The long island guys are well represented here this morning. I work right down the block here, a couple blocks away so it isnt easy john job this morning to come in and say hello. I was looking through some stuff the last couple of days and everyone is talking about radio. It is amazing the amount of negativity no matter what part of the business that you are in.
