I rant about PBS pledge break abuse
I love Roy Orbison as much as the next guy, but sheesh -- they trot out this thing every pledge drive. I am sick of it, just as I am sick of Suze Orman, Wayne Dyer, the legends of doo-wop, Irish tenors, Celtic women, Italian tenors, and all the other self-help gurus and marketing-rich musical acts that clog pledge breaks.
KCET and public television in general, listen to what I am saying (in BOLD type because I'm an angry man):
If you want me to support your programming, SHOW ME THAT PROGRAMMING -- not a bunch of canned crap that is NOT part of your regular schedule and pretty much serves as an hourlong commercial for the artist/guru/shill singing/haranguing us to please, please subscribe and get their DVD (or, more probably, forget about subscribing and get their latest gem on Amazon).
