651.0. "About Stompin' Tom vs The Pearl" by KAOOA::SOWREY (Son Of Worf) Fri Jan 22 1993 08:13

    Anyone hear about Earl "The Pearl" McRae getting roasted alive on 54
    Rock today? Anyone care to guess at what might happen? Does anyone
    really know what he did to get in this mess?! (I missed the newspaper
    article).
    
    I mean, I know he doesn't like Stompin' Tom Connors (Blasphemy!), but
    to get the entire Ottawa Valley, not to mention most of Canada (or at
    least so it seems), he must've done something really nasty!
    
    I've heard that nearly every single major Canadian radio station wants
    him for an interview, almost all the local (Ottawa) radio stations and
    tv stations want the same. Stations as far away as California, Portland
    Oregon, and Texas (I think) want to interview him too! This must be a
    lulu! Anyone got the lowdown (or praises/rebuttals?)

651.1same stuff, different pileKAOFS::D_STREETFri Jan 22 1993 08:437
    He refered to Vally people as outhouse useing, nose picking, inbread,
    hayseed.... and on and on. If you know the man, his usual stuff. He
    regularly makes statements that get him in trouble, but at least this
    one has some humour. (Not like his "editorial" on the killings at the
    school in Montreal, which found him OFF the air for a few months)
