So for those of you who don't know, I just got back from a road trip connecting Tucson, San Francisco, Las Vegas, and full circle to Tucson. I encountered a lot of fun country radio along the way. San Francisco's station ("The Wolf") in particular was really fun. They had promo spots inquiring if anyone knew a "closet Wolf listener". The commercial continues with a guy driving his colleague to work. Colleague asks, "Hey, what's on the radio?" upon hearing George Strait's "Give It Away" in the background. Driver gets mildly defensive, saying, "Well, you know. My wife's always messin' with my radio." The two discuss changing the station but decide not to. The ad proceeds with the two of them deciding to call the radio for a contest, and -- wouldn't you know it! -- each of them has the station's phone number on speed-dial. The ad concludes with the two of them deciding that it's a pretty awesome radio station after all, the driver ending with, "Well, you know. My wife's always messin' with my radio!" tongue-in-cheek-like. There's a bizarre homoeroticism to it, although I'm probably reading too much into it. (I was in San Francisco, after all.)
Anyway, more interesting things forthcoming.
