I've gone through a lot of ups and downs ups and downs pl.n. Alternating periods of good and bad fortune or spirits. ups and downs Noun, pl alternating periods of good and bad luck or high and low spirits ,'' Paul Volpe, the radio personality known as Kaptain Kaos, told students at a Monterey High School Monterey High School can refer to the following secondary schools:
Accompanied by the young disc jockeys who have taken part in his ``DJ for a Day'' program, Volpe brought a message delivered to his radio audience every week on Pasadena's KALI-FM (106.3): Be peaceful and be aware of the world's many cultures. Volpe had presented a weekly radio program called ``Cutting Edge Subterranean Music Show'' on Glendale's KIEV-AM (870) for more than three years. The show specialized in cultural awareness and frequently included international music, he said. The show was canceled March 30 after Volpe broadcast tracks from an album recorded by Pope John Paul II Pope John Paul II (Latin: Ioannes Paulus PP. II, Italian: Giovanni Paolo II, Polish: Jan Paweł II) born Karol Józef Wojtyła . Volpe sued Salem Communications Corp., the station's owner, alleging breach of contract, defamation of character and infliction in·flic·tion n. 1. The act or process of imposing or meting out something unpleasant. 2. Something, such as punishment, that is inflicted. Noun 1. of emotional distress emotional distress n. an increasingly popular basis for a claim of damages in lawsuits for injury due to the negligence or intentional acts of another. Originally damages for emotional distress were only awardable in conjunction with damages for actual physical harm. . The in-house legal counsel for Camarillo-based Salem Communications, Jonathan Block, said Thursday that the lawsuit has no merit. According to the $4 million suit, filed April 28 in Los Angeles Superior Court, KIEV's station director forbid Volpe from playing international music with foreign-language lyrics. Volpe protested, saying he already had bought advertisements and published the itinerary for March 27's show, when he intended to feature ``Abba Pater PATER. Father. A term used in making genealogical tables. .'' The CD is an 11-track collection of music and messages from the pontiff. The pope's multilingual disc encourages charity, forgiveness and peace. Volpe played the disc and his program was canceled three days later, the documents say. The attorney for Salem said Volpe had been warned about playing songs with profane lyrics. The program was yanked because he continued to play music with inappropriate language. Volpe denies that. Block said he was not aware of a station policy against playing international music. ``I think Mr. Volpe's attorneys have made more out of this with the press than they will be able to make out of it in court,'' Block said. Volpe had a different opinion: ``I call it a Salem witch hunt.'' Volpe has taken his ``Subterranean Music Show'' back to the airwaves via KALI Kali (kä`lē) [Hindi,=the Black One], important goddess in popular Hinduism and Tantra. Known also as Durga [the Inaccessible] and as Chandi [the Fierce], Kali is associated with disease, death, and destruction. in Pasadena. His student disc jockeys left KIEV with him and the whole group can be heard on various nights on KALI. CAPTION(S): photo Photo: Volpe |
