Clear Channel's CEO had brain surgery last week...

According to a wire report I came across May 5, Clear Channel CEO Lowry Mays underwent brain surgery after experiencing numbness on his left side.

Normally, I'd have sympathy for someone undergoing such an ordeal. But Mays' company has probably done more to dumb down this country than any single entity anywhere, with their oversaturation of right-wing, Republican ass-kissing talk shows. Not to mention the cookie-cutter personalities that virtually every market in the country now has to put up with. There's very little, if any, local identity with radio stations anymore, because all of the CC stations have to give you that same old menu of neo-con ideology 24/7.

Clear Channel has done more to ruin U.S. radio than anything I can imagine.

BTW, wasn't Mays a former partner with Dubya when they owned the Texas Rangers baseball franchise?

Or were they just looking for one in there--somewhere?

He had them remove his common sense and his compassion for his fellow man, right?

more likely his conscience and all traces of good.

Maybe one of these is the CC CEO mojo....Heh he...

But Mays is a long-time supporter of and contributor to Bush.

got caught with a prostitute and was arrested for some pervert crime? I remember catching a breif glimpse of a story like that.

Forgot the dude's name...someone posted the story of him getting pinched in a company car with a prostitute...LOL. Gotta love those family values. I could just hear it now. "Honestly, officer, I was sitting here and she just knocked on the car window all naked and stuff"...hell, it worked for Neil Bush.

David Smith. He was arrested for getting A BLOW JOB!

Smith and Mary DiPaulo, 31, were charged with committing an unnatural and perverted sex act

Unnatural and perverted? LOL. Those kinky Repugnicans! Ya think the guy'd have lot of hottie hanging around those TV and radio stations with stars in their eyes. And 31??? Well, 'nuff said! Thanks for the laugh.

Hicks-Tate-Muse...the other part of the Clear Channel monster.

I agree, Loewry Mayes relishes in the monopolization and dumbing down of radio operations for his own greed and power. He's ruined a lot of careers in recent years. May he feel just a sliver of the pains he's inflicted on others. The Kharma train is a comin'.

“X-Rays of Dean’s Head Reveal Nothing.”

The classic case of a time when it did happen was in a World Series game when Dizzy Dean came running into second base standing up. The shortstop had no trouble pulling the trigger and beaned Dean right in the noggin.

Ole Diz was knocked unconscious and taken to the hospital. He woke up later with only a headache, and a newspaper carried the story with this headline, “X-Rays of Dean’s Head Reveal Nothing.”
