Why wouldn't I play the Dead?
I actually like the Dead, but when I went over to ZLX I decided to put together a bunch of demands for my new bosses, and really "push the envelope." Refusing to play a ZLX staple like the Dead seemed to be a good idea at the time (Bad Company might have been a better choice -- but no one would have cared if I refused to play BadCO -- so I just stuck to my guns). I actually did end up playing the Dead towards the end, but I still got held accountable by the 40,104 Deadheads out there who still thought I worked for the "other" station.
