I really enjoy how Jason has been coaching callers on this board. I can think of noone better for the task.
Along those lines...
Isn't it time that people stop calling with the sole intention of praising someone that Tom likes?
We all know that (Ted Leo, Julie Klausner, Paul F Tompkins, John Hodgman, Wild Flag, ect.) are geniuses at what they do, and nice people off stage. If you go to one of their events and something interesting happens, then I say call.
But if every Ted Leo fan called in and said how great Ted Leo is, would that be much of a show?
