Stephen King's Maine radio stations will go silent for good on New Year's Eve

I do have to say the guy is incredibly prolific even though he shit on the bbbbbbooooyyys.

I walked past one of those "leave a book, take a book" huts yuppies put in front of their houses and grabbed a stephen king collection of novellas. I didn't realize until I got home, out of the four novellas, one became Shawshank Redemption and the other Stand By Me.

He just shits out two classic movie plots in a random collection of novellas

King’s short stories are better than his novels.

Apt Pupil was also made into a movie.

The second story, Apt Pupil, was also made into a movie. It was made by Bryan Singer and starred Ian McKellen, so they turned it into a super gay thriller whose premise was basically "nazis were all repressed faggots." Also got rid of the novella's disturbing ending - the golden boy going out as a spree shooter - and replaced it with the kid yelling at David Schwimmer. Lame.

Radio stations. Why didn't he open an icehouse, or a blacksmith shop too? And maybe a corner soda shop where they sell comic books in spinner racks. Then he'd really be on to something.

Those all would have been much much cooler and beneficial to society. Instead, Stephen had to try and broadcast his child rape fantasies to everyone! Eric Hildemann approves.

At this point, everyone agrees the wacky Maine character with the Maine-ah accent was definitely just Stephen King himself, right? Article says he just poured money into the failing enterprise for decades because he liked the idea of having these wacky INDEPENDENT radio stations up in Bangor

This is actually a classic Jocktober worth relistening to

 

[Honeycomb Hideout]

I just like Stephen King because he goes to Fenway Park alot

That's a four hour drive from Bangor!

 

[Mick_Mickerson]

Also this is the Jocktober with the guy eating all the whacky beef jerky flavors, right?

Yes, that's the "Drifty" character people think is just Stephen King. That theory holds more weight now because I saw in the comments Drifty still calls in after all these years lol

King hooked those djs up because it's the same guys today as that 2009 jocktober as the station was losing millions of dollars according to the press release

 

[Ant_It_Fun]

Fred Zeppelin is still there as well.

 

[Vito Carlucci]

Stephen King literally wants to shove me and Ant up his ass

 

[HH Brother]

To make up for this, he'll put a scene in his next novel where a child gets raped in an abandoned radio station...

Suck cock for K-Rock-ster.

 

[TheGhostOfAbeVigoda]

Every single time I remember that he got hit by a van it makes me giggle. Every time.

 

[KaNAMBLA Harris]

I would like to extend my sympathies to Jeff Zeplin as he deals with a sudden layoff during the Christmas season

Another Jocktober program bites the dust. I’ll miss “The Comedian Bob Marley”, cause that’s how they had to describe him when he showed up on Raw Dog. Drifty and his skunk jerky and his Cock-a-doodle chew. Fred Zeppelin, oof this was a horrible/great Jocktober, one of my favorites.

Off topic, but I looked up from the same year as this jocktober both Chunky and Loper, Smitty and Randi. Chunky, after leaving formerly 92.3 Now, has been shunted all over the country for DJ work, but also lost a shit ton of weight, like half his size. LSR dropped Smitty quickly and eventually got kicked off West Palm Beach Florida. They went to Columbus Ohio and languished there until they were booted about two years ago. From what I’ve read, they’re also now divorced. Seems 2009 Jocktober shows have had some bad luck.

Relistening to the jocktober and FAGGOT Bob Marley makes me so mad. His entire fuckin shtick is hes from Maine and talks like a retard. Nice act that appeals to 2% of the country, stupid. The average construction worker from Boston is way funnier than him when they're just talking and not trying. I'd respect him if he opened every show going "WHAT'S THE MATTER, FAGGOT? YOU WERE EXPECTING THAT REEFER HEAD JIGABOO? TOO BAD. HEY, SPEAKING OF NIGGERS, I LOVE MAINE BECAUSE THERE ARE NONE! ANYONE ELSE FROM MAINE?!?!"

The problem with New England based comedy is the shit is all so self-aware. Menus say "Lobstah" instead of "Lobster" etc. and younger people don't have the strong accent anymore because it's become such a "thing"

BANGOR, Maine (AP) — Stephen King’s raucous rock ‘n’ roll radio station is going silent at year’s end.

The renowned author and lifelong rocker who used to perform with the Rock Bottom Remainders, a rock band that featured literary icons, said Monday that at age 77, it’s time to say good-bye to three Bangor, Maine, stations that have been bleeding money. King kept the stations afloat for decades, and he said he and his wife, Tabitha, are proud to have kept them going for so long.

How THAT Feel, FUCKER?!?!?!

Someone slipped and told him about spotify

Great work Stephen, a genuinely rare celebrity author who wrote some pretty good books who, when his career went into downturn after decades, decided to nuke it all by being a bitch-whore for the democrats for $$ on twitter. Shit on his fan base, shit on his own readers and now post-election likely called his agent and said 'I've fucking had enough, I'm not fucking doing this shit for another 4 years, I'm 77 fucking years old!!!'. Maybe he'll go back to 'writing' for his diminishing audience, without the Dem checks he can't afford his hobby-stations anymore. Un-fucking-believable what dickheads will do for money and to hold onto their celebrity - and for what? To preach to people who don't even buy his books, fuckin' incredible, pathetic ending overall.

He has more money than he could count, the dude made how many 100 million dollar movies? He's got at least a quarter billion left, he could have kept those stations open with a small trust fund if he still wanted them.

He's also written and sold 5 books in the last 2 years, he could slap together old notes from his trash and sell another multi million dollar book with a movie deal. It sounds like you have no idea what you are talking about but will continue talking anyway.

 

[JebJoh]

Didn’t he buy the stations because there was no good classic rock stations by him and he had nothing to listen to when driving? Get an iPod, stupid. Also this is the Jocktober with the guy eating all the whacky beef jerky flavors, right?

If I had a half billion, I'd buy a radio station and program it just for myself. Can't fault him for this
