[Kzyxtalk] KZYX Blacklist. Who's next?
Joel Waldman
poet at mcn.org

In one of his first acts as general manager, John Coate, by phone,
rescinded my advertised and announced invitation to appear on "Takes
On The World," an hour before air-time.
He told me he took this action in the name of "good radio."
Although I introduced Lawrence Ferlinghetti to our local KZYX audience
where he read his newly composed Elegy for Allen Ginsberg in a
broadcast premiere, and in spite of my long-term prior experience as a
paying subscriber, volunteer, and programmer, I remain personna non
grata at the station precincts at the behest of the GM.
I suspect that my calls to the station are now sent to a diverter.
No one seemed to care nor pay any attention to this act of censorship
even to this day.
These are my last written words on the subject; keyboarding is too
difficult for me; my fingers are numb. While I am under the influence
of powerful pain medication (No joke!), I am still able to read poetry
and speak with some lucidity.
Please do what you can to save KZYX for me.
