ok, chicago. i, like, get it.

i subscribed to wbez yesterday. i believe in public radio. i support it. however, would someone PLEASE tell them to lay off the jazz/blues? i like jazz, don't get me wrong. i get that chicago is home to great blues and jazz. i promise i get it.

but couldn't there be a station that does that and wbez could then do more, i don't know, talking? i like talking.

for example,
every weeknight 12 am-4 am: jazz
saturday 12 am-5am: blues before sunrise
sunday 11 am-12 pm: piano jazz
sunday 12 pm -3pm: jazz with dick buckley
sunday 12 am-1am: world jazz

now i know what you are going to counter with
1) julie, you are a brat, shut up
2) most of those shows are in the middle of the night, shut up
3) you are clearly too dumb to appreciate the subtle nuances of jazz. so, shut up.

my replies:
1) perhaps i am spoiled. i donated. piss off
2) i like to listen to voices while falling asleep. kpcc in LA has the bbc from 11 on. god, i loved that. it's why i subscribed to them and not the much hipper kcrw.
3) i am a total jazz idiot. perhaps they are hoping that the rote drill work of constant, endless, mind-numbing jazz/blues will train me?

i'm sure this is sacrilege and i will burn in jazz hell with that whisk thing beating at a cymbal over my head for freaking eternity, but that's what my sunday afternoons feel like anyway. really...two jazz shows in a row? even john coltrane would start turning the dials looking for reggaeton.
