Joe Viglione's war against OEDIPUS is revealed on this Discussion Board page

The link to this discussion is:

http://boards.radio-info.com/smf/index.php?topic=46453.0;wap

Joe Viglione is using the alias Varulven, which is the name of his record label


 ========================================================
Radio-Info.com Discussion Boards » Boston » A legitimate question about OEDIPUS: Why hasn't he bounced back?
Pages: (1/13) > >>

Varulven:
The Rules:

1)You can't post a response if you aren't using a name known as a legitimate handle (read, someone who doesn't "blow smoke"), or can't point to a website proving you are a real flesh and blood person

2)Don't turn the question around and make it about me.  Ya got TWO threads on this board already to play that
   game.  Disrupting the thread will only prove you don't have a valid point of view.

Background:  Some on this board believe that Oedipus (Ed Hyson, former WBCN Program Director) was a radio giant when he ruled the 104.1 signal.  Others believe he was a man of little talent who was installed by
Mel Karmazin to be the "hatchet man" to cut payroll.

Oevidence: Few of the men and women Oedipus hired have gone on to become industry legends the way
Charles Laquidara, Matty in the Morning, Dale Dorman and other icons have survived the many changes in radio.

In fact, it would be hard to name a disc jockey Oedipus brought up from WMBR or WFNX that had any lasting power beyond their stint with CBS radio.   God love 'em Albert O, Bradley J, Tracy Roach, Juanita The Scene Queen were all competent, but they didn't go into syndication a la Opie & Anthony, Howard Stern, or the new wave of talk radio - the Rush Limbaugh / Bill O'Reilly / Ed Schultz / Randi Rhoads people with national airtime.

If Oedipus was so important and vital to Boston radio, why hasn't Clear Channel picked him up?

Why not let him run the Country Station at Greater Media.  Fact is, if Loren & Wally could do Country,
and Oedipus is equal to or a bigger legend in Boston radio than L & W, why shouldn't he take over the new Country station that takes the place of WCRB on the dial?

Or the FNX Radio Network.  If Oedipus was so good at finding talent at 101.7, wouldn't he be the logical choice to run the FNX Radio Network?

a)it would be a challenge
b)It would show us that he's got what it truly takes

This is a valid question.  People have gone on and on and on about my resume and demanding to know what year I wrote for Billboard and what year The Boston Globe published me and what year my third album came out in the Benelux countries along with France, The U.K., Germany etc., etc.  I have responded to all the Swifties - BUT - as many have stated - I'M NOT IN BOSTON RADIO.

Oedipus is...or was.  The Oedipus Foundation is all well and good.  Why has Mel Karmazin not picked up the phone and called his Golden Boy.  I don't want to hear he has "retired".  Soon he will be 58 years of age - if he is so talented, it can't be age discrimination.

Arnie Woo Woo Ginsburg, John Garabedian, Little Walter, all the legends got hired and fired and hired again.
They all got major gigs time and time again, Woo Woo & John H got V-66, John H has the House Party,
Walter is probably the #1 mastering engineer in the world for 50's music.  And he's still on the radio.

Oedipus has only had one commercial radio gig that we know of where, my God, even I've been on more commercial radio than Oedipus!  And it is only my hobby.

There ya go.  Fair question.  Real people with answers, not changing the subject back to me, are welcome to respond.

Thank you.  What has Oedipus done for us lately?  He is "Mr. Boston Radio" according to many on this alleged "radio" board.

Smoke:
The only one here obsessed with the man is you.

He's a millionaire who doesn't need to work.  Why does that suprise you?

content:
Do you really think Oedipus is puting his resume' out there to get another PD job?

I aspire to be in Oedipus's financial position when I'm in my 50's.  If I were Oedipus, I would not want to subject myself to the headaches of day-to-day station operation after a lifetime of it.   He has enough money where he can enjoy his life and participate in radio at the pace which he feels like. (while he can also continue to read fan mail from obsessed stalkers)

Varulven:
Smoke couldn't resist.  You are not qualified to respond as you won't reveal yourself.

If money was the deciding factor, many more Program Directors should be a lot richer than Oedi.
They just didn't break the rules, as Smoke just did.

To reiterate: Oedi was in radio, Smoke won't reveal himself and turned the attack on me - again.
Smoke can't resist disrupting legitimate threads.  [EDIT]

Content - another one breaking the rule.  Perhaps Oedi has nothing better to do than defend himself.

bostonmusicman:
Since when do you make the rules??? You can't restrict people from posting because your crazy sick mind thinks they are under "handles". See a specialist.

Oedipus has a lot of money... much more than you. The guy can sit on that money the rest of his life and not be bothered.. except by insane people with theories who persistently follow him

Varulven:
This is a legitimate post about a legitimate radio personality that you have hijacked.    I look at how many posts you have and wonder if this is all you do with your life.  450 - veteran   1159 - excessive.

Brooklyndon:
my thoughts...he got fired at the start of the summer, probably got a nice severance.  He probably bought some nice high yielding instrument with the bulk of the severence, enabling him to "live-off-the-interest" forever, and used a small portion of the severance to learn to surf, hike the presidential range, read books to children, or take a dump in the back of a movie theatre and sit a few seats behind and watch someone sit in it, all just to kill time while the debt matures. 


In all cases, he's probably loaded and semi-retired.  Good for him.

1. begs the question: do you plan on walking away from the game, say, around post 619?

2. this reminds me of a story: goldilocks broke into the bears' den because she had nothing better to do with her time.  she found a computer with this thread at radio-info opened in the web browser.  first she tried talking to sam horn, he only had 18 posts -- too few!  then she tried talking to smoke who had 1,159 posts -- too many!  then she tried to talk to varulven

2a. but she only had 1 post

450 since Radio-Info version 3 started.

1150 since Radio-Info version 2 started (years ago).

I can't do the exact math without the months, but you're ahead of me in speed.

Joe, you're really starting to lose it and I worry for your health.

Ron Jippey:
Oedipus is wealthy, single and childless. He doesn't need a job and doesn't want one--every five weeks, sweating trends, dealing with imbecile prima-donna talent and a sales staff up his ass.

And, as a bonus, an obsessed stalker.

Bounce back? What for?

Varulven:
[EDIT]

100 or so reads so quickly!  Yikes - doesn't anyone have anything else to do on a Sunday night?

(I can post the voluminous writing I'm doing off this list, but that would just really get people angry!)

Credible people notice:

1)No one can name a "famous" jock launched by Oedi

2)They all say he's "Rich" (or most of 'em) when, in fact, rich men like John Garabedian and Howard Stern LOVE to be on the air.  Half the fun for a pro is working. 

Knowing Oedi better than most I would guess he's ripping that no one has put him back on the air;
Professionals love their work and never retire.  Hacks can't cut it when they are cut loose.

No one answered the question legitimately: Why hasn't he bounced back, and why haven't his "discoveries" made it beyond his small world here in Boston?

NO!! please don't write about us please!!! we'll be ruined! we're sorry! we love you and respect you as a writer/enterainer/tv star ect ect ! please don't write about us in a blog somewhere!!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :P

Varulven:
No, not a bio on everyone here; liner notes that have nothing to do with this site.  It's too bad we can't get some credible responses to the important questions here.  I would like to be enlightened - what great jocks came out of WBCN after the Oedi era - jocks on the level of Charles, Howard Stern, Joe Smith from BZ.  It shouldn't be that difficult a question. 

Pages: << < (4/13) > >>

Ron Jippey:
That was a disruption?

In what world?

SonicAl:
My guess is also that he retired or went on sabbatical. He's been in the 'biz,' how long? Almost 30 years, correct? Hell, if I was in my 50s and got a decent severence package, I'd probably want to pursue other passions if I had the werewithal (sp?) to do it.

I don't listen to BCN except for the Pats. Had Oedipus been on the air as a DJ at all in recent years? I ask that in seriousness--I don't know.

ps... it's Randi RHODES...





