Listener Baby:

Dear Baby. I feel compelled to let you know that I can no longer listen to your radio show. Saturday morning is not the time I want to be totally entertained, rocked, and educated. Saturdays are also not the time to listen to ANY insightful opinions critical of our wonderful politcal sitiuation. Lastly, I prefer to listen to any prank phone calls on Sunday, not Saturday. Therefore, I will no longer be donating money to WFMU> Until the next fundraiser. Yours, Disgruntled Baby. Oh.. and LIVE FROM JERSEY CITY, IT'S THE MICHAEL SHELLEY SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
