How the hell did they teach you radio when ther was no student radio station?
Not very well. The thing that was great about it was that I was around a lot of
like-minded people, including many of the people I work with today. Louis
Black was a TA of mine originally, and his roommate at the time, Ed Lowry, was
one of the founders of the Chronicle. Es was the one that said, "Hey, Brent, you
need to come write at the Daily Texan." When I first came to school, some of
the best shows in town would be at the Union and pitchers were something like
two dollars and they had these parties that would last all night and sell pitchers
all night to 18 year olds. It just seems so improbable, given today's political
climate. Prop an 18-year-old down on the University of Texas campus, give him
a bunch of crazy rock and roll bands, and really cheap beer and all night parties.
Ultimately paid for by Texas taxpayers' dollars.
That's great. So there were no jobs, what else was bad about Austin? Thi is
something I really want to pursue.
