Favoriting February 3, 2015: Stop Drinking The Haterade!
Back in July I did an Aerial View show titled Hate & Discontent and asked you to go against the grain by calling in with stories of love and contentment. Tonight, I want to know how you keep from drinking the "Haterade".

I'm old enough to remember when only those of us who had "public" gigs were hated, stalked, or otherwise harassed. Nowadays, if you have a Facebook page or any other social media presence, odds are there's someone sipping' the Haterade and hoping you will, too.

As much as we'd like to ignore those who don't like us or enjoy the unique presence we bring to the world, it's nearly impossible. Even Louis C.K. talks about those disapproving faces he sees in an audience of thousands who love him. What is it about human nature that has us drinking the Haterade? Have you ever had someone off their unsolicited opinion of you? How do you deal with your trolls?

interesting NY'er article on dealing with trolls from a while back here: www.newyorker.com...
  6:17pm
Mary from Trenton:

Interesting topic. The troll phenomenon is part of a larger pathology of internet addiction. The power of the troll is very often equal to the power of the addiction of those who depend on social media platforms to validate their self esteem. There is a codependency at play that should be recognized.

mandy's wrong on this one - they hate themselves, that's why they try to hate every body else even more.

Clap your hands four inches above and behind the fly.

JakeGould:

Grab a huge role of newspaper, hold it over your head and whip that right on the fly. Also works for trolls, schmucks and a-holes.
  6:21pm
Robert:

Interesting, Fredericks. Above & behind, like you're anticipating their flying backwards?
  6:22pm
JakeGould:

Mary, trolls existed before the Internet. Hecklers, stalkers, masked vigilantes, etc…

The crazy-heads in ISIS seem pretty filled with hatred. They've beheaded people and apparently burned someone alive.

Pete from Boston (and NJ):

Advice I gained from Lenny at the UMass Field Station on Nantucket: wear a blue hat with a wide brim. Flies are attracted to the blue but can't figure out how to get under the brim.

Hanging up a blue plastic cup (or other blue item) coated with something sticky will also work.

I learned my lesson. I did it because I envied the dj as Ive done before to other djs because I want to b a dj and am not. Simple. I am not going to do it again. I learned my lesson and I stopped. What else should I do? Please drop it. Txs.

Guido from Cologne:

The fly tends to escape the oposite direction your hand comes from.
The trick to target a little bit "behind" the fly.
So you will catch the fly the moment it seemingly fleed.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:40pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

I used to catch flies, then clip their wings a little and toss them into spiderwebs.

My uncle always said praise and insults should be ignored and you will find the truth in between. It works for me. The troll thing just seems stupid anyway.

No, Chris, I meant you were playing "American Pie", so the fly came.

flies love yellow. go to any hot rod car show and the flies are all on the yellow cars - i kid you not.

Get an old lady to swallow the fly. I don’t know why she’ll swallow the fly. Perhaps she’ll die? Then you’ll have a dead old lady in the studio. Oh well.

Guido, I wish you'd have us do your bidding already if you're going to keep hypnotizing us with that avatar.

Or ARE we already doing your bidding?

When beset by fruitflies in the summertime, my solution is to vacuum them up. I presume they perish in the dust container. I'm careful to not suck up bits of fruit that they could live on in there.

Does that make this The Day The Day The Music Died Died?

You started playing "The Day the Music Died" then stopped and said "I killed it."

So today is The Day "The Day The Music Died" Died.

The day the music died was when Bill Murrray stopped hearing "I Got You Babe " the day after GroundHog Day. Feb 3rd.

Pete from Boston (and NJ):

Who will torture a generation with a song about Don McLean's death? WFMU should hold a contest when the time comes.
  6:56pm
dorian:

i had to look up "the day the music died" in order to understand what this was all about. Then when i finally found out--i was like "oh, ok" LOL at the time im sure the plane crash was tragic, but today i have to assume it is irrelevant.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:57pm
Mike East:

actually, John, he heard it the day after as well...making him believe temporarily that it was still Groundhog Day. The alarm came on at a slightly different part of the song, though.

Pete, if Chris has the same backgrounds on the screens as we see, he can't read the text any easier than we can.

@dorian: “LOL at the time im sure the plane crash was tragic, but today i have to assume it is irrelevant.” Yes, two great American artists die in one day at the peak of their fame. So irrelevant. What a schmuck.

@jake gould --well listen i didnt mean to be disrespectful, it's just a generational issue. At age 40 I'm an old coot to my high school students--to them the death of Kurt Cobain is irrelevant, yet it was a big deal when i was in high school and nirvana is seen as a turning point in rock. In much the same way--today hardly anyone actively listens to holly,valens, big bopper yet they are hall of fame artists. That's what i meant by saying that by today's standards it was irrelevant.
