I was fired from my radio show gig yesterday by the general manager at Bi-Coastal Media,Gary Grossman for poo pooing both our local hospitals calling them the ” Medical Mafia” at MCMC  ( Mid Columbia Medical Center in The Dalles) and Providence  in HoodRiver (the Sisters of Profit or prophet!!). I had been plugging an alternative, the Wilson St Clinic, and apparently someone had complained to the management and here we are.

The last time I was fired was 2003 or so when I was vocally against the invasion of Iraq and that war. That ended a 14yr run on Q104 and  yesterday ends a 12 or 13 yr stretch on KMSW.

It seems that it’s really unpopular to tell my audience things that we already know that we are not supposed to say, like how we are getting screwed by the medical system in this country or how spending a trillion plus dollars and murdering 100,000 plus innocent people in Iraq was a bad idea, or the local railroad tie plant spewing poison into our air here in The Dalles on a daily basis.

1 or 2 people complain but it’s funny how NONE of my 14 sponsors complained, because they realized i’m telling the truth, something we seem to have a problem with in this “Christian” country of ours.

You see my radio show was a “Blues” show, Blues, Gospel, Soul, Zydeco, American roots music with a small splattering of reality thrown in. 98% Blues and 2% reality, that reality will get you every time!!

I’d also tell you where to pick up a dog at the ” Home at last “shelter or about Alcohol Anonymous , or Narcotics Anonymous or where to go to the “Re-Build it Center” to recycle building materials.

I will still protest when I feel the need to protest and speak out on injustices see them because, thats what I do. I’m not a sit on my hands kind of guy, I call em like I see em. 

Thanks for listening.

Peace, Squrl Steve Curley