Ron Jippey:
Oedipus did the occasional Sunday night, Nocturnal Omissions.

The case of projection going on here is amazing. No one has ever asked Oedipus if he missed broadcasting, so the idea that "all jocks long to be on the air" really means that one "jock" (sidekick) that got canned 19 years ago by Bill Smith longs to be on the air.

And spends their time writing liner notes for an album never made, produced by a company that doesn't exist

Varulven:
The Moderator really has to do some Troll cleaning tonight.

1)I was never anyone's "sidekick".  And it was long after the BilL Smith era that I produced at 93.7; if you are going to be obnoxious and write lies, at least try to mix some fact in.

2)Many, many liner notes have come from my fountain pen.  This is my own personal album, which I'm sure you'll be the first one to buy off I Tunes.

Keep looking because my deal isn't with I Tunes.  (Ad Hominem attack from a brand new poster will follow)

Ron Jippey:
Just pathetic.

Every thread on this board ends up as "I Me Mine" as covered by Joe Viglione.
[EDIT]

Banned or not, here's a legitimate question: What are the odds of Viglione ever drawing a check for broadcasting work EVER AGAIN ANYWHERE?

Absolutely none, period, never, ever, over and out.


And as far as "your own personal album" goes, uhh, your album?  Is that like the album my kid cousin made on his computer the other day?  Self realized and self financed, never to be heard by anyone?"  Is that like most of your original material that's never heard a second of airtime on any station in America?

Ban away, moderator, as I know you will.

[EDIT=ad hominem attack]

Pages: << < (5/13) > >>

Varulven:
It would be fair of this brand new poster, Ron Jippey or whatever the name is, to come clean.  It doesn't take courage to attack from the shadows.

Being in radio PART TIME as a Hobby more people have probably heard me worldwide - paying gigs - than many on this board will get to be heard in the next 12 months. 

People know the resume; if we are to assume you are brand new (which would be a stretch), it would be boring to have to list all the credits again.  Anyway, I just finished a tough CD burn of great music shipped to me via e mail (from outside this great country) that has to be pressed tomorrow - on a holiday - and overnighted.  So while I am somewhat amused by this board, I have stacks of real work to do.  Your vicious slurs about a man who is courageous enough to put his name here are just that.  Vicious slurs.  I have a good idea who you are.  The truth is, my days are full and yours are not.  That's why I post my name and you cannot and will not.

The friends of mine on this board know who I am, and what I do for a living.  You seem very angry and jealous to keep writing lies without saying who you are.

Every thread does not end up a JV thread. Only those where people come in and attack him for his opinion. THEN it becomes all about Joe. If noone would say anything about Joe, Joe would not have much more than his opinion, or stories about his experience to post.

Your opinion is a valid one. You question his professionalism/talent...unfortunately history has shown that this means he will respond with another resume and portfolio. keep the questions relevant to his talent, and leave out the ad hominem remarks.


Managing Board Editor

Varulven:


Thanks, Board Editor, for reiterating that thought. 

It's "Ron Jippey" now asking questions.  OK, here we go: 

Varulven has a brand new single out from a brand new band,
but we ain't going to post it here because, incredibly, there are too many vultures to take away from those who would appreciate that knowledge.  Anyone who wants a copy can always ask - great new band with a sound like The Police meets The Cars in the New Millennium.

In the meantime you can go listen to our previous single - it's by me and it is called "There's Nothing Like A Hit."

We've got lots of records in release - and they sell all around the world.  As WAAF's Carmelita noted recently, fetching big bucks.  All due respect to Howie Carr but some of our discs get more money than his book!

In regards to Jippey's false information:   Well, Tower Records has the New Rose 4 CD boxed set with my song
"Moving Forward".  New Rose/Paris also just released my version of Willie Loco Alexander's RADIO HEART on the ultra (bonus track) re-release of PLAY NEW ROSE FOR ME.  You can get that in many U.S. Stores.

A Kentucky label (I'm not kidding, how close to Kansas is that) re-released "I Want You Sexually", and "There's Nothing Like A Hit" just got picked up by a British label for release in about a month or so.

So you can get LOTS of Count product that Ron Jippey's cousin would LOVE to do Dance Mixes of.  ALL the French albums are being re-released with Bonus Tracks!  Be sure to reserve your copy of these collectors editions!

Life's Work is currently available.  I just finished "Secret Things" tonight  (as well as the CD I have to prepare for another label, which I just completed) and there's a studio session tomorrow.

Life is good.  Thank you for asking.  Varulven Records: Boston's Original Rock Label.

As heard on WBCN which played L-88, Moe Tucker, Unnatural Axe, Barb Kitson & much more of our classic Boston music!

P.S. The Nazz (remember "Hello, It's Me") are doing a trance version of "There's Nothing Like A Hit" for the re-release of my single!

seriouly dude, he started this post to get people to attack him!!! he even said it!!

 if he's putting his "resume" out here as some legit radio resume then he should be open to have his resume "examined" by the people here!

i don't know why it's ok for him to inult people like howie or nik for what they do/did or the place they are at now!

And how many times the people on here have to say to him WE DON'T CARE what you've done. if he thinks he's sooo much better then EVERYONE here then WHY does he hang around here?? he doen't need to be banned he just needs to relize we're not as good as him.

hes only on here for the drama of it. it's like somebody that burns down houses so they can call the fire department and report it. he loves the attention of it!

And we really can't blame the board editor for babying him. i've been on the recieving end of his wacky emails and calls to the boss ect. i can't imagaine the crap the board owners get from him about lawyers and lawsuits ect ect. i don't wish for your job!

Pages: << < (6/13) > >>

Varulven:
You do care "Phil", otherwise you would just ignore me.  Ignore me.  I dare you.

I'm more interesting than anything going on in your house right now.

That is the sad thing.

Phillip_J_Fry:
wow this is great its like being on aim!! how can i ignore you joe?? you and you music make me laugh. it's like making a funny face at a monkey in the zoo. i don't know why we do it but its fun! plus right now im waiting for files to transfer to a new hard drive which by the way is still more interesting then anything you might come up with! btw i do ignore you. until you start some stupid post or attack somebody on here for not being as good as you! now go burn your records/cd's you media mogal you! (long winded jv "im the best" rant to follow)

Varulven:
You can't resist.  You can insult my work all you like.  People like guessing which failed radio person is now jumping in.  Some of my friends are enjoying this while others say not to respond to you.  These posts are getting lots more hits than other boards so...here's your 15 minutes of getting the attention you crave.

You make a record, someone is going to make a comment good or bad.  Again, a quote from Carmelita,
the Var catalog fetches big bucks around the U.S. and around the world.  My day beats your year, to quote Lou Reed again.


and you lost the dare.

la la la your just mad because you don't know who i am! you don't know which of the many people you've treated like crap i am because you do it so often. and i REALLY don't care what Carmelita says about you,your music or your financial well being.

btw what "people" are guessing?? joe vig,joe viglioni,the mad faxer, ect ect. and all your personalities think im either nik or paul anyway so why should i care ?

he's right on that point... the Unnatural Axe EP, which had only 500 pressed, goes for $300 or more these days.

carry on....

Varulven:
Not only Unnatural Axe, Sonic Al.  Moe Tucker EP went for $50.00 last week to Switzerland, the 45 RPM for 35.
The Phobia single I produced is a real collector's item. and people are purchasing the Anthology albums - of which there are very few vinyl copies left - and big ticket prices.  Go into the used record stores and see how cheaply you can get Brand X, Y, Z, yet Varulven discs fetch hefty prices in collector's circles.


[EDIT]

Dude Oedipus wrote the reco leter to infinity for Opie and Anthony.

=====================================================
Hey, "Dude", Oedipus is the guy who sent out the air check with the racist comment by Opie & Anthony that he says they made on WAAF.   Who was that new poster who won't be hiring soon.  Won't be hiring Oedipus Hyson soon.

