[BC] Broadcast Engineers = wimps?

[Steve Newman]

I had to do it once Mike. It's not haunted me because I knew where I was 
going and my plans. I don't believe in bridge burning either save this one 
time in my career of 40 some odd years. I literally slammed down the letter 
of resignation and walked out. Nothing has ever came of it because and I 
won't be returning to the "majors". I'm consulting now, doing voice work out 
of my home studio and live outside a small town. However, I totally support 
your thinking here Mike. Even though this G.M. deserved this (he's lost many 
since my leaving in 12/99...ratings included) I knew what I was doing and 
the point in my life when I was doing it. I won't bore you with the details 
or why I did what I did. Suffice it to say it's ancient history and my music 
director and I are working together once again but from different locations. 
Love the new technology and respect people who know what they're doing. How 
do such BOZOS get to the top? Nuff said.

One more point before I leave you. It's probably not as much a problem in 
the "talent" end of the business as it is in the engineering side. There was 
a misunderstanding back in 1968 when I was on the engineering side of the 
business and I'm still hearing about it. :)
