I once volunteered at the phone bank for KCTS many moons ago, taking down names, addresses and credit card info. And I'll admit it was probably the nicest volunteer experience I ever had. We were catered by one of the most ridiculously expensive Asian restaurants in town, volunteering for an hour, then a food break (in which we all made complete pigs of ourselves - that dim sum was absolutely delicious) and mini-tour of the station while another group of volunteers did the phones, then back to the phones while the other group had their food/station tour. Then, after scarfing down another plate of the catered food and shaking countless hands with nearly everybody, left.
But KCTS really got annoying to me when for many many years, EVERY fundraiser, they always ran "Roy Orbison: A Black & White Night". Yes, it's Roy Orbison, yes, it's classic performances. But c'mon! There are others.
I'm wondering if KCTS will ever understand my generation. It would have been nice to have seen a Metallica concert and George Ray offering the "Live S#!t: Binge & Purge" box set for a nice premium. But NOOO! It was ALWAYS Roy Orbison. TWICE every stinking year. They finally lost me as a subscriber.