So let's look at the logic:  Oedipus screams RACISM over Opie & Anthony's comment, takes the time to dub up tapes to send to the press, yaps to the track gals about how outraged he is...then picks up O & A after they smeared Mayor Menino and harassed His Honor's family with the April Fool's death prank.

Oedipus wrote a "reco" letter to Infinity for that questionable "talent"?   Marketable? Yes.  Questionable? Yes!

Too bad Tom Reilly didn't write a "RICO" letter for Oedipus, Tom might be Governor had he made the move.

Also, Oedipus didn't discover Opie & Anthony - WAAF did.  Anyone can offer a contract after a commodity is seen to be marketable.  That doesn't take A & R skills.

Towerbuzz, Brooklyndon, BostonMusicMan, Philip J Fry, all the same guy.  They all coincidentally show up at the same time.
Marvelous!

==================================================


BROOKLYNDON SAYETH FROM THE DEPTHS OF BANISHMENT:

Dude Oedipus wrote the reco leter to infinity for Opie and Anthony.

------------
Varulven Replies:

Dude, Oedipus whispered in the ears of a young band signed to my label, Unnatural Axe, and went in the studio behind my back after I produced "Hitler's Brain".  I was polite enough to release the Oedipus "Production", if you want to call it that.  What record is more collectible:

JV's "They Saved Hitler's Brain"
or Oedi's "The Man I Don't Want To Be"

Oedi was always copping my riffs, using his radio position to take production work away from a real producer.

I let both records go out on the label because it was obvious which one was superior.  Time will tell, they say, and Hitler's Brain wins.   But the point is, that was Oedipus being unethical, and he never changed.  Exhibit A.


[EDIT=ad hominem comments]



Smoke:
Do you really think Oedipus could say no to Infinity's rollout of O&A?  He had his choice, put them on afternoons or get the axe and have the local afternoon show changed anyway.

Oh wait, I can't respond to this thread.

Art thou daft, man?  Thy discussion of ole records has little to do with today's music-downloading, iPod using generation.  Perhaps a historical radio discussion is more your thing.

Yeah but before the rollout, when Opie and Anthony were long haired punks just fired from some po-dump station audible only outside town, WBCN's PD, who may or may not have sent along airchecks with the duo saying the N-word and likely could have had them banned from Infinity forever, wrote the letter getting them to WNEW.

The first response about him having enough F you money to not have to work sounds right.  Am I mistaken or was not his Dover mansion featured in Architectural Digest a few years ago?. That sorta says im not worried about working anytime soon to me.

maybe not to do with radio but certainly to do with record collecting and there are plenty of under-30 people looking for the 'original' article... in the grand scheme of things, sure, the iPod generation doesn't know about records or even CD's now... tying it into downloading, there is a LOT of file-swapping of rare, out-of-print music via Soulseek et al... YES, I KNOW IT'S ILLEGAL... much like pirate radio and I was proud to be part of a quasi-pirate station called Allston-Brighton Free Radio. Hey, did you know we ran at 30 watts at times? Now you do...

I'm not trying to start a fight. I'm just having a bit of fun and you should take it in that spirit.

Varulven:
during the first 8 months of ABFR  starting March 11, 2000 when  we went on the air, we had the right
idea - broadcast the Portuguese programming and other shows on public access; we did a trimulcast on
the internet along with TV 3 Medford (radio, TV, the web), and were planning on setting up a "syndicate" of these low power Part 15 AM stations from city to city.  There was serious interest from access stations to have their own Part 15 - Medford and Wakefield would've been the first logical two.

The workload was crushing and it fell to the half a dozen or dozen people to do everything - organize the meetings, the P.R. outreach.  Then you'd get two girls still on college fighting over the "Music Director" position when they didn't have a clue what it meant.  Then two of the key guys, one of the founders and one of the transmitter dudes, had a bitter falling out.  It was too much for no money and the investment of time, travel during rush hour, mileage, and emotional energy.  It was fun but with more writing gigs on my desk that put food on the table it was adios.

I have great respect, Al, that you people kept it going - but glad I wasn't there when the power kept mysteriously going up.

Provizer wanted to put the antenna on a church steeple on a hill.  Had he achieved that it would have had good coverage of Allston, Brighton and some of Brookline.  Don't think that ever happened  - thus - the unauthorized power increase.

It was great of Bob Bittner to allow a "best of" every Saturday night - I did some of them when Steve Provizer was unavailable.  But it did kind of defeat the purpose of being off the mainstream.  The original idea of 30 of these LPAM or LPFMs all broadcasting simultaneously was very cool, very underground, but not cost effective and discussions to have 'em lined up in a row just fizzled.   The city of Woburn was NOT interested at all,
but Wakefield Cable thought it was very intriguing.

YES, I KNOW IT'S ILLEGAL... much like pirate radio and I was proud to be part of a quasi-pirate station called Allston-Brighton Free Radio. Hey, did you know we ran at 30 watts at times? Now you do...

--

Yes, I figured you guys must've been when I could get you fairly well in my apartment in Somerville. And I was thinking, they're gonna get 'em, sooner or later...



--

it wasn't the authorities.. it was the money (or lack thereof)... when Steve left, things went south. It wasn't really the guys who followed as station manager. They couldn't dedicate all their time to it, the equipment was in disrepair, etc. I'm surprised we made it until January of '05, although the transmitter blew in December... on my show! I KILLED A-B FREE...  :D

Allow me to indulge in a brief story here... I got a bit drunk at a party around the corner from the station and realized I couldn't drive home for awhile. I also broke my glasses... fortunately, I had prescription sunglasses in the car.

I knew that no one was doing a show at AB Free that night... so I had this idea to do a 70s rock show. I used the station's records and CD's, dubbed the show "Hot Rails To Hell" (after the Blue Oyster Cult song) and did about a 45 minute show. I made a CD-R of it and let's just say the only people who have ever heard it (and it will stay that way) are my wife Ellen and I. A bit tipsy, wearing sunglasses and sending out some cool sounds over the air. "Mississippi Queen" never sounded so good. That's one of my fondest memories of that station. That and Malcolm Alter's great promo for his jazz show. I used to always play that halfway through my show while I was switching over CD-Rs to record the show. I wish I'd made a copy of it...

in any case, at first, it was weird to do the show at home but I actually have much more reliable equipment than at the station.

I still loved being a part of it. I looked forward to the journey into Allston each week. And, as a positive aside, when my show was on Monday... evening at first and then afternoons, I got hooked on WMBR's "Gender Talk," which is a one-of-a-kind show.

I know Oedipus well. His "retirement" is anything but retiring. He is happy, healthy and busy devoting time to interests he wasn't able to fully enjoy while he was working. Unlike you, Joe, He doesn't define himself solely through his work. He actually HAS a life.

Varulven:
wow, you waited a whole week to bring this thread back! with your brand new post.

First post, Oedirumbldl?  Congratulations for joining in on the conversation.

[EDIT]

Oedipus shaves years off of his real age.  "Retirement" while pushing 58 years old!  I don't think so.  In this business people like to stay active - John Garabedian's house Party (John's got more money than Oedi could ever dream of having, 2 air strips & planes in his backyard, etc.), Dale Dorman on 103.3 - these guys could be with Charles in Hawaii.  Oedipus?  He has no gig after the ONLY company he ever worked for booted him (with his mentor, Mel, gone to Sirius).

You think Oedipus walked out with his head held high!  HA HA - he was pushed out the door in disgrace.

Some "retirement".  This post should've stayed dormant, like Oedipus Hyson.  You just love the sizzle, obviously want to argue, and this is the ONLY place where people talk about that has been.

Didn't see him at the convention last week.  Because he is irrelevant!

