Years ago when I grew a beard for the 1st time I found out that my Dad back in Canada was also growing one. I sure wish he was here now to do it with me one more time.

I remember when the whole class would get punished for the action of a few and I’m thinking that we should use that same strategy with the Muslims. Either they straighten ISIS out or we severely punish them all.

Speaking of Muslims, where would I find a list of all their accomplishments, like what did they invent, what cure did they come up with, what charities do they head up, how much money do they send to poorer countries and what brilliant art did they create.

How you treat people who can’t fight back shows how strong you really are.

My Daughter Candis who gave up her singing career to become a Super Mom as you may know auditioned for “Americas Got Talent” last week. The way this all came about was talk show host Rich Stevens on WFTL in Fort lauderdale had a connection to the show so he was able to get her a “front of the line pass” which meant she didn’t have to wait in line all day in order to audition.
Even though the no wait was what got her to do it, she is so glad that she did because she had a ball and now refers to herself as the Singing Mom. That being said she claims that even as much fun as the singing was, being one of the first 20 let in was the best part of the whole deal. Thanks Rich!

No body ever died protecting a flag, they were always protecting someone they loved.

It’s always good to sound casual on the radio but then again there is definitely nothing casual about radio.

You build a radio audience one listener at a time.

The weaker your signal the stronger your programming must be.

Putting Radio and TV race reporters in drivers suits makes about as much sense as putting Managers in baseball uniforms.

I used to threaten the air talent I was involved with that if they ever embarrassed me on air in front of my 13 year old daughter I would try to ruin their career. Thank God both of them are all grown up now, whew!

If you can figure out how to be foreground and background on your radio station you’ll also have most of the money.

Picking the hits leads to nothing where as playing the hits leads to everything.

The way it’s supposed to work is, the air talent promotes the station and the station promotes the air talent.

Talking about what the people are talking about on the radio leads to good things but getting the folks to talk about you leads to great things.

Most of the content I hear on the radio seems to be aimed at people who wouldn’t be caught dead wearing a PPM device.

Speaking of daughters the first thing they have to give up when they get involved with a boyfriend are the words … Well my Dad says.

If a gifted person adds creativity to their repertoire they become almost unstoppable.

Is it just me or is Social Media now turning Kanye into a clown just like they did to Brian Williams.

Today is tomorrow’s yesterday so you better get on with making some memories today while you still can.

Consuming too much wine sometimes gives you the courage to say that stupid thing you’ve always wanted to say.

Whom do you think are the worst … The people behind the counter at the Post Office or the DMV.

Are pro athletes really listening to anything in those earphones they’re wearing when they get off the bus to go into the arena or is it just their way of ducking the reporters.

The law is for lawyers, the intent of the law is what we’re after.

Venus Williams claims she loves the rain because growing up she had to practice tennis 5 hours a day except when it rained.

I grew up with 2 older cousins, Irving and Ben and I remember wishing that I could be as old as them. I no longer wish that.

Your freedom of speech ends at the doors to your place of business and your human rights end at the tip of my nose.

If the staff decided the compensation for their boss, how much do you suppose they would make.

Even after all this time I can still remember hearing Jimmy Darin playing our record by The Jury for the very first time.

If you have to explain who you are you ain’t.

I’ve heard lots of huge acts thank Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Jerry lee Lewis for their inspiration but I’ve never heard them thank anybody.

It used to be that if you went to college you had a jump start on life but now it’s … What college did you go to.

As I write some of this I’m watching some of the greatest talent in the world on the red carpet at the 40th anniversary of SNL and they just like most people in show biz, they are terrible without a script.

I remember when David letterman blew the Oscars and Johnny Carson said to him … David David David, the Oscars are for the actors, it’s their party man talk to them not the TV audience we’re just along for the ride.

My Daughter Cami thinks I’m a twit for not using twitter so here I go tweet GeorgeOfTheJury and show me how this works if you’d be so kind.

Much more @GeorgeJohns.com
