Just a thought, buddays. The Big Ass theme worked ... and som many new listeners must be wanting to call in with a # of their own. Or another theme ... ideas?

You mean all those people calling in with BAC #'s are legit???I had a BAC but all I remember about my number was that it was 115(something). Or at least I think it was.  Moral of the story. Don't bring your BAC to the water rides at great adventure.<img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/down.gif" border="0" />

I was an O&A fan during the WNEW days... I didn't listen to R-n-F.  I got XM for O&A but since their free FM move I feel their show has gone down hill.  When R-n-F came to XM I would start to listen to them at lunch and thought they were funny.  Then I found myself listening every day... and now I can't stop.  I remember hearing callers saying "B.A.C. #" and I never got it... now that I'm 100% on board I get it.  I don't think it's fair to the B.A.C. holders to bring them back... but I do think it's fair to come up with a card for the XM peeps who have come aboard and pledge allegiance to R-n-F.

I totally think that BAC's should be in reissue. Whether a newbee or a battleweary veteran of the radio wars, ALL R/F fans have an equal share in their success,and failure. I am a devoted new fan{total listenership just under 3 yrs}, and have invested a lot of emotional equity into this little ol' family here and feel we all should get the opportunity to own our little peice of radio history.

I think you gotta bring them back, just with a version 2.0. I'm pissed I had 2 BAC and I gave one to someone I no longer talk to. I bet I could have auctioned that baby off in the hundreds of cents.

Quoted for truth.It's like VHD stole the thought from my head.

Still waiting for Al to send mine. I requested it in 2003. I'm sure he'll get around to it.

I can see free fm doing it, but XM doesn't seem to want to promote R&F.

Wouldn't work:"Hey Ron, BAC #5,798,347"   ----  "Wooo-Ahhhh!  That's not very old school."

Why not bring back a Free FM version of the Big ASS card? Especially now when they're gonna start doing Big ASS events again?

32069You can't turn back the clockIts old school for a reasonIf you've got the card youre lucky issuing new would just dilute what makes them specialMost people calling in are just making up a number anywayJust being in on the bit should be enough  WWRD

Some of you folks are missing the point of the Big A.S.S. cards. We who may (or may not) have them should probably not even be talking about them... Big A.S.S. Remember what it stands for?MAHABONE BUDDAYS

the point of them was a marketing angle, they got you discounts at shops, stores, etc. nothing to do with being some sort of "old skool" listener.  really who gives a fuck if you are or aren't an old listener, just what you bring to the table. they should bring them back since it's a good marketing angle.they should also revive LET THOSE PUPPIES BREATHE, since we know now that ONA ripped them off hoo hoo.