But - he sees his name here - gets a tiny bit of attention - and jumps on it.  So typical

Oh, and that line, "he doesn't define himself by his work."   After all those posts his shills wrote saying I don't work!  HA HA - I get more done in one day than Oedi got done in decades at WBCN.  Because I can take a break and look at these threads and have some fun - then get back to the nitty gritty.   We are defined by our work.  Mine is substantial

[EDIT=ad hominem attack]

Pages: << < (10/13) > >>

rumbldl:
Clearly, Joe, you are defined by your work. For those of us who are better-adjusted, work is a means to an end.  Obviously, the ideal situation is to both love your work and be well-compensated, but to be defined by it is just plain sad.

He had an enormously successful career in radio, and is lucky enough to be retired at an age when he's able to pursue other interests. He remains plenty active. There ARE other things in the world to capture ones' interest, you know.

BTW, my handle has nothing to do with WBCN - it's a nod to Patti Scialfa's first album.

Weee, have you noticed how Brooklyndon, Rumbledummy and TowerBuzz all come out of the closet every other week to yap about me.  Then there's the usual "Cable Show", "Blogger", blah blah blah.

Hey, I continue to fly around the U.S.A. - Atlanta, West Palm, Seattle, York Beach (OK, Ok, I drove to York Beach), while Oedipus is...falling through the ice on Secret Lake in Athol and has his shill attacking me relentlessly.  Their obsession is noted.

Also noted: THEY BOTH GOT FIRED AND COULDN'T BOUNCE BACK.

My God, even Parenteau got a job at the Comedy Connection - doesn't have to cling to an early Sunday morning shift on a New York radio station.  Get real.  It must be really painful to get booted from afternoon drive and see your predecessor getting a gig in the media immediately.  Have some advice for The Banned One - turn your ex-boss in for all that payola and make a name for yourself.  Your career is taking you nowhere.  In fact, all you can do is hide behind a handle and attack people who really do make a difference.

Well, Brooklyndon/banned one, the moderators can see the ISP and know you are full of it.  These are your new handles / rumbldl-Towerbuzz.  This thread has run its course.  But you want to cause trouble because you've got nothing better to do.

Oedipus is a millionaire for illicit reasons.  Proud of that?

Of course you are.  Shills have to pay respect to the Mafia Dons they work for.  Only your mobster got booted out on his backside!  How humiliating.     Hear that silence from the Oedipus Radio Network - that's Oedi realizing it is over.  And he is not happy.   No record labels to pay for his trips to Thailand, no free automobiles he can drive onto the ice of Secret Lake in Athol for the Track Gals to write about.  Nothing.  Just illicit money from taking advantage of the industry.  It's called PAYOLA.   It's illegal.  Anyone endorsing Oedipus and his alleged genius is either Oedipus or someone he helped out.  The man has more enemies than Howie Carr.

"Millionaire from illicit promo copies"?

The level of dementia behind that mordant madness can't even be gauged.



TowerBuzz:
True;  show me the man who became a millionaire selling promo cd's and Ill show you a man that also has a genie and a magic lamp hiden somewhere.  It's not possible to amass that sort of fortune from that sort of enterprise no matter how much you wish it to be true it just is not.

HHH:
So Oed sold promo CDs to become a millionaire?

At ten bucks apiece, he would have to have sold 100,000 CDs.

Even if it were possible, I don't think 100,000 different CD titles exist!

Maybe he did some other things (ahem), but CDs would have been a small part it seems.

TowerBuzz:
You wouldnt even get ten bucks for promo cd's they are usually sold for that  much in used record shops so they would have to buy them for a lot less to make any kind of profit off of them. It's just not true









Joe Viglione's year 2000 lawsuit against some Tufts Radio board members

Woburn resident expands charges filed against Tufts students in WMFO lawsuit

Daily Editorial Board, Daily Editorial Board
Published: Thursday, August 31, 2000
Updated: Sunday, August 17, 2008 16:08
Woburn resident Joe Viglione has filed disciplinary charges with the Dean of Students office against two Tufts students for "defamation of character" and "infliction of emotional distress," the latest development in an ongoing legal battle following an incident at the WMFO radio station this summer. The two seniors, Music Director Levi Novey and Program Director David Dougan, are both members of the station's executive board.
Viglione, who is also suing Dougan for $2,000 in damages in Woburn small claims court, was a volunteer DJ on the station until he was fired on July 1 by Dougan , Novey, and WMFO General Manager Michael Dupuy.
"I'm charging them with every single aspect of what they've done wrong, from being unprofessional to throwing me off the property," Viglione said yesterday. In an Oct. 16 letter to Dean of Students Bruce Reitman and Dean of Judicial Affairs Veronica Carter, Viglione accused the two students of numerous offenses, including holding double standards and failing to follow due process.
"It was malicious, it was done with premeditation, and it is a total abuse of power," said Viglione of a July 2 e-mail from Dougan that notified him of his dismissal.
According to Reitman, both students have been informed of the charges being pressed against them, and the University will attempt to resolve the conflict within its own judicial system. "We will provide all of the due process we can," he said. "It's not clear to me whether there is wrong doing here or not. That is not my role. My role is to facilitate the process that will make the determination as to whether there is validity to [Viglione's] argument."
Dupuy called the charges "ridiculous" and stood by the board's original decision to dismiss Viglione for "impeding the operations of the station" after the incident, which occurred in the WMFO studio last June.
"No one is at fault here," he said. "We went as closely as we possibly could as to the policies laid out in our constitution. In that sense, I don't think we did anything wrong."
While Reitman declined to comment on the specifics of the legal proceedings, he acknowledged that his office "is involved in the adjudication of the case," and added that Tufts provides legal counsel for all students who are charged with non-criminal offenses all relate to their capacities as leaders in campus groups.
Viglione has accused the University of "dragging its feet" on the issue, misleading him on his options, and withholding his police report for an unreasonable period of time. In a letter last week to Nathan Gantcher, chairman of the University Board of Trustees, he called for the WMFO executive board to be abolished and for Tufts to turn over items which he plans to use as evidence in court.
It is unclear exactly what procedure Tufts' disciplinary system will follow in the adjudication of the case, though it will most likely be heard by some sort of student-administrative judiciary committee.
According to a report filed by the Tufts University Police Department (TUPD), the dispute erupted on June 22 while Viglione was preparing music for his show, Joe Vig's Pop Explosion. Both Viglione and June Weintraub, another WMFO community DJ, wished to use the same recording studio, which Viglione claims to have reserved according to procedure. Alleging that the quarrel made her feel uncomfortable, Weintraub phoned the TUPD and accused Viglione of "verbally assaulting" her.
"She said I needed to leave immediately because she needed to use not only my studio, but another studio as well," Viglione said. "Finally, when she realized that I wasn't going to relinquish the room, and that she had not signed into the room, she phoned the Tufts police."
According to the police report, Weintraub "did not respond to the officer's suggestion [that she use a different studio], and then left the area without further incident." The TUPD left Viglione in possession of the room. Weintraub was contacted yesterday, but declined to comment.
As a result of the conflict, Dupuy, Novey, and Dougan decided to suspend both DJs from their shows for the rest the summer. While Viglione is still denied access to the station, Dupuy acknowledged that Weintraub is still a member of WMFO, although she does not currently host a show.
The case has attracted the attention of national media outlets, and Viglione received a letter from the television program Judge Judy requesting that he and Dougan attempt to mediate the problem on television. CourtTV has also expressed interest in the case.
The radio station, which is owned by Tufts, integrates both Tufts students and community members into their programming. Dupuy, who serves as the station's general manager, values this combination of talents.
"They are a huge asset in terms of programming," he said of the community DJs, who are usually older than the students and have worked at WMFO for a much longer period of time. These DJs also help to provide continuity and to smooth the rough transitions caused by the rapid turnover of student employees.

Tufts University must be so proud of the students publishing libel with impunity. What a sad statement on a college that wants to be in the same league as Harvard and M.I.T.

