Air America On Tour?
Metropolitan Talent Presents' John Scher and Air America Radio talk show diva Randi Rhodes are working to take a different kind of show on the road - one that will combine political commentary, satire, music and comedy in a national tour of theatres and performing arts centers in 2006.
"It's in the very early planning stages, kind of in the think tank," Scher told Pollstar. "Air America has some generally well-known names like Al Franken and Janeane Garafalo, but Randi's become this regular hurricane force in its daily programming. She has a wildly loyal following, and it's just growing."
Scher and Rhodes envision a show with three parts: comedy, music and a "Politically Incorrect"-inspired panel discussion with people from both the left and right sides of the political spectrum.
Rhodes told MediaWeek.com she hopes to take the show to some of the 70-plus markets that have Air America affiliates.

1. Please come to Oklahoma!

2. That'd be cool

But I bet she won't bring it here, to a relatively small community. If the show goes to Chicago, then maybe.

3. We'd love to have you in Austin!

Al Franken appeared here to debut Air America in Austin on KOKE 1600. I'd love, love, love to see Randi -- she'd understand why our unofficial slogan is "Keep Austin Wierd." Austin is definitely an oasis in Texas.

5. That sounds awesome. I would love to see that.

6. I would go see Randi in a hartbeat, but......

Albuquerque is most likley looooooow on the list of stops. It's also a bummer that I lose the signal 50 miles out of town, so I only get to hear Randi in the evening and Al for a bit in the morning. I have to wonder about Al.

7. This is perfect for Randi

I used to listen to her when she was a Rock & Roll DJ. I believe it was on 103.5 WSHE in Miami, their tag was "She's only Rock & Roll".

8. Philly loves you, Randi

You'd upstage Live8 in a New York minute. :yourock:

10. How about some f*ing billboards...

Does Air America advertise for anything?
