Lolabelle, are you there yet, prepping the ether for Courtney? If you are, please do something about this awful music that's playing now. Who is this Fablo anyway?
Avatar 5:46pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

Hello to all the Codger fans. I'm Lolabelle. I am Courtney's Official Playlist Administrator. I can answer questions about Courtney, about his musical choices, and offer apologies for his insensitive on-air comments. Please be patient with him. He's the spokesman for his generation because he's the only one left.

We have filed a complaint with the Federal Bureau of Broadcast Standards about the so-called "music" played by Fablo. So far, they have not responded. We will be tenacious.