Did Zappelli bring his friend from WRKO that was involved with the 14 year old to the TV station? Isn't Gary Zappelli the guy who put "Free Sex" on a sign by a sitting City Councilor? Isn't Zappelli in hiding right now? Gary Zappelli is currently posting garbage about a LOT of people in Medford. Didn't he call a Mayoral appointee "fat ass" on TV, spill alcohol into the console and let Medford residents pay for it, and didn't Zappelli and his boss seriously damage a beautiful board donated by a major TV station, destroying equipment the city co-owns? Zappelli has been harassing people for years and this garbage is more of the same. City Hall reprimanded Zappelli at TV 3 for harassing a woman. City Hall hasn't called anyone else out at TV 3 ...yet - only the fellow calling himself "Chris" on this board. TV 3 Medford is being audited and evaluated by the Issuing Authority. Millions of dollars of PUBLIC MONIES have not been accounted for...yet. Where are they "Chris", "Dave" or whatever you are calling yourself this week.

I thought the Tufts Daily had more class than allow libel to be published on its site. Clearly someone is on a vendetta and the Tufts Daily - by allowing this material to post- is aiding and abetting people who make crazy allegations about the mob and things of a sexual nature etc. etc. etc. Pure rubbish this paper appears to be promoting

This may be the most unscrupulous person I have ever met. It all started in the mid 80's. I met Joe Vig, as he was to be called, and despite warnings I got involved with his little music scheme. We later named it "Flavor of the Week", as he would find a band fall in love with them, promise them riches and fame, and then proposition them and move on. Let me tell you, when things crashed and burned, they crashed at burned. I can think of bands that all were seduced by his promises, and then were threatened that they would never play in Boston again if they crossed the mighty "Count". What Joe Vig would say is that he had a record company in France, Red Rose, and he could get you a deal, or on one of his The Count Boston compilation records. It always ended the same way, after you paid for the studio, for him to produce you, then came the charge to be on his record. When bands caught on that is when you felt his rathe. Back in 1988, he drove my band *********** to disband, because of this. We when we balked at the cost of being on his record, he went ballistic on us. He threatened us, he even told us he had mafia connections and to watch out.
He was also found of throwing around his sexuality. He claimed to be bisexual and always would tell these young men, mostly in high school or just out of high school, that they could get somewhere if they "blew him, or one of his associates". He would approach the weakest member of the band with that proposition. Most of them were minors for Christ sake.
This guy also befriended Jimmy Miller who produced the Rolling Stones best work. He would dangle the Miller connection too. That also ended in the typical Joe Vig way. It blew up ugly with Joe threatening Jimmy also. Miller was talented, but also an alcholic and a heroin addict. He used this to his advantage.
Joe's greatest scheme was when he fleeced the recording studios of Boston. For example Downtown Recordings. The bands would pay "the count" to produce, plus studio fees. Guess what, the studio never got paid and the bands never received their masters. He was actually in hiding from one of the studios he owed. Word was on the street that if he showed his head he would get his ass kicked. He was and is a criminal! There is a place in hell reserved for predators like him. Last I saw him was in 1992. It was outside of WFNX night at this bar in the Peabody Marriott. He had a band outside, doing his usual routine. I put my arm on his shoulder and told the band to run, this man is the DEVIL. I said you can't do anything to me, and you are lucky I don't kick your ass right now.

*REBUTTAL Owner of company: AN ENTIRE ACCESS TV EPISODE DETAILING JOE VIGLIONE ABUSES!!!

______________________________________________________________ Ken Kanavos exaggerates on what he can accomplish for the artists in Boston, Massachusetts. He takes in a rapper and then tells everyone that the father of the rapper stopped payment on a check? Smart man. Those of us who gave Ken Kanavos checks that he cashed ended up with Kanavos not doing the work, smashing things, screaming and yelling, and then - after your project is in a shambles and he has all your money, you'll find him going behind your back to defame you to people. He is an individual in serious need of anger management therapy and that's been known for decades in Boston. He used to be on Newbury Street then moved to Boylston Street but complained about the landlord, a well respected Boston business man so a family member allegedly took him in and gave him a place to park his computer. He sucked in a legendary Boston band, recorded them, then said they owed him money when he was doing the job for promotion...he then put their image up on his website promoting that they were in his studio. Watch out for the names he drops...they usually are from reputable producers he is smearing and that he is jealous of. Bad attitude, expensive and a huge ego so big you should be able to spot it the minute you walk in the door. If you want to get yelled at, pay big bucks and not get product... and then have the man snicker and show up at places where he doesn't belong just to harass you, Newbury Media's Ken Kanavos is the guy for you.

POSTED: Tuesday, November 02, 2010
Given that Newbury and I have been in business since 1981 with an unblemished record I think speaks for itself. In over 29 years and over 2500, Newbury's amassed a long roster of clients that it has been my pleasure to serve. These include over 60 live-on -the-air WBCN broadcasts including Dave Matthews (twice), Queens Of The Stone Age, Extreme, Aimee Mann Travis and Hothouse Flowers, to name but a few. And I am more than happy to offer anyone a list of referrals who will vouch for the studio's and my integrity. The author of this post, Joe Viglione, was actually responding to another one of his client's post that he assumed was me! This kind of shoot-from-the hip incompetence is Viglione's hallmark and the direct reason why I dismissed him from any affiliation with me or Newbury. Now he's trying to get back for it. It's insulting to even stoop to defend any of the delusional accusations he attributes to me. He has a long, long, long history of terrorizing and ripping off any business associates and "clients" whom he targets - I merely being his latest. His irrational exploits in the Metro-Boston Cable-Access Community are legendary and an source of entertainment. He thinks nothing of showing up at Medford Public Meetings dressed in a pair of dirty shorts and tee-shirt and making a spectacle of himself, knowing he'll be videotaped and broadcast all over the web. Would YOU do business with this guy? Check him out yourself. A matter of public service:

Response to Mr. Kanavos
AUTHOR: publicity machine - Woburn (United States of America)

SUBMITTED: Thursday, November 04, 2010
POSTED: Thursday, November 04, 2010
Mr. Kanavos was not very happy with WBCN and their relationship disintegrated. Kanavos says he felt he was owed more than the station was willing to give him. It's the same old story. You go into a working situation with Kanavos and once he snags you he starts the complaints. "This is too much work for the money." He then holds your work hostage, yells and screams at you, gets violent, and when you stop your business relationship with him he acts like the woman that was dumped saying "I'm leaving you."

Ken Kanavos has very little business coming in. The fact is that Joe Viglione brought in 100% of the clients when they worked together...and Kanavos interferes in those relationships whenever possible offering commission checks that are not in line with what the clients tell you they've spent.

Did Kanavos bring in a rock & roll hall of famer or a major producer or a musician who worked with Jimi Hendrix? Or did someone else bring those individuals into his studio?

Newbury Media's owner certainly brags about someone else's relationships walking into his studio, then throws his temper tantrums AFTER he has your money.

His "unblemished" record isn't bringing in much business, is it? And when he's jealous of your contracts with legitimate artists who have Grammy awards or gold albums you can find your name on Ripoff.com thanks to Ken and a client he worked with behind your back. That's unfair. He also claims his current landlord will sue you in very vulgar terms via e mail.

So when you see famous people on the Newbury Media facebook, find out if Kanavos finished the project or just took the money and ran. It is pathetic that Kanavos and his client use Ripoff.com to smear someone who treated them with kindness and generosity, but that's the way Kanavos likes to work.

It is very sad that instead of working for the money he took Kanavos turned to smashing a clock, kicking walls and yelling that he's a great producer and you'd better push the buttons yourself. Keep in mind...he's oh so nice about getting the money out of you...after he's got your cash he'll take your clients, he won't give you the product you are looking for, and he will smear you on Ripoff.com - or have someone else do it for him.

Tragic is the only word for it.

BEWARE!!!

