The Joke is on Miss Jones
It's been a while since I posted but it has been a busy month for me with getting back in to the groove of my spring semester of school. This subject may be a little late but rather late than never.
Today I viewed the words to the so-called "Tsunami Song" played numerous times on Hot 97 FM here in NYC through a ACLU forum I joined at NYU. I do have to admit that even though some of the lyrics were humorous, the whole catastrophic event was not. How could any of the morning DJs and producers at that station allow a song like that to hit the airwaves? Did they not think that the station would not receive negative feedback? Or was that their intentions all along? Bad publicity is better than no publicity at all. It was probably done to counteract the return of Star and Bucwild on Power 105 FM. Since the duo's return, people have been tuning in to their antics in droves and Miss Jones and her morning crew couldn't take the heat. Or better yet couldn't ride the wave...on second thought, maybe I shouldn't have typed that...
Anyway, what I don't understand is why Miss Jones would do the same type of skit that Star did regarding Aaliyah. The same type of skit that she was so enraged about that she walked out in the middle of the show and refused to return for days. Which takes me back to my previous statement - she couldn't handle losing her listeners to Star. So desperate times call for desperate measures. But if the song was meant to be only a joke, what was so funny about it? Miss Jones may end up losing her job behind this stunt, just like Star. So it seems like the joke is only on her.

The sad thing is, she didn't get fired, but her producer did.
