Goldberg named exec for Air America Radio

NEW YORK - Danny Goldberg, a longtime music industry executive, took over as chief executive of Air America Radio on Thursday in the latest sign that the liberal talk radio network is gaining its footing after a rocky start.
Goldberg, whose New York-based record label Artemis represents artists including Steve Earle and the late Warren Zevon, took over from acting CEO Doug Kreeger, who stepped aside in December but remains an adviser and board member for the company.

In addition to a long career in the music industry, including stints heading up Mercury Records Group, Atlantic Records and Warner Bros. Records, Goldberg has also been a longtime activist for liberal causes. He is a board member of the American Civil Liberties Union and wrote a book in 2003 called "Dispatches from the Culture Wars: How the Left Lost Teen Spirit."

"This change for me has been taking my avocation and some of my business skills and turning it into my vocation," Goldberg said.

3. Check out his book, "Culture Wars: How the Left Lost Teen Spirit"

Very interesting read about the connection between popular music and the Democrats.

4. Oh, EXCELLENT!!!

I used to work for a guy named Ken Shaefer(who perfected the wireless guitar setup) and Danny had a small office next door. He used to come in and hang out with us(partly because Barbara, the brains of the thing, was so smart and finer than a frog's hair).

Danny is a REAL smart cookie. He really knows the game. He is gonna kick this thing in the ass so hard. Trouble is, the only people that will be hurt by the kick is the repukes. ;-)

5. BIG Democratic donor

We don't have to worry about Danny being a wolf in sheep's clothing...
