VHUS Strike OVER! Now waiting for fat lady to sing....

The VHUS Strike is OVER.   At this point, there's no need to run the full 30 days as originally planned.    The decision has already been made.   (To YOUR credit - it was an easy decision.)

Going in, I knew it would be bad - but I was gobsmacked at the minuscule percentage of our listener base who bothered to get in touch with us when we needed it the most.

But, that's show biz...




















While we wait for the fat lady to sing... 
please enjoy yet another kid-tested Classic Encore:


What’s occurring in Encore 43?
  • Uncle D.L.’s forgotten hell-spawn.
  • The Devil was never confused, NEVER confused!!!
  • Cherry Five hops aboard the reunion money-train.   (old news)
  • Fresh faces in The World Series Of Heavy Listeners!  (more old news)
  • It’s LSD (Listener-Submission-Day) on TRACK 13!
  • Don’t expect to fund your retirement with your DVD collection!   
  • Imported comedy ravings from LEE EVANS!   
PLUS: More opium-fueled prog rock, metal, comedy and classic rock obscura.   JOIN US!
