Well, I slept like a baby. A baby that has been fired and rejected by its parents and dropped in the dumpster.

Leaving my phone number on Yesterday's posting may seem like a bad move, but so many great people have left messages, expressing their feelings that no one else wanted to hear or cared about hearing.

There are many wonderful listeners who called and sent e-mails. Here's just a small sampling:
------------------------------------------------------
Weeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaak!

Interesting how you have to give notice when
you leave a job, but they can fire you without
notice! That blows!

So where's the podcast? Better have one up
by tomorrow so the people who go to your
website have something to listen to.

I just heard.

What the hell, You rocked
that place!

Alright, well I'll try and keep my furor
low for now. I'm sure they had a perfectly
good reason...

You can do a whole where is Jerry Lentz thru
your site, or other sites? And point people to
you're next gig? You can call it, "Where
in the World is the World Famous Jerry Lentz?"

Kinda catchy, you are World Famous after all.

Well, dude, I'm really sorry to hear about it. I'm
sure you must be stressed out right now. Or
maybe gone into hibernation. I hope you're
handling it well and trying to keep your
momentum. You're so much better than
all that you were putting up with. I hope
you can jump right to a tv show. I know you'll do
good at it all.

Take care of your bad self.

Later tator,

Hey Jerry,

Just wondering, what has happened to the Front
Row? I havent heard anything the last few days
on the show, that would indicate you guys no
being on any longer. I look up the front row website.
Please tell me whats going on! I'm a great fan of the
Front Row, and I dont want to see you guys go.

Johnny
-------------------------------------------
I can't believe you guys got canceled..... You guys have
actually -saved my life- on several occasions simply by
waking me up with a laugh before I drove off the rode.
You guys were the only redeeming quality to Fresno
morning radio. If you get another show PLEASE let
me know so I can listen in.

A loyal fan-
William
--------------------------------------------
Hey Jerry what is going on and what is going to
happen to the Front Row?

Chad
---------------------------------------------
So I'm driving to work listening to ZR as I always do
when I hear some announcement of a new show.
What the hell? I've listened to the Front Row and it was
the only good one on the air. I'll be honest Jerry, I really like
you and then they can you. I hope you stay here
in Fresno, but I wouldn't blame you if you didn't. I have
your podcast bookmarked at home so I'll listen for any
Watts Valley Wolf Ape stories, but it won't be the same.
Good luck in finding a job and I hope you stay in Fresno.

Mike

Duds this sucks !!!! I literally grew up with this show.
When Did they tell you , and why did they not let you
guys have friday as a "swan song" at the very least.
I am very disappointed right now.

Anyway, sorry, hopefully things will improve ...
I will check your site periodically to see if you find
anything new in Fresno. I wish you the best of luck.

Whats up with this? Tell me they aren't getting rid of
you.

I'm sad to hear that the front row is gone... I've been
listening since it started. I was pretty young, but my
dad listened to the show and he's the one that got me
started. I think i was like 8 or 9 when it started... and i'm
almost 25 now. I was a friend of show caller since i was 15,
although i haven't been able to call in for awhile since i got
a real job. This really sucks man... Well i wish you
the best in your further endeavors, i really enjoyed listening
to you.

Thanks for the Morning laughs... You will be missed

Alissa

Jerry...what are you going to do now? Can I help you in
any way? I wanted to ask, but I didn't want to seem rude
or insensitive. That is NOT my motivation at all. Please
let me know. If there's anything that I can do...please let
me know.
------------------------------------------------
well any way I am trying organize a boycott of my
former favorite rock station. I wouldn't have been
nearly as offended if I had at least known they were
replacing you!!!!! I could not believe it. I am truly enraged
by this move. I want the people to rise up and fight for
what we want to hear.

-Jason
-------------------------------------------------
what's up jerry...just one of your fans that was really
disappointed this morning. Was wondering what the hell
was going on. You rocked. I know you won't have any
problems getting a job on air. I know the rest of the crew
won't either. Well take it easy man, I'll
smoke and drink one for the "front row" tonight! Peace.

Hey Jerry you don't know me but I listen to you just
about every morning on the front row morning show.
And one of the few times i missed the show was the last
show. i found out a bad way to find out. i went to check out
the web site cause i wanted to see what you were up
to if anything new and i could not access the web site. so
i went to the home page and my heart dropped into my
stomach when i saw the home page.

man i feel sick. i have heard that show since i was in jr. high.
i am now 28. can you imagine how i feel? man its like you
said it is like you guys died. man i am sitting here writing
to you and i still can not believe its true.

sorry man i hope things work out for you. i want to thank
you for dedication to broadcasting great material. i am
deeply sorry and i am going to miss you. you where like
family to me. i hope i can hear you again someday.
so sad and hurt

Well, I think it can be good to get things off your chest and express your feelings. I'm not sure thoughts of violence, boycotts of advertisers, e-mail campaigns to staff and petitions to Corporate will do anything.

I don't believe anyone but maybe a few here locally wanted this to happen. Those that might have, aren't in charge.

Everyone hates change. People hated me when I started. Some people learned to hate me. Some hate me now.

There's nothing like being the ugly adopted kid in a new family of pretty brothers and sisters. But if you give everyone at least a chance, you might make a great new friend.

If you still can't stand the changes after a few months, well, you can do what you want, but If you want to hang with me on this site and call and e-mail me... I'm here for ya!

Local media has been great to me today and Yesterday. Some advertisers that supported me on the show and had me voice their commercials have approached me about cutting off their monies to Clear Channel.

I don't really want that!

I know people think that's good and makes a point, but I want to work and I would rather you show your strengths in supporting me, my advertisers and my work through ratings and through any charity work or groups I highlight.

My new goal is to get a TV Show that I've been working on be picked up as a series here locally. Your help and support will be greatly appreciated.

I do want to get another radio show as soon as possible. Some very nice inquiries from other stations and formats about me have and are coming in and believe me that's nice to be wanted. And when and if a show comes open for me, then you can come with me just as those advertisers will.

Then we'll have a HUGE Party!

Keep my home number and bookmark this page! E-mail me all you want!

Don't stop the Area 69, Ghosts, or Watts Valley Wolf Ape letters! Those make me very happy! Scared, but happy!

I got an e-mail today from a fan who says he believes he saw the Wolf Ape in a home movie of a school friend of his when they were kids. He said he would try and get it in video for me. I'll post it here if it comes true.

Please keep in touch, there are four hours out of my day now that I used to truly feel alive, that are now gone. So I need to stay in touch with you more than ever!
