Simple Triple Standard: The Real Official, Almost True Backstory for Modern Commercial Radio

If you've ever lived in a small town, you know about double standards... How much more complicated can a simple triple standard be, right?

Publisher Marketing: "Writer to watch." -Marsha Wright, BBC "Personalities rise up from the page." Ray Palla's SIMPLE TRIPLE STANDARD is about radio, Texas, the music scene, and a city called Austin that's as famous for bringing out the craziness of all three as it is for being a stomping ground for colorful politicians. SIMPLE TRIPLE STANDARD is more than just another "See what happened was" story about rednecks, long necks and college interns. It's a tale spun from the heart that brings it all together and makes the personalities rise up from the page. -Derrill Holly, Texas Radio Hall of Fame Inductee & Washington DC Journalist "A brimming time capsule of '70s Austin, TX nostalgia." Austin is a liberal jewel in a conservative state, and great place to live, then and now. Ray has captured the essence, sounds, and personalities of radio wars, music, & people of the '70s that put Austin on the path to become a world-class hub of culture. I was lucky enough to be a deejay on KOKE-FM, 'Super Roper Radio, ' from 1973-76. Palla tells it like it was when Austin's unique culture first began to bloom. -Jay Levine, Emmy Winning Hollywood Sound Editor "A fascinating, humble player on a huge stage." Following Bryant L Herman through the world of radio so many years ago grabbed my attention and was truly fascinating. I highly recommend SIMPLE TRIPLE STANDARD. -Wes Chick, Playwright Publisher Marketing :
