Song parody: The Blue Spade sings “Chris Dumler Should Be Leaving”
Courtesy of The Blue Spade, aka, Scott Bandy, following are the lyrics to his most recent music parody, “Chris Dumler Should Be Leaving,” a song that chronicles Albemarle County’s embattled, sex offender / Supervisor, Christopher Dumler. Despite a howling bi-partisan chorus of calls for his resignation, Dumler will not leave, hence this renewed, musical plea. [...]
Song parody: Save UVa
Courtesy of The Blue Spade, aka, Scott Bandy, following are the lyrics to his latest parody, Save UVa, a song about Teresa Sullivan, Helen Dragas and the University of Virginia’s recent dismissal/reinstatement debacle. Sung to the tune of the Beatles’ version of “Till There Was You,” the serenade was delivered live on The Schilling Show, [...]
McIntosh, Galvin and Paul: A musical tribute to political mediocrity
Like establishment Democrats before them, Peter McIntosh, Kathy Galvin, Paul Beyer, and Satyendra Huja all said “no” or did not respond to repeated invitations to share their vision for Charlottesville on The Schilling Show. These political invertebrates stand in stark contrast to dozens of Dems over the years that accepted without reservation (including fellow 2011 [...]
Box of rocks: Democrat Szakos damns nTelos with faint condemnation
In an astonishing moment of abject arrogance Charlottesville City Councilor, Kristen Szakos (aka the Moat Monster), has openly vilified—from a highly visible public platform—a local business engaged in pursuing financial success. The provoking corporate crime? A desire to advertise wireless mobile products to a broader audience. The Moat Monster’s vicious verbal assault on nTelos Inc. [...]
Banned from the airwaves: Schilling Show theme mix removed after legal threats
Due to legal threats from an enraged listener and after internal complaints, a short-lived Schilling Show theme-song revision has been yanked from the program. A mash-up of three different versions of “Takin’ it to the Streets” (Take 6, The Doobie Brothers, Quincy Jones), the show theme features WINA station callers and in-studio guests making humorous [...]
The Ballad of Norrishood and Szakos
Buying votes with taxpayer money is nothing new in machine politics, but in Charlottesville, central party Democrats have raised political bribery to an art form. Here, for your listening pleasure, is an exclusive, special production of The Schilling Show: The Ballad of Norrishood and Szakos. The song chronicles the political chicanery employed by Dave Norris, [...]
Tom Perriello: Shocking new forged letter uncovered
This has not been a good week for Congressman Tom Perriello. After nearly being bamboozled into voting “NO” on Cap and Trade legislation by forged letters sent to his Congressional office, now another phony letter has surfaced. This time, someone has attempted to falsify Tom Perriello’s letterhead in a correspondence sent to Charlottesville Mayor, David [...]
The Schilling Show featured in The Hook
Thanks to writer Lindsay Barnes and editor Hawes Spencer for publishing an excellent cover story on Rob Schilling, and his radio program, The Schilling Show, in the June 25, 2009 edition of The Hook. (Also, kudos to photographer Tom Daly for his professional contribution.) The multi-page narrative chronicles Rob’s pre-political life in California, his subsequent [...]
More music from your host
As a follow-up to our popular “bumper music brought to life” post, here’s another long-lost gem from The Schilling Show video vaults. In this clip, Rob, and his band, The Johnsons, nail the Three Dog Night classic, Mama Told Me (Not to Come). Dig those 3-part harmonies! This was the band’s final “official” show before [...]
Charlottesville City (briefly) commandeers The Schilling Show
At high noon, on Wednesday, April 1, our regular programming was unexpectedly interrupted when the Charlottesville Department of Disinformation (a long-time nemesis of The Schilling Show) briefly commandeered the WINA studios to institute more balanced programming. Although it made for an ugly scene, The Schilling Show posse (Rob, Leon, Jay, Faketa, etc.) eventually retook control [...]
