You know the expression "a face for radio"? Well, the first line of this e-mail would have sounded fine, but it sure looks ugly.
The most obvious error is the it's, but that sentence is also missing a comma. I also think that the semicolon toward the end should be a colon or an em-dash.
Thanks to my mom for sending this one in. Looking foward to seeing Bono and the boys with you on the 21st!

As a former radio personality and manager...I've gotta say that industry-wide, the grammar you'll encounter is HORRIBLE. I know a couple other radio folks who have excellent grammar skills, but they are truly the exceptions. The errors on this e-mail blast do not surprise me in the least.
By the way, is MUSE opening up for U2 at the show you'll be attending???
No, unfortunately, it's Snow Patrol. Boo-ring.
Awww! Crappy. Yeah, they are kind of a snooze...
who has enough free time to think or care about this crap!?!?!?!?!??! GET A REAL HOBBY