YET ANOTHER INDEPENDENT PARTY'S RECENT TAKE ON THIS TROUBLEMAKER DATED 9/28/11:

http://joeviglionerunningscared.blogspot.com/

Medford City Council shuts down libelous Joe ViglioneJoe Vig has finally been silenced from spreading his libelous slurs against TV3 Medford as the Medford City Council shut the piece of s**t, formally known as Joe Viglione, off from repeating his lies ad-nauseum.

WOO - HOO - finally the Council found the balls to do what they should have done years ago!POSTED BY ANONYMOUS AT 9:18 AM 0 COMMENTS FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 2008Joe Viglione s**ts his pants!FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Joseph Viglione aka, The "JOKE", JoeVig, stinky, nutbag, SCUMBAG is RUNNING VERY SCARED!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: City Hall throws the JOKE to the wolves - further down on this blog.

After over 7 years, it seems like TV3 and some of its Board has finally had enough of Joe Vig and his make believe lawsuits and has filed its 4th law suit against him.

As a result, we're told that JOE sent TV3 Attorney David Skerry a letter basically saying "Dave, we both have better things to do and we should drop all suits and move on with out lives" yeah right! He will drop all suits if Dawn Natalia and Frank Pilleri give a public apology over the station. We hear he has a better chance of seeing GOD than that happening.

That's how this extremely disturbed nutbag does things. He'll tell people that he communicated with TV3 through their Attorney to drop all suits, but TV3 is suit happy and just want to beat up on a poor lonely person who has been trying to get a membership at TV3. He would of course neglect to tell people that he is demanding a public apology and demanding to be a member of TV3 again as if nothing ever happened. He expects TV3 to make believe that his reign of abuse for over 7 years never happened ... This Social Security collecting (don't believe what he calls himself - he is a total whacko with no moral compass with all the time in the world to represent himself in his little waste of time lawsuits ... pretty funny.

This pain in the a** should be scared! He is normally the one doing the suing, but NOT THIS TIME! He has been hit with at least 3 suits over the past couple months. I think one of the suits is asking him about him collecting SSI due to possibly being mentally incapable of knowing which end is up. This time I'm told that TV3 is going for a cash settlement which will attach his future earnings as this big braggart claims to have a book in the works and a thriving internet collectibles business. He is wonderful, just ask him! I'm also told that there are discussions to bring a class action lawsuit against this dope!

Hey Joe, how does it feel?

The main difference between the way Joe sues and the way these TV3 lawsuits will be handled, I hear, is quite simple. TV3's suits are BASED ON TRUTH! As you know Joe's suits are outlandish and just plain stupid, without merit that a challenged person with an 80 IQ would know it's just plain old stupid.

Just because its your right as an American to close your eyes and walk across the street, doesn't mean that you should ... can't you just picture Joe doing that ... I know I can, then suing the person that beeps at him because he shit his pants! Now apply that to our court system, just because you can sue someone without paying for an Attorney, which can get costly, doesn't mean that you do, over and over again.

FOR IMMEDIATED RELEASE: Joe Viglione is a major pest or a dog with a big bark, but no bite, and Little Joe (not to be confused with the Little Joe on Bonanza, as he had intelligence and morals) is running scared of these lawsuits .... Run littl Joe, Run!

Don't tell anyone, but if this idiot leaves town, maybe TV3 would drop their suits. I'm sure they would still play his lame show over their airwaves, as he is the most prolific .... what, biggest idiot on the planet, I suppose.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

We hear that TV3 has authorized 1 more lawsuit against Joe Vig. With a little luck Joe Viglione will be served with a total of 3 lawsuits by the end of June ... woohoo!

Good luck Joe! I can't wait to see how you spin this you scumbag!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Joe Viglion asks the City Council to pay for his defense of the lawsuits filed by TV3 against this no nothing do nothing piece of s**t!

Also FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - the City Council laughs at Joe as they are reading his police report of assault charge(s) with a dangerous weapon and etc. This of course off air as they have thanked the gentleman for leaving a copy of this SCUMBAG's rapsheet with the Council. Very embarrassing stuff. According to a Police Officer who read this shameful report, there are signs of a disturbed person and a dangerous person.

This report was obtained, I hear through the Freedom of Information Act from the Woburn Police Department. Joe Vig is now KNOWN by the Medford City Council as a major SCUMBAG (and a laughing stock of the city) as the Council entered this report, into the record. WOO HOO! Joe is unraveling ... WOO HOO ... Joe is being known more now that ever as the pathetic little scumbag that he is, instead of the upstanding citizen he portrays himself as. He's a real piece of work. Word has it that he made lewd remarks and was touching himself while screaming in front of City Hall. Medford Police has that information and provided it to me ....

WOO HOO - Joe Viglione HAS BEEN GOUND OUT ... He is a FRAUD ... you better hide Joey - hide! More on the rock you hide under in a future report on this blog.

WOO HOO .... what's that smell? Oh, its just Joey!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: City Hall has formally sent a series of letter to this SCUMBAG telling him that he NEVER ... did you get that NEVER worked for City Hall and that City Hall would NOT pay for any legal fee's incurred by Little Joey Scumbag. He is about to lose his mind as we hear he has threatened to sue Mark Rumley and Mayor Michael McGlynn for throwing him to the wolves (according to his own threatening letter(s) to City Hall.

#1 Individual Responds

Former Business Partner filing defamatory lies

AUTHOR: publicity machine - Woburn (United States of America)

On October 28, 2010 I had to fire a former business partner because he was taking advantage of clients.  I have worked with many classic rock artists over the past three decades for long periods of time.  The individual in question, an engineer in Wilmington, Massachusetts, takes money from clients and refuses to do the work unless you allow him to be "co-producer."  He has a terrible work ethic and was an anchor for me and the artists I care about.
I stand by my work in the music industry.  It is sad that jealous people with nothing better to do will try to harm a man's reputation because they want his projects.

#2 Consumer Comment

Joe Viglione

AUTHOR: Jeff - Winchester (U.S.A.)

Joe Viglione is an honest, hardworking individual who does a great job at what he knows best, the music industry. He has been a rock and music journalist for quite awhile now, and its a shame that certain people in Medford are slandering him for no reason other than he's trying to keep freedom of speech in public access television alive in the city of Medford which has been corrupted by city politicians and a tv studio that might as well be run by the local mafia. Its a shame when city residents can't speak freely about what they want to see on the air in the city of Medford and when they try to speak up the TV 3 management tries to scare them into submission. The TV 3 people in Medford have tried to tear Joe V down constantly, even threatened his life. They write derogatory comments about him and that is not who Joe V is. He's a kind, courteous individual who does nothing but help bands and people he interacts with get ahead in the business. He has many personal friends in the music industry, some well known, others not as well known, but he always is professional with whomever he meets. I hope this will lay to rest claims that Joe V is a scammer. He is nothing of the sort. He is a good friend and these posts are a great injustice to the chracter and personality of the Count aka Joe Viglione!

Pg. 1-1, Sec. 1 – Joseph Viglione has claimed on a website that in my presence, the public will “suffer death threats” and that I am “a station manager following [Viglione] around…like a sad puppy dog…desperate to be near [Viglione].” This statement is without merit and has caused me to suffer serious alarm and emotional distress.

Pg. 1-3, Sec. 6 – Joseph Viglione has claimed on a website that “Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. has a station manager suing!” It is true that I have filed a claim against Viglione and only Viglione. The nature of this claim is for the purpose of obtaining a TRO and HRO for protecting myself against threats, harassment, and slander from Viglione.

