Damon Wayans, prepping for an upcoming special, got himself booked into the Bone in Bloomington.
“I’m doing an HBO special (‘WayoutTV’) so I need to make sure that it’s special,” Wayans said, adding that trying out material in Los Angeles, where “everyone is phony,” doesn’t satisfy that need.
“You can’t get a good reading there, so I take it to the middle of the country,” he said. “That’s where there’s a lot more clarity, and a different perspective on life.”
We assume that’s Illinois and not Indiana. (Scrolling halfway down the page is the outline of Illinois… then down to the bottom of the page, in the tiny type, is “Decatur, IL” But ya gotta hunt!)
It is an annoying habit of radio stations these days to never actually mention their location, or the name of the town they serve. (Not even during the weather! “It’ll be raining all throughout the region tonight.” WHAT REGION?!?!) Is it shame that drives them? We don’t know why they’d want to keep that stuff a secret. Radio stations, whose signals might not range that far, might not feel it necessary to be so specific. But a website, which can be read worldwide, should give an exact and prominent identification of its area of interest.
