Its So Hard To Say Goodbye To Lisa May

As someone that was born and raised in Los Angeles I am used to radio stations disappearing, changing format completely, or becoming Spanish. So when I find something that I like I do not take change well. Listened to Howard Stern, it became Adam Carolla (which I got to be on quite a few times), then a dance station. But in that situation I knew what was happening the entire time, months in advance in some cases. But recently a show that I've listened to since I was about 12 years old changed. It didn't go away. It changed and somehow that feels worse.

Lisa May who was the traffic reporter was let go from the radio station KROQ. Lisa May has been on the show for decades and I loved her on there. I have seen many people come and go on that show like the aforementioned Carolla. There's Jimmy Kimmel and “Psycho” Mike Catherwood. They went on to bigger things and eventually Ralph Garman will be doing the same. He's been getting more roles on TV and movies and he has his successful podcast with Kevin Smith. The writing has been on the wall for a while now.

I Fucking Love L.A

I love Los Angeles. I was born here and I’ll die here. I know to some that may sound depressing. I’ll assume that if you feel that way then you’re likely somewhere that sucks. But not me. I wont even do like some people and claim that my city is the best in the world. Its just best for me.

One thing that bothers me most when it comes to my city is the people who live here but do nothing but complain about it. I’m not talking about the people who were born here. This is the ones that come here, stay here, and do nothing but bitch about how much better it is back where they’re from. This is an old song I’ve listened to for years since not that many people I know were born here. I always ask myself “Why are you still here if its so bad?”

The phrase “L.A” is never used in a nice way to describe someone but I’ve never heard the few of my friends who were born here described as L.A. Certain types of attitudes, styles, and activities are called L.A. I don’t do any of these things but a lot of fucking people not from L.A do. Here’s some things considered L.A.