Pg. 1-4, Sec. 10 – Joseph Viglione has claimed on a website that it “is all about Dan Sarno and his exploits in pornography called Dirty Talk Live.” This statement is without merit and has caused me to suffer serious alarm and emotional distress. At no time have I been involved in the creation or distribution of pornography, within or outside of my place of work. Viglione has devised this statement willfully and maliciously to besmirch my reputation in the City of Medford, my workplace, and has published this statement in order to intimidate and defame my name publicly.
Pg. 1-5, Sec. 11 – Joseph Viglione has claimed on a website that “FACT: Matthew Page-Lieberman, Gary Zappelli and Dan Sarno are all listed in a police report after victimizing a volunteer producer (Viglione).” This is a false report filed by Viglione himself. At no time was I involved in the victimization of Viglione. This statement is without merit and has caused me to suffer serious alarm and emotional distress. Viglione has devised this statement willfully and maliciously to besmirch my reputation in the City of Medford, my workplace, and has published this statement in order to intimidate and defame my name publicly.
Pg. 1-5, Sec. 12 – Jospeh Viglione has claimed on a website that an “affidavit exists stating that Sarno and Page-Lieberman conspired months in advance to harass [Viglione].” This statement is without merit. The document that Viglione is speaking of is not an admissible form of evidence as the statements by John Byers have not been affirmed or sworn. In addition, the “affidavit” Viglione speaks of is entirely hearsay.

Pg. 1-9, Sec. 14 – Joseph Viglione has claimed on a website that I am responsible for a “premeditated attack on [Viglion]” and that I am “jealous of [Viglione].” This statement is without merit. Viglione also claims that I have “figuratively pulled down [my] pants on TV and exposed [myself] on a squirrel.” This statement is without merit and has caused me to suffer serious alarm and emotional distress. The claim is of a sexually harassing nature regardless to whether this statement is a matter of fact, opinion, or belief.
Pg. 1-11, Sec. 15 – withdrawn from evidence by plaintiff.
Pg. 1-15, Sec. 16 – Joseph Viglione has claimed on a website that “these blogs protect the citizens from Dan Sarno’s twisted legal actions which are designed to censor and harass residents of this city. Sarno doesn’t facilitate programming.” This statement is without merit and has caused me to suffer serious alarm and emotional distress. Viglione has devised this statement willfully and maliciously to besmirch my reputation in the City of Medford, my workplace, and has published this statement in order to intimidate and defame my name publicly. I have only filed a lawsuit against Viglione for the purpose of protecting myself from the harassment and potentially threatening actions of Viglione. In no case ever presented in court was the matter of censorship discussed or brought as a claim.
Pg. 1-15, Sec. 17 – Joseph Viglione has claimed on a website that “Dan Sarno puts his face on tv and broadcasts fake applause…and if that isn’t an admission of how fraudulent his work as ‘operations manager,’ perhaps his lies to Judge Murtagh in Superior Court are.” This statement is without merit and has caused me to suffer serious alarm and emotional distress. Viglione has devised this statement willfully and maliciously to besmirch my reputation in the City of Medford, my workplace, and has published this statement in order to intimidate and defame my name publicly. His libelous statement accuses me of fraud without merit. He also accuses me of lying under oath in Superior Court. This statement is also without merit.
Pg. 1-16, Sec. 18 – Joseph Viglione had claimed on a website that “Our First Amendment rights have been shredded in Medford by an Operations Manager, Daniel A. Sarno Jr., who filed a frivolous complaint, was chastised by the Honorable Judge Murtagh, and continues his wrongful conduct…” This statement is without merit and has caused me to suffer serious alarm and emotional distress. Viglione has devised this statement willfully and maliciously to besmirch my reputation in the City of Medford, my workplace, and has published this statement in order to intimidate and defame my name publicly. There is no evidence to support that I had filed a “frivolous” complaint. There is no record of being chastised by Judge Murtagh. There is no evidence of wrongful conduct.
Pg. 1-17, Sec. 19 – Joseph Viglione has claimed on a website that “Medford, sign up at TV3 where you will have to kneel and genuflect before his highness, Frank Pilleri, the jackass of Medford, and his surrogate son, Danny Sarno.” This statement is defamatory in nature and is devised to keep clients from doing business with me. Viglione has devised this statement willfully and maliciously to besmirch my reputation in the City of Medford, my workplace, and has published this statement in order to intimidate and defame my name publicly.
Pg. 1-18, Sec. 20 – Joseph Viglione has claimed on a website that “Dan Sarno…wants to victimize you if you dare criticize his pathetic work ethic and vulgar tongue.” This statement is without merit and has caused me to suffer serious alarm and emotional distress. Viglione has devised this statement willfully and maliciously to besmirch my reputation in the City of Medford, my workplace, and has published this statement in order to intimidate and defame my name publicly.
Pg. 1-20, Sec. 21 – Joseph Viglione has claimed on a website that “Dan Sarno should be fired, not because anyone is ‘envious,’ as he falsely claims, but because of his poor judgment in programming pornography he created at an indecent hour, the harm he has done this community by his egotistical need to air that porno and his failure to facilitate programming.” This statement is without merit and has caused me to suffer serious alarm and emotional distress. Viglione has devised this statement willfully and maliciously to besmirch my reputation in the City of Medford, my workplace, and has published this statement in order to intimidate and defame my name publicly. I have not created or distributed any form of pornography and it is not my decision when programming airs on TV3. There is no bylaw or corporate Policy & Procedure dictating the hours in which specific programming or genres of programming can or cannot air.
Pg. 1-21, Sec. 22 – Joseph Viglione has claimed on a website that I am “a selfish college student masquerading as a station manager.” This statement is without merit and has caused me to suffer serious alarm and emotional distress. Viglione has devised this statement willfully and maliciously to besmirch my reputation in the City of Medford, my workplace, and has published this statement in order to intimidate and defame my name publicly.
Pg. 1-24, Sec. 23 – Joseph Viglione has claimed on a website that “Dan Sarno is the greatest threat to Free Speech in Medford.” This statement is without merit and has caused me to suffer serious alarm and emotional distress. Viglione has devised this statement willfully and maliciously to besmirch my reputation in the City of Medford, my workplace, and has published this statement in order to intimidate and defame my name publicly.
Pg. 1-27, Sec. 24 – Joseph Viglione has claimed on a website that “[I] won’t leave [Viglione] alone.” Viglione is making this statement in attempt to claim that I am stalking Viglione. I attend City Council Meetings every Tuesday to discuss official matters with the City Council regarding public television. Truth of the matter is that I do not want anything to do with Viglione in any shape or form. I request that he stops his obsession with me. His statement has caused me to suffer serious alarm and emotional distress.
Pg. 1-29, Sec. 25 – Joseph Viglione has claimed on a website that “ Matthew Page-Lieberman and Gary Zappelli harassed a veteran public access producer in concert with Dan Sarno. Dan was as active a participant as the other two…and the police did not let him go without writing his name down.” This statement is without merit and has caused me to suffer serious alarm and emotional distress. There is no evidence to support that the so called “harassment” on Viglione was constructed, premeditated, or concerted by me. The Medford Police did not question or ask for Sarno’s name at any time regarding Viglione.
Pg. 1-30, Sec. 26 – Joseph Viglione has claimed on a website that “Dan Sarno put an erect penis on a squirrel and broadcast it on TV3 instead of Medford and Winthrop Hockey.” This statement is without merit and has caused me to suffer serious alarm and emotional distress. There is no evidence that suggests that I put a penis on a squirrel and broadcast this in lieu of a hockey game. Pg. 1-30, Sec. 27 – Joseph Viglione has claimed on a website that “Dan Sarno told the City Council he was upset about the word ‘penis envy’ on this blog. Obviously, that’s proof positive that he has it, or it wouldn’t have upset him?” This statement has caused me to suffer serious alarm and emotional distress. His statement is of extreme sexually harassing nature and is unrelated to any political feud against him and TV3. He claims he is protected under the First Amendment to criticize a public station, however, under the First Amendment he is not protected to lie or make sexually derogatory claims against a person directly or indirectly.
Pg. 1-31, Sec. 28 – Joseph Viglione has claimed on a website that I am “a pathological liar and unqualified to run access TV in our city. That’s my professional opinion protected under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.” Viglione claims to be offering his “professional” opinion in that I am a “pathological liar” and “unqualified” to run access TV. Viglione is not a qualified “professional” to make this claim, therefore this claim has no merit and is considered libel. Viglione applied for Operations Manager job at TV3 and was rejected because he was deemed “unqualified.” He then filed with authorities for employment discrimination against TV3. Viglione himself was denied the job because he was not qualified for the position. The First Amendment does not protect someone from making false claims especially when claiming the statement is being offered by someone assuming the role of a “professional” who is deemed qualified to make such opinions a matter of truth. Viglione has devised this statement willfully and maliciously to besmirch my reputation in the City of Medford, my workplace, and has published this statement in order to intimidate and defame my name publicly.
Pg. 1-32, Sec. 29 – Joseph Viglione had claimed on a website that “Dan Sarno said horrible things about me at the City Council on January 18th and January 25th.” To the best of my knowledge of fact and belief, the statements I made at these meetings were truthful.
Pg. 1-32, Sec. 30 – Pg. 1-11, Sec. 15 – withdrawn from evidence by plaintiff.
Pg. 1-33, Sec. 31 – Joseph Viglione has claimed on a website that “Dan Sarno and his cronies have written the most hideous blogs chock full of lies designed to inflict emotional distress. Not the funny humor that these blogs display to prove they are a bunch of jackasses.” This statement is without merit and has caused me to suffer serious alarm and emotional distress. There is no evidence to support that I have ever written a blog of any nature mentioning Viglione. Viglione believes that the statements made in his blogs are full of “funny humor” I being the victim of this blog do not find his statements funny. His blog contains libelous statements written with malicious intent. His belief that what he states is “funny,” while at the same time besmirches my reputation and emotional wellbeing, supports Viglione as a Cyber Bully.
Pg. 1-35, Sec. 32 – Joseph Viglione has claimed on a website that “while trying to go to [Viglione’s] car, Daniel Sarno was waiting for me…and that is what I frightening.” This statement is without merit and has caused me to suffer serious alarm and emotional distress. Viglione has devised this statement willfully and maliciously to besmirch my reputation in the City of Medford, my workplace, and has published this statement in order to intimidate and defame my name publicly. There is no evidence to support that I had “waited” for Viglione at his car.
Pg. 1-61, Sec. 33 – Joseph Viglione has claimed on a website that “[Sarno] took a gay male (Viglione) into court for a restraining order there is only one conclusion: THAT DAN SARNO IS JEALOUS! And possibly obsessed with a free spirit…” This statement is without merit and has caused me to suffer serious alarm and emotional distress. Viglione claims that I am obsessed with him. I filed a restraining order against Viglione to keep Viglione from contacting me. Viglione says I am jealous of him because I took him to court because I was afraid for my wellbeing. It is my opinion that Viglione is seriously confused about the timeline of events in our relationship. Viglione has devised this statement willfully and maliciously to besmirch my reputation in the City of Medford, my workplace, and has published this statement in order to intimidate and defame my name publicly. He is also trying to infer that I am intolerant to homosexuals which is not true.
Pg. 1-63, Sec. 34 – evidence withdrawn by the Plaintiff.
Pg. 1-64, Sec. 35 – evidence withdrawn by the Plaintiff.
Pg. 1-69, Sec. 36 – Joseph Viglione makes certain claims speaking on behalf of what Dan Sarno “thinks.” No statement in what Viglione claims that I “think” is true.
Pg. 1-70, Sec. 37 – Joseph Viglione has claimed on a website that “You, Daniel A. Sarno Jr., are an embarrassment to Medford and to Emerson College. This statement has caused me to suffer serious alarm and emotional distress. Viglione has devised this statement willfully and maliciously to besmirch my reputation in the City of Medford, my workplace, and has published this statement in order to intimidate and defame my name publicly.
Pg. 1-73, Sec. 38 – Joseph Viglione has claimed on a website that “not only is [Sarno] envious of [Viglione’s] work ethic. It’s obvious penis envy as well. Of course, when Zapp Borat, the toothless fairy lives in your apartment complex… and allegedly hits on you regularly…it’s no wonder you have fallen in love with the same gay guy Frankie and David are fixated on.” This statement is without merit and has caused me to suffer serious alarm and emotional distress. Viglione has devised this statement willfully and maliciously to besmirch my reputation in the City of Medford, my workplace, and has published this statement in order to intimidate and defame my name publicly. This statement is purely sexually harassing in nature.
Pg. 1-74, Sec. 39 – Joseph Viglione has claimed on a website that “Sarno will get what he deserves some day hard in the *ss that creepy little ugly bug. Sarno thinks special needs people want to get arrested when Gary Zappelli sexually harasses them at Stop & Shop with his ‘G-Spot’ fantasies…Dan Sarno thinks people want to put up with the shit Doria Alberg spews from her vulgar mouth.” This statement is without merit and has caused me to suffer serious alarm and emotional distress. His statements are of extreme sexually harassing nature. Viglione has devised this statement willfully and maliciously to besmirch my reputation in the City of Medford, my workplace, and has published this statement in order to intimidate and defame my name publicly.
Pg. 2-1, Sec. 40 – Joseph Viglione has claimed in a letter to my college, Emerson College, accessible via his website that “one of [Emerson’s] students is censoring every Medford resident from watching a producer’s hockey tape.” This statement is without merit and has caused me to suffer serious alarm and emotional distress. Viglione has devised this statement willfully and maliciously to besmirch my reputation in the City of Medford, my workplace, and has published this statement in order to intimidate and defame my name publicly.
Pg. 2-2, Sec. 41 – Joseph Viglione has claimed in a letter to my college, Emerson College, accessible via his website that “Sarno wanted to chill [Viglione’s] right to Free Speech by maliciously abusing Superior Court…” The purpose of my claim against Viglione in Superior Court was to obtain a TRO for harassment, not to censor his programming. There is no evidence to support that I abused the court system or intended to “chill” Viglione’s “free speech.” This statement is without merit and has caused me to suffer serious alarm and emotional distress. Viglione has devised this statement willfully and maliciously to besmirch my reputation in the City of Medford, my workplace, and has published this statement in order to intimidate and defame my name publicly.

