Most of ya’ll who have read my columns and tuned into my daily radio show and know that I have over the years been somewhat all too critical of the LDS church/AkA the Mormons.
One of the things , that a fellow traveler that sat next to me last night flying home from Daytona, said are you from Idaho? I replied , “yes” , the traveler went on to say, that he had researched the area, and found that Idaho was more uptight and LDS restrictive that where the church is headquartered. Salt Lake City, namely Utah. So I researched myself a bit and found that might be correct. After all , both the idea behind both Highway Hooker Radio our radio show for those who toew, that is a extension of our company in Utah, called Highway Hooker Toewing, is accepted there, even with the Utah Department of Commerce. Heck the DOC didn’t even flinch, when the name was registered in 1998 there. Yet, here in Idaho, not only could we not register that name, but ISP Idaho’s version on the highway patrol, would not put Highway Hooker Toewing on rotation. Only Dixie in Buhl, and Wyld Eagle Toewing in Rupert rolls the roads on toews. Yet the Utah Highway Patrol, put Highway Hooker Toewing on their rotation list.
Another case, Utah area’ broadcast partners never said one thing about such a radical name as Highway Hooker Toewing, yet, both CokeVille Wyoming, and all of Idaho , would not even entertain putting a name like Highway Hooker Toewing on the air as far as advertising. Although both Dixie and Wyld Eagle has found a bunch of resistance. Due to our rather erotic, exotic production for the ads.
Now this is not talking down the LDS church. I have many, many friends, in high places in the LDS Church, including one member of the Tabernacle Choir as well as maintaince cheef of Deseret Transportation, that cheered on my radio show, and even had the follow through to getting the church to be an active sponsor of such. Yet not here in Idaho.
So are there, more ultra conservative, ultra staunch, LDS in Idaho than in Utah?
I’m looking into it and will report on that next month both here in HazzardAyre as well a on HazzardAyre and AyreWolf Radio.
