That's Curious George: Let's Look Back
Last year I went back to Indianapolis to visit some friends and I happened to catch Orly Knutson doing a little fill in work on the radio. I was amazed at how young he still sounded.
When I bumped into Orly a couple of days later in a restaurant I mentioned it to him, he laughed and said he gets calls all the time from people telling him that they used to listen to his Dad.
Passion and Emotion are entirely two different things.
I guess it’s good thing that women don’t watch much porn because if they did, a bunch of them would be horrified to see themselves starring in it.
Jim Hilliard was a father figure to a lot of our staff at Fairbanks. So when he told you he thought you deserved that exotic new car, swimming pool or even a new house, you went ahead and got it. Next thing though you were working like a dog trying to make the payments.
The great thing about having Daughters is you are their hero for their whole life. Can’t say you will be to their Mothers though.
Speaking of daughters, a young woman approached me in the parking lot of the restaurant I had eaten at tonight and said … Sir, the gas light in my car is on empty and I don’t have any money to get back home can you help me. I reluctantly helped her with a few dollars
Now my daughters will suffer because of it because now I think they both need a lot more education. I will not allow them to be in the situation that young woman was in, and only education will keep them from it.
Russ Morley said … You throw one cart down the hall and somehow it becomes your life long reputation. Russ when you did that, WRMF was one of the finest sounding radio stations in North America. I think you may need to do it again !
I think the only time technology becomes as important as the product is when the technology enhances the product like FM did.
I was having lunch with old friend Chuck Knapp this week and just seeing him reminded me of when we were working together at All New WIBG in Philly.
One day I was listening to Chuck just cookin’ along like only he can do when all of a sudden he comes out of a record and starts lecturing us on the evils of smoking.
He made smoking sound so bad that I had to smoke a whole pack of cigarettes in five minutes just to try and calm myself.
Doesn’t it get a little boring when you and your friends virtually agree on everything.
Jim Quail said if you have to think about it, you should never start a fight in Hockey, especially not with him.
Ermanno Barone told me he was getting ready to shoot a movie about Marilyn Monroe. I think he said I could help with the casting but I wasn’t sure because he kinda mumbled it.
When I said to Warren Cosford after hearing Dale Hawkins died that I thought he might be The Hawk’s cousin. He replied, George everybody in Arkansas are cousins, just like in Transcona.
Tom Skinner told me the research on 40 year old women was finally in. 50% Landing Strip, 25% Brazilian, 25% All Natural.
Bill Gardner says he is tired of staring at the Ocean. “Put Me In Coach”
When the Fall Arbitron came out in Santa Rosa, Gordon Zlot said if the total shares of our 3 stations beat their 5 stations, we’re bringin’ the Champagne. That project took Brent Farris about 2 minutes to complete, the delivery of the Champagne took 15.
When I first became a PD all my creative time was spent talking to upper Management about the length of the Jox hair.
I wonder how many times a day a Government employee uses the word no.
The more successful you become the more you tend to stop doing what made you successful. Just ask Toyota.
I think when a new President takes office all Civil Servants should have to reapply for their jobs and explain what they do, and why they should continue to do so.
My Father used to tell me to stay away from the bad girls. The problem with that advice was they had a hell of a lot more influence over me than he did.
Reid Reker says after you finally get past Monday and Tuesday even the calendar says WTF.
There is absolutely no money in pointing out what’s wrong with this picture. All the money is in coming up with a solution of how to fix it.
In a court of law if the truth is not politically correct, do you still have to tell it.
Jerry Bobo claims that there are some sales types in in The Texas Radio Hall Of Fame. Hmmmmmm I wonder what the All Star Cast of the original KVIL who are all in there think about that.
I want about half of all the women I meet, but that’s down from the 90% of only a few years ago.
In Radio today I feel a way way too much time is spent on things other than Ratings & Revenue.
I don’t think society has the right to seek revenge for a crime that has been committed no matter how horrific, but those personally and directly affected sure do.
Whom do you think the public dislikes the most … Oil Companies, Banks, Medical Insurers or The Government.
Is there ever a convenient time to put gasoline in your car.
I think the Star system works this way. On stage the Actor is the Star. Backstage it’s the Director.
Because the Saints won the Superbowl and The Jury had a record out called Who Dat? the same year The New Orleans Saints were born, there seems to be some renewed reaction with a lot of hits on our old tune on You Tube http://.youtube.com/watch?v=XDmGSgLikvk
Who Dat? Turned out to be my daughter Candis who was born that same year.