#4 Owner of Company This material is incorrect and is in violation of a judgment in Superior Court AUTHOR: publicity machine - Woburn (United States of America)

SUBMITTED: Friday, August 03, 2012
POSTED: Friday, August 03, 2012
All the materials on this alleged "Report" as well as the photograph taken without authorization have been removed from other sites on the internet. The individual who was posting them DEFAULTED in SUPERIOR COURT. I also won a case in November/December 2011 in Superior Court against a frivolous action funded by the same individuals. I believe I now have the right to sue for what is called "malicious abuse of process".

There are Agreements those individuals made with the authorities to remove all offensive material on the internet. This site has been reported to the authorities as of August 3, 2012 for violating those Agreements.

I applied for a job at a company that is responsible for posting a lot of this information. No one should put an application in and fear being harassed.

__________________________________________________________
As for the individual who was a business associate of mine, I will be filing action in a court of law very soon to protect my interests. He worked in concert with the individuals who denied me employment. It was bullying, plain and simple, as is what they wrote on this site. Shame on them.

That is all that I will say about these reports for now.

What is interesting is that my business has flourished since the removal of the unqualified and disruptive business partner. That speaks volumes. While I was doing the heavy lifting that individual was selling equipment. Had he been honest and not had a million excuses for why he couldn't do the work he promised to perform things might have been different. Or maybe I should consider myself lucky that I got away from him in time

___________________________________________________________
A document was signed on July 23 2012 in Superior Court by another individual who caused a lot of these problems. Another court case was heard on November 28, 29 and 30th in 2011 and in December the judge awarded the victory to me. Three other documents were signed where these materials on the internet are supposed to be removed by the individuals who authored them.

It is truly sad when you believe and trust someone and - after they take your money - they smash a clock, get violent and the police have to be notified. That individual will be in court to talk to a judge about his conduct.

No names are being named here. I will let the courts handle it.
