                                               Announcement

I am sorry to announce that Keith Rowland has informed me tonight that he no
longer wants to move forward (he quit). This follows a conversation I had with him in
which I asked him to not snap at people. I was concerned because he was in charge of
the Business side of the deal which is a lot of work and involves dealing with people.
Business is built on relationships. He said the stress of all this was to much for him
which is understandable because there is a great deal to do on his side. He further told
me that he will turn his Network over to somebody else. All this was as much a shock
to me as I am sure it is to you.

As a result of this, it is less likely that I will move forward because I can not handle both
The Talk Host part of the job as well as the Music License matters, the Streaming deals
that have to be made, the Website, the Producer he had lined up and much more.

Since I have already bought all the Studio gear I will go ahead and build the Studio with
the hope of finding a way forward. This is not me saying I quit, it is me saying that right
now I don’t see a way to get it all done. If  I can find a way, I will do so, but this is kind
of a stopper for the moment. I will keep you all informed.

Keith was the only person in the world who could do any of this?

[The General]

Ow my balls !

This made me laugh harder than anything on this forum ever has.



Thanks Aldous.

Art please get in touch with Curtis (themudking). He can probably help you out.

I hope something can be worked out. A pity because Keith did a decent job of setting up the network and brought in quite a few interesting programs. However the show will go on!!!

Wow.  He was your right hand for many years.  I am shocked at this development.  To get through this and make the show happen, you will need another right hand person.  It can be hard to start working with a new person, that you're unfamiliar with.  Unfortunately, we are all replaceable.

But, this can be part of the adventure.  It's not what happens to us, but how we respond, that counts.

You are a Talk Show Host, yes.  But, Producer Paul, could he help screen applicants for the position of your Business Relations Manager?  There is hungry talent out there that would give their left foot to have the privilege of working for you.  I would.

Problems are opportunities in disguise, Art.

[aldousburbank]

Art, this is your Pete Best > Ringo moment!

[jazmunda]

For those of us keeping score at home, time for another shot/bong.

I don't have any glue from the 70s to sniff. Will a glue stick suffice?

If he quit because of being told to conduct himself in in a proper way than it shows the type of person Keith really was, and I do respect him for the work he did with you... but this is kind of ridiculous on his part. I hope that a suitable replacement can be found, and the show will happen. If not it isn't the end of the world.

MV?  Please fix this somehow.

[Kolchak]

Shouldn't this read "Keith puts Art's comeback on hold"?

[Northern Nights]

Art, this is your Pete Best > Ringo moment!

Couldn't agree more aldous!

[NowhereInTime]

Is this something MV and the Mudking might venture into, producing for Art?

[aldousburbank]

Nothing is over until we decide it is!

Dude has skills!  Art, I second you reach out to BellGabber themudking.

This. So much this.

I will volunteer to be call screener. I will only let through Australians named Andy though.

You might remember Curtis (themudking) from such shows as The GabCast and The Spec Sheet and hopefully this summer's How Art Got His Groove Back.

[sydtron]

Well aint that shit in the potato chips.....

There has to be someone to trust.   Maybe the bridge isnt burnt?  People quit all the time and then re-consider. (NOT A SHOT AT ANYONE)   Stress makes people do strange things out of anger.  Its understandable. 

It will sort itself out. 

Now.  To find a web guy that can be trustworthy and not crack under pressure. Im not saying Keith wasnt either.
It sounds like a big job. 
To paraphrase. ..  OW MY BALLS!  indeed!

Boy, I REALLY hate to think that Noory had something to do with this... some sort of buy Keith deal?  There is a war going on here... and they are desperate to keep you off of the air.  Don't let this stop you Art.

When one door closes, another door opens. Everything happens for a reason.  It just means that Keith wasn't the right person. The RIGHT person is still out there... and likely someone that can and WILL make this even bigger and better WITH you.

[aldousburbank]

And Ginger Loves Mary Anne, the unrated version.

That GabCast thing is pretty cool.

[weeberwubber]

Art, if you want to do it just get a new...whatever Keith Rowland did.

Pretty sure Bob Crane sells them.

I think everyone needs to chill out for a few days.
Art and Keith have worked together for too long to let PMS-ing ruin it.
Keith apologized, so let's get off his ass and let him do his job.
We all want the same thing.

If Keith quits as a result of the hack shit storm, whoever was behind the hack wins.
Can we let that happen?

That couldn't be further from the truth.
