She has said a number of times that the phones worked earlier in the day and now they don't, which suggests she is constantly doing something stupid that wrecks the phone software.
Notice also how she talks about the phones ringing off the hook, a nice old reference, but if she's on soft phones, there are no phones, no hooks, and they don't
"ring." Another tribute to Art? Feh.
Yuck.
Yet you and so many others still seem to hang on to her every word with her “personal audio blog†while there are plenty of quality shows out there to listen to. She very well could be a phone idiot but, have you ruled out the possibility of factors changing with what’s going on with the internet connection, background computers, servers, etcetera during a live show before forming your well thought out expert opinion? I know others that can’t even get one phone line to work without getting frazzled. Have you also ruled out others doing unscrupulous acts to her “soft†phone system during a show? Confusing a phone system is quite easy if you have a little more than basic working knowledge of how they work. Especially VOIP systems.
You’re really grasping at straws on this one. Phones ringing off the hook is a common figure of speech. I use the term damn near daily and didn’t learn it from Art. It’s just as innocent of a term as saying hotter than a whore in church, I’ve got a shit ton of work to do or you’re as full of shit as a Christmas goose.
