Tuesday, December 5, 2006 at 4:42 PM some of you folks seem to have a personal problem with a radio show you really liked and its changes over time. call up loveline, with old adam and drew on there, and tell them your problem. 'hey drew, hey adam. i have this problem. i used to love a radio show, but the host i liked, he left. now, i dont know what to do. it has left a gaping hole in my life. i blame the corporations etc etc etc. also the remaining cohost sucks for not speaking out against the evils of the system etc etc etc '. what would adam say in response to you? seriously? he would tell you to get a life, move on, deal with it, and quit whining. is it really healthy to obsess over this that much? to really, insult the new guy and pour feces all over him? to insult dr drew? and furthermore, do you really want adam to stay in a job he doesnt want to stay in? he had been there many many years. isnt that enough? anyways, folks, chill out. move on. grow. like adam, like drew. think about what adam would do. —turmeric |

Tuesday, December 5, 2006 at 6:39 PM Very possible. He hasn't posted since last night. If he isn't near a computer he must be shaking from the withdrawl. "Must...post...on TLC..." That'll be his dying wish. "Please. Whatever you do, sign onto the TLC and flood them with useless stories" —andrewwagner777 |

Tuesday, December 5, 2006 at 7:11 PM 'hey drew, hey adam. i have this problem. i used to love a radio show, but the host i liked, he left. now, i dont know what to do. it has left a gaping hole in my life. i blame the corporations etc etc etc. also the remaining cohost sucks for not speaking out against the evils of the system etc etc etc '. I take a very different stance. The Adam and Drew Show was great. It was a huge part of my life for many years. Adam went on to bigger and better things. I miss the old show (though I've morned it and moved on - aside from hanging out here, which I consider to be completely independent from LL). Now, Stryker sitting in Adam's seat.... well, it's just plain sad. There's no hole in my life from the destruction of LL as I knew it. I just feel as if something I once held sacred has been defiled. The show is going out of its way to target 14-19 year olds, forsaking the older audience all together. That's just retarded because the 14-19 year olds will always be there. There's an intrinsic need for people in that age range to have an outlet to learn and talk about sex and relationships. As long as there's only one show that does a half-way decent job of doing that, they'll be there. But they'll only be there transiently. There's only so much you can teach about that stuff. Only so much you need to learn. You can only hear the same questions asked in slightly different ways so many times before you've internalized the responses. Then you'll move on. So, as I see it, they're targeting a group of people they can count on as listeners while pissing away what made me and others long term listeners. The Adam and Drew show was something you could find as a kid, get hooked on, and listen to well into middle age. The new / 'back to the show's roots' vision doesn't work like that. And the thing that sucks about that is that the logical conclusion seems that listenership slowly falls off to some low background level, affiliates stop carrying the show, and the show's exposure goes down, and the show eventually dies from attrition (the death blow being when Drew's salary goes down below a level he considers reasonable and he finally leaves). It's just pathetic to take something so good and piss it away. Then again, that is kinda the way of things. I just hope that Loveline gets its shit together, has a new golden age, and is around for many more years rather than dying off in in the next few years. So turmeric, I've dealt with it, I've moved on, I'm chill. But whenever this subject comes up, it makes me angry and frustrated to see the show that I once loved and that's done so much good for so many people careening pilotless into the rocks.

Friday, December 8, 2006 at 8:05 AM anybody if things don't change, they die. i'm sure a lot of people didn't like Adam when he first started. for a show to remain 'relevant' it has to change... thats how adam got on in the first place... if he had stayed a construction worker all his life (im sure a lot of people loved his work there) there wouldn't be ten years of adamline. thanks for the poo poo gift, dusty, but i was just drive-by harassing people. —turmeric |

Friday, December 8, 2006 at 8:25 AM if things don't change, they die. Like crocodiles and sharks you mean? They have only been a around for a few hundred million years after all - less if you believe mad christian teachings that say the world only started last Tuesday. i'm sure a lot of people didn't like Adam when he first started. for a show to remain 'relevant' it has to change... It did change Adam joined and I guess made it better (more entertaining) other wise why would it have grown to be so popular - now it's changed again - but maybe it's not changed for the better, that's all we are suggesting and it would appear it is being dropped by many of the stations that used to carry it - I guess if it is successful they would not be doing that.

Friday, December 8, 2006 at 9:53 AM Ace pretty much said it for me. i'm sure a lot of people didn't like Adam when he first started. Without a doubt. I know some people (even here) didn't like him when he was at his prime. I'm sure some people even like Stryker better than Adam (wouldn't want to hang out with any of them, but I'm sure they're out there; perhaps you're one of them). Change can be good, just like mutations can be benificial. Neither is a given (and, in this case, I assure you that Styrker actually is deletarious). There is a historical analogy to be made here, but it's not Stryker ~ Adam, it's Stryker ~ Rikki.
