We all deal with unemployment differently. Some of us sulk, some of us try to keep ourselves busy so we don't think about it. Jonathon Brandmeier, recently let go from WLUP-FM/Chicago, just posted a rap video which takes shots at the radio suits who fired him along with his current predicament.
It goes in part:
"Johnny B.'s the best and he's got awards to prove it,
But now the suits say it's cheaper to play music.
Hey, monkey: push a button and play another song,
Talent on the radio just doesn't belong.
Enjoy this crap while you can 'cause it won't last long."

I miss you Johnny B…LOOP are you nuts???
LOVE YA JOHNNY!
The Loop SUCKS!
I can’t believe those idiots fired JB.
Is the Loop still on the air? I haven’t listened to it since this happened.
Now that Johnny B. is off the air I guess I’ll go back to cross-dressing!!!!!!
Uncle T.
What a HUGE void without JB and his crew.
His show was the only one that made us laugh and kept our interest no matter who he had on as a guest.
I can’t wait to hear him on the air or tv real soon.
We love and miss him sooooo much.
YOU ARE THE MAN JOHNNY B! WHAT’S A “LUP”

Johnny I grew up with you and the stever’–it’s a no brainer–find away to make it profitable–and join forces with the chicago radio icon–the stever’—I miss both of ya dearly…
Haven’t listened to the Loop since they let you do and do not plan to unless they hire you back.
You are by far the best radio personality Chicago has and had.
Chicago radio hasn’t been the same since
Johnny B. is just what the public needs today. There’s so many folks out there who would love to listen to a guy like him who sticks it to the Corporate stuffed shirts. Of course these are same zombies who won’t let him ar Steve Dahl back on the air in Chicago. Suck it! All you corporate wienies!! Suck it I say!!
