on 96.9 FM tawk is that one doesn't have to listen for long before Big Mike sez something unintentionally hilarious or plainly idiotic.
In fact in the time it takes to exit the Magickal Suburb of Menotomy and reach the Alewife MBTA station Mike can wallow in cheap sentimentality, josh with his on-air lackeys and take a call from some earnest slap-happy dope.
So in terms of efficient time management, it is a slam-dunk.
Today he was worried that today's younger generation won't "outdo" their forebearers in terms of quality of life.
This is pretty much a stock concern on the part of all radio tawk show tyrants...they all have their stock answers, lower taxes, forced expulsion of illegal immigrants, throw the poor in jail etc etc etc.
It is all pretty much nonsense but it fills up congressionally mandated airtime nicely.
In the case of Mike Barnicle's kids though, it is a real problem, I mean they can hardly expect to grow up to be treacly fantasist-columnists and radio talk show hosts now can they?
Oh well, guess they will just have to take their chances with the rest of us.
