T-T reporter Stacy Brown and Michael Jackson go way back

Scranton Times-Tribune Stacy Brown has been turning up all over the place today because of his knowledge of (and book about) Michael Jackson. Brown wrote a first-person piece for the T-T about it all.

>> WILK's Steve Corbett writes about his dealings with Jackson out in California when Corbett covered Jackson's criminal trial

Stacy is too hip for the room but what makes that even better is he doesn't let on that he is. Fact is he may not know and that's the icing on that cake! Proud to call him my friend.

Over half a year and no activity. Either shit or get off the pot. Keep up the blog or do away with it. It's not like there isn't enough shit to talk about.

John, that is SO NEPA: He's black, so he must be hip. Congratulations on having a black friend. At least you didn't mistake him for Al Roker.

John said...

Hieronymous, feel free to shove your inferiority complex masquerading as savvy observation directly up your ass. Unless you actually sign your name next time, then we can talk.

Hieronymous said...

Right, like John Webster is your real name. Stick to your Aerosmith and Van Halen, the real world is over your head.

John said...

See my previous post.

Daniels and Webster are old farts. Keep playing Sweet Home Alabama, you has-beens.

Ralphie, that you?

Rock 107 -- official station of Dwight Schrute. Rock on, dudes? So what is Webster's real name?

Rock 107 reminds me of when I was a kid and my old man used to listen to songs Sinatra did about 30 years before. Except Sinatra was Sinatra and Van Halen is....Van Halen.

So if they were Sinatra songs from the '40's and they were 30 years old, you were a kid in the 70's? A kid, say 5? So you were born no later than 1965? Maybe you were 10? That means you could have been born in 1960.

So you're approximately in your mid to late-40's now? Why you're a spring chicken! I bet your musical tastes are modern, eclectic, and sophisticated!

Sinatra recorded between the late 1930s to the 1990s, so 30 years later would be sometime between the late '60s and 2029. A "kid" could be 5 or he could be 18. So I'd say the original writer was born sometime between 1951 and and 2024, you innumerate asshat.
And I wouldn't call my tastes modern, electic and sophisticated, but I haven't listened to Van Fucking Halen since high school.

John Murphy is too hip for the room.

Dear Guy Whose Dad Liked Sinatra,

Van Fucking Halen enjoyed their peak in popularity between 75 and 85 and with your unquestionable taste for new and relevant music I know you weren't listening to them after that since after that they were relegated to the classic rock heap (though they were in the top three highest paid acts as recently as 2008.)

So if you were a senior in 85, the outer boundary of your Van Halen listening days, you're 42. I think 42 qualifies as ballpark 40's, my original guess.

And while I do aspire to be a NUMERATE asshat like yourself, I hope you didn't hold the same condescension and disdain for your father's outdated musical taste in Sinatra as you hold for those with an outdated musical taste for Van Halen.

Now you be on your sophisticated-since-you-left-high-school way. And thanks for playing.

Danger Dan said...

"Webster" is an asshat, too. I notice he hasn't been around since I asked his real name.

The problem with Rock 107 isn't that it plays old stuff, but that it plays the lamest and least interesting old stuff. Artists you will never hear on 107: Dylan, Springsteen, Ray Davies, Warren Zevon, John Hiatt, Steve Earle, Graham Parker. People with some wit and lyrical bite. You may not love any or all of these artists, but they're at least as worthy as AC-DC. 107 doesn't play rock, it plays a dumbed-down version of rock. I know Webster and Lewis have no control over what they play, but I would lose my mind having to listen to that Aerosmith-Led Zep-Halen-AC DC shit on heavy rotation. No wonder the guy's blogging for Sarah Palin.

Agreed but do you think he listens to the music? I was across from him at the light in front of Sheetz on Rt 6 a week or so ago and it sounded like he was listening to Sue Henry to me.

I do not work at Rock 107 said...

Don't know if you've ever dealt with Webster on the job. I have. Your classic asshat who thinks he's Howard Fucking Stern, pissing on people when he thinks he can get away with it, while toadying up to management. None of these "up your ass" comments surprise me at all. This guy's about as rock'n'roll as Mitt Romney.

I'm Sure You Do Not Work at Rock 107 said...

Back under the bridge troll.

which is which said...

to the "i don't work at rock107" guy,

pissing on people and toadying up to managers? you sure you know which one is webster?

Jesus tap dancing christ you people suck. What is this, the 4chan of blogs?

Johnny Sphincter said...

I like Stacy too, but knowing that Webster considers himself a 'friend' makes me reconsider.

Hieronymous Homunculus said...

You're from NEPA! You think you have a black friend!
