Listener Survey Comments

At your request, the latest bunch of listener survey comments which I read on the show last week (edited for space.)

***
The subject matter covered is current and important. I got Sirius radio to listen to Margaritaville, but find I spend more time each day listening to Michelangelo than to Jimmy.

***
Keep up the great work. I was listening today with Jeff Gannon, he needs to come clean.

I enjoy the show except for the odd time you seem to put down Canadians ... yet today you praised Canadians. I know of many gay and straight folks who enjoy your show yet have the same feeling I do when you say something negative about us. Under any flag we are a minority in our countries should we all not be united communications without borders. Last week you said you wanted the Europeans to go home as they were everywhere buying every thing in NYC.

Thank you for filling us in, above the border in Canada, about what slimy deals are happening in the government down there. I wish I could vote in the next election down there because I know so much about it now. Kudos to the whole team!

Ok, let me honest. I love your show and listen to it just about everyday - except for those days when the discussion/topic (and yes, Michael even you at times) get on my nerves. I cannot tell you how many times I screamed back at you while trucking down the road during those topics I personally dissagree with. But for the most part, I think you do a great job and provide a great service to our community.

Although I only drink about dozen drinks a year, this survey makes me look like an absolute lush...I'm more of an occasional pot smoker.

I have learned so much from you, my kids, 14,16,21 listen, and now i,ve got their straight daddy hooked. Thanks for all you do!

***
The intro each day is too long, too repetitive. MichaelAngelo is fabulous, but the intro to the show (and some of the editorial bridges) need to be more crisp, non-repetitive; MA is very fair to callers, but let them finish their sentences! Please. This is best show on radio or tv...just tighten it up a bit. Thanks for being there.

***
Really appreciate everything this show provides. I feel more informed and empowered to engage in discussions of my own rights and the events in this country that direct affect me. I appreciate Michelangelo's approach and calm demeanor. I feel like this show is a touchstone for the gay intellectual community.

***
We need more discussion/information as to the agenda of the Afghan Tailban having the same agenda of the Religious Right in this country. AND- I'm still "mad" at you for changing your mind about your interview with Mayor Nagel from Fort Lauderdale. As far as I'm concerened, you weren't hard enough on that "robot."

***
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the show! I can't get over the quality of the discussions and the commentary on current events! I drive a truck for a living. I cannot tell you guys just how much I appreciate intelligent radio shows. My only complaint (as an Italian American) is that Michelangelo's name is totally butchered! His name is being pronounced as if it were spelled "Signorelli". Other than that, you guys are fabulous:)

***
I really like the serious news stories, and your take on the news. I agree with most of what you have to say, and always enjoy your comments, even when I do not agree. I can see other aspects of stories, that I would not normally hear about in my right wing suburban, soccer mom existence. I have a difficult time finding like minded people, and have insulted or alientated most of my kids parents! It's nice to hear that I'm not the only person on this planet thinking this way!

i love when you read the survey comments. although they are anonymous, i will not say something outrageous just in hopes of mine being read. lets hope that some of the bizarre ones you've read are people going for a laugh, and not serious responses! again, love the show, keep being hard on those lame democrats and idiotic republicans and everyone in between!
