If only Rahm Emanuel could really say this in public…

Hmmm…. Seems like the typical crew I see when I walk down Polk St.

At least they’re voting (except for the one who doesn’t want to get blamed for anything).

-Have a Nice Day!

A Soundman’s Advice to Jesse Jackson (and others)

Tom — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 21:36:26 +0000

Understanding that the intricacies of modern sound systems and complex audio signal flow are truly known to only a “select few” (the few, the proud…), I offer the following advice:

Before one cuts one’s own off by expressing, on-camera and on-mic, the wish to do the same to another, please consider this -

When you have a microphone strapped to your chest, there can be no expectation of privacy!!!

A microphone is NEVER really “off” (well, there are some exceptions, if it’s a condenser mic it does require 48V of phantom power, but lest I geek out while making my point, I shan’t digress further).

Whispering doesn’t help. THERE’S A MIC STRAPPED TO YOUR CHEST!!!
Claiming your crude comments were “highly private” is ludicrous. THERE’S A MIC STRAPPED TO YOUR CHEST!!!

Like, Duh.

Sheesh.

Thank you, and as always –

Have a Nice Day
