Sorry if I've posted this before, and I meant to post this on Dave Hill's show: Author Alex Shakar had this in a novel, "the savage girl ", paraphrased, "people get dogs to receive the love that their children never give them. People get cats to give the love that they can't show to their parents."

Well, the one that's sitting on my lap right now is loving what's being played (even though we're back on a dog theme with Borzoi), and I'm feeling bad about rousting him, but it's beddy time for me and all cats in the house. Nice way to go. Thanks, efd!

Andrew S:

the cancon is so much sweeter when its played because you like it instead of because you have to. It's condescending to the artists when its played because it has to be. It also used to cause complications on indie radio stations where some shows were world music or whatever. The limitations were annoying but i dont think they apply to community radio anymore or if they do its ignored
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:54pm
efd:

@Andrew it always did strike me as kind of a double-edged sword... I can understand not wanting the Canadian airwaves to be overrun with US artists but it's not always as simple as it seems.
Avatar 11:57pm
Andrew S:

yep, you get it, it was a complicated issue and it had its purpose once upon a time. I think it has run its course now, though i havent listened to commercial radio in about 30 years so what do i know ;) Im always pleased by your inerest and knowledge of our humble doings up here though efd, you play more great canadian music than 99 percent of canadian radio stations do

Hi efd! I'm enjoying catching up with this show today on the archive! Working dogs are indeed all large, I believe the Portuguese Water Dog is the smallest in the group. And please add my name to the list of Boston Terrier likers for this year's WKC show.
