In the midst of all the other exciting things happening this week — the release of the new Strokes album, the premiere of “Love Monkey”, the passings of Lou Rawls and Yao Wenyuan (shame they never collaborated) — it escaped my notice that the Red Sox have chosen to air the entire 2006 season on their NESN cable network, thus removing the tiny portion of games previously alloted to Channels 38 and 4.
For those of us of a certain vintage (ie. older than dirt), the Red Sox and Ch. 38 go together like pepperoni and carcinogenic cancer. Like Foxboro and venereal disease. Like Dapper O’Neil and institutionalized racism. It is impossible to think of one without the other, yet progress (in the form of Hazel Mae in HD) marches onward.
That said, it is comforting to know that Ch.38 fixture and former “Movie Loft” host Dana Hersey is not only still alive and working, but is available to provide your business or residence with that badly needed on-hold message.
in the words of a former wsbk employee “mercy…”
dana hersey has the greatest voiceover voice ever.
cancer is carcinogenic? freaky.
Dana Hersey = God.
Absolutely. This man has the grace and powerful stare of a young Chuck Woolrey. Once, in the mid eighties, fortune smiled upon me and afforded me the opportunity to wash Mr. Hersey’s car in a local charity event. I shined that 82 Trans Am until my forearms cramped up. I get a little choked up to this day looking back on it, on that car, and that man.
