Do Not Ever Touch My Playlist!

Post by genlock »

AUSTIN — A volunteer at a community radio station set fire to the station because he was upset that his song selections for an overnight Internet broadcast were changed, police said.

Paul Webster Feinstein, 24, has been charged with second-degree felony arson for the Jan. 5 fire that caused $300,000 damage to the studios of 91.7 FM KOOP. He faces from two to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine if convicted.

Feinstein told investigators that he was "very unhappy" about the changes to his playlist, said Austin Fire Department Battalion Chief Greg Nye. The songs were intended for an Internet broadcast that occurs when the station is off the air.

"He had a dream of a career in radio and was very disappointed about where it had led him," Nye said.
"Everyone Should be aware that you're just a screen grab away from infamy."

Such wisdom from a....a fire chief?!?

Wow.

"Yes, you do; you just won't admit it!"

Geez!!!! Having seen those words in print gave me flashbacks to around twenty five years ago when I had to call the Fairmont Fire Department around 4:55am. My side of the conversation went like this: "Hi. This is Scott Reppert at WFGM and I have a question. Is the building I'm sitting in right now on fire?"

Now see!! There you all go again!! NEVER TAKING THE FUNNY MAN SERIOUSLY!! There was a fire at WFGM back in the early 1980's when it was Stereo 98. It became known as "The Carriage House Fire" and was found out to be arson. I was on the air when the deal went down and Denny Burnworth and I evacuated all the offices and studios of important stuff. I don't make a lot of this up!!
