND see my ugly mug on the webcam!

So what are you waiting for? JOIN IN!!

ShockNet Radio!

The new heresy begins HERE!

(Update: 12/03)

For those who missed out on the show, I will have the archive up on Sunday. I just have to make some adjustments to it so the songs that were played during the intermission are removed.

I do want to apologize for how the ending was rushed. We were limited to the whole hour and I initially thought I wouldn't have the time to get everything in and it turned out it was the opposite.

The second segment dealt with my trip to the Oklahoma City Memorial and Museum. I couldn't take any pictures inside the museum, but I do have the photos from the memorial up on Facebook. Someone in the chatroom said that they hoped when the 9/11 memorial is eventually constructed they have the same moving experience. I hope that's the case.

But there is a reason why this memorial in Oklahoma City is important... because here the enemy wasn't some outside force. It wasn't some stranger striking through proxies halfway around the world. It wasn't some power-mad cleric or some spoiled sheik's boy from Saudi Arabia. Here the enemy was in our own country. Here the enemy was our next-door neighbors, our friends, the people we know, people we work with and talk to, people who were so passionate about what they believed in that they took it to extreme ends. This IS the end result of extremism. These people were where the cons and neo-cons are today in mindset and motive. And if people are not careful and they don't heed the warnings that I've been seeing and that RJ has been seeing, history WILL repeat itself.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

See you on ShockNet Radio this weekend.

IMPORTANT news for this weekend!

Hey guys, just wanted to update you on some of the important changes going on this week.

FIRST... this past Sunday's "Brutally Honest" show will be uploaded to the Archive on Thursday. I have to do this because I will not be here on Sunday when it is normally uploaded.

Where will I be, you ask? I'll be in Norman, Oklahoma, and I will be doing my normal Saturday night show LIVE in the ShockNet studio!

YES I WILL BE LIVE! This will be the first time in about seven years since Brutally Honest (in all of its incarnations) was ever done LIVE!

RJ Evans will be my engineer, which will be a first for me. I will also have the phone lines open and I will also have the chat room going... although that probably will be RJ responding since I WILL be a little busy on the air.

I'm HOPING that RJ will have the show stored on archive for me to upload in case you guys miss it... but I really think it would be better if you guys got to hear it LIVE as it was intended.

SO be sure to join me this SATURDAY at 7pm Eastern, 6pm Norman, LIVE at ShockNetRadio.com for Brutally Honest!

And don't forget this will be just one of the three shows that I will be doing LIVE in Norman. I will be doing "American Heathen®" on Friday night... which is normally LIVE anyway but will be the first time I'll be in the studio working with RJ instead of doing it remotely through the magic of technology. I will also be showing up in the "Rock and Roll Diner" on Monday night at least for the first hour.

This will be a SUPER-BUSY weekend for me, and I hope you guys get to enjoy it as well.

Brutally Honest on ShockNet - 11/21/09 Show Notes

Yeah, today IS my birthday. I was actually debating about giving myself a birthday present and doing a repeat, but I'll be going on my end-of-year hiatus soon, so I figured I'd brave an hour. 

What? End-of-year? Already? WHEN? Yeah, that'll be covered in tonight's program. And that's not all too! I've got news, I've got an archive from a few years back, and I've got a new rant about an old whine.

So join me THIS SATURDAY (11/21) right here on ShockNet Radio at 7pm Eastern Time (6pm Norman time and 4pm Hefner Time) over at www.shocknetradio.com and also at Apple's iTunes Radio Player under the "Classic Rock" category and wish me a Happy Birthday!

And don't forget that I will also be in the "Brutally Honest" chatroom at www.shocknetradio.com during the show, so I hope to see you there!

Brutally Honest: The New Heresy Begins Here!

Brutally Honest on ShockNet - 11/14/09 Show Notes

I've used the phrase "The great disconnect" to describe a lot of situations. Most of them involve wealth... or people WITH wealth. Money apparently makes people either stupid or live in another world completely divorced from reality.

Well "the great disconnect" exists in a lot of issues that deal with money, but tonight I'll be focusing on ONE disconnect that seems to be at the forefront in the news for the past few months.

There's a lot more going on too, so join me THIS SATURDAY (11/14) right here on ShockNet Radio at 7pm Eastern Time (6pm Norman time and 4pm Hefner Time) over at www.shocknetradio.com and also at Apple's iTunes Radio Player under the "Classic Rock" category.

And don't forget that I will also be in the "Brutally Honest" chatroom at www.shocknetradio.com during the show, so I hope to see you there!

Brutally Honest: The New Heresy Begins Here!

Brutally Honest on ShockNet - 11/07/09 Show Notes

I seem to use that word a lot of late... BS BS BS... but there's just too much of it to NOT say anything!

We have, for instance, political games being played by the Dems and the GOP. We have gross ineptitude and betrayals by those in government. We have mind-games being played by party bosses and by trained parrots looking to demonize the people currently in charge. There's so much BS going about that we could probably make a fortune in fertilizer if it really was a solid substance.

There's a lot of it to go about as well so join me THIS SATURDAY (11/07) right here on ShockNet Radio at 7pm Eastern Time (6pm Norman time and 4pm Hefner Time) over at www.shocknetradio.com and also at Apple's iTunes Radio Player under the "Classic Rock" category.

Oh, and I also have a SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT that I mentioned last week that I will be making here on this program. You don't wan to miss out on it!

And don't forget that I will also be in the "Brutally Honest" chatroom at www.shocknetradio.com during the show, so I hope to see you there!
