It started out this morning as intense and antagonizing moments for many listeners who had tuned in to find out the winner of WPGC’s America’s Next Top Jock for the Donnie Simpson Morning Show. Just hours prior, those same listeners were loging online and voting for their favorites out of the top 5 finalist picked. These 5 had gotten their own day to showcase what they had to offer not only Donnie Simpson, but the entire DMV as well. Among those top 5 was DC’s own Bootsy Vegas, better known to the Go-Go community as E of OP Tribe.
By the end of the morning, it was widely known that the new addition to Donnie’s Morning Show, in addition to the already newly added Comedian Mike Brooks, was the lovely former WAMO 106.7 Pittsburg radio personality, Anji Corley. But shortly after the announcement had been made, to the surprise of many (although not to me), Donnie had thrown an extra additive into the new mix. He also welcomed aboard the theatrical, yet brilliant Bootsy Vegas, who had run a close second.
The reason I state that it was not a surprise to me is because the results were exactly what I had predicted. I had originally thought that adding a female into Donnie’s morning mix was something that had been missing on his show for a long time, but I had also noticed that what Bootsy had brought to the table during the competition was something special enough to not let get away. Still, the agoney of waiting to find out the results was draining me, along with the others, as I followed by watching the update coverage on Fox 5’s morning news.
Bootsy, who will be a part of the show as the “Secretary of Swag” starts next week delivering his first Redskins songs for the DMV… just in time for the Redskins/Giants season opener. What ‘syces’ me even more about this second added addition is that I personally know the trials and hills that E has been dealing with for years. In the words of TMOTT’s own Spearchucker, “After all these years E has slayed the haters, and there were many. Where dey at now?????”
Congratulations both to Anji and E (err… I mean Bootsy)!
