Being Nathaniel’s “Buppa” brings with it the responsibility of having to give him some sage advice. Isn’t that what Grandfathers do. I feel the advice should be somewhat useful through out his life so I’m going to what life really turns out to be about. “Faster Cars, Older Whisky, and Younger Women” I don’t think he should be wasting a lot of time on other activities. I will also advise him against the use of 3 very special words which could change his whole world forever. He will always need to use extreme caution whenever saying “I Love You.” In fact I think he should only use those words when speaking directly to a family member.(Mothers love it) The good news though is the lengths some people will go to get him to say those words are rather delightful.
Have you ever heard the phrase … He’s a wise young man. I didn’t think so.
Ray Lewis claimed if there was no NFL this fall crime in America would go up because the folks wouldn’t have anything to do. Now that it’s all settled I guess I can cancel my Uzi order.
When I was a young lad I lived in a small Manitoba town called Swan River which was in the middle of all the wheat farming country. The Farmers as I remember were always complaining about the weather. It was always too cold, too hot, too dry or too rainy. Spring came too early or too late, the same for fall. No matter the weather though, they all flew their own planes South for the Winter .
I guess the Rappers must be the Poets of our time. I just don’t see any of it having Centuries of staying power the Poetry that came before it had.
In order for a Contest to be successful on the Radio the Prize needs to be “The Thing” and it better be a unique thing.
It appears to me the rich folk are being taken care of by the Republicans and the Democrats seem to be handling the poor. I think the rest of us need our own political party and seeing as we out number the other two groups I think we could kick some major ass.
I wonder what Hitler’s parents were like. I bet there wasn’t a lot of hugging going on in that family.
Speaking of parents and the importance of parenting. The only people who get to judge whether or not I’ve been a good Father, are my Children.
Radio is Mass Media and the more it tries to squeeze the demos, the angrier the rating gods get.
I love the same TV shows the public loves I just don’t watch many of them.
Most Men don’t get to make love as much as they would like to. Women though are doing it more often than they would really like to. It’s God’s little joke.
A Bumble Bee is not designed to fly, it’s body is too heavy for it’s wings. But the Bee doesn’t know it.
I am a hell of a lot smarter on this Laptop than I am in person.
Once sales gets involved with a Radio promotion it takes a hell of a lot of creativity to keep the listeners interested in it.
No matter how strong and focused a Man is there is not one alive who can resist taking a peek at a beautiful Woman as she walks by, including gays.
This year LeBron James finally proved once and for all that Michael Jordan is the greatest Basketball player of all time.
The people with the least amount of natural talent usually own the biggest egos. Explain that one to me.
Someone finally came up with the difference between the words complete and finished. If you find the right woman and marry her you’re complete. If you marry the wrong woman you’re finished. Or to put it even a little stronger you may be completely finished.
I understand New York recently passed a law allowing Gays to be married. They have been allowed to marry in Canada for a long time now so I’m told they don’t.
I feel the CKY/CITI Alumni should make an exception and invite Warren Cosford to our reunion in May. Warren worked with many of the legends who are coming and is quite legendary himself not to mention that he is a Winnipegger too. Warren started his career at the wrong station, CJOB (-: But I’m sure he listened to Canada’s Friendly Giant so that qualifies him in my book.
Am I the only one who thinks cars still work much better than cell phones or computers?
“Faster Cars, Older Whisky and Younger Women”
…and the fourth item in Tom T. Hall’s list (in “Faster Horses”) is at least as important as two of the other three … more money.
Very true Doug!
It occurs to me that the “more money” one is the MOST important … it’s the one that can make the other three come true!
Most of it will go to the older women you leave behind for that younger woman. (-:
Hitlers parents were Catholic. You can make almost anything you wish of that, but not much has ever been written about their family hugging tendencies. Don’t Catholics hug at church? I wouldn’t know.
Isn’t that strange that there is not much on Hitler’s parents. I bet there are also no Hitlers listed in the phone book either.
Wow….if the rest agree to invite me, would that mean I will be an Honourary ‘KY Good Guy? That IS an honour (that’s honor in Canadian).
Seriously, I might never have had a career in Rock and Roll Radio had ex ‘KY Good Guy J. Robert Wood not taken a chance and hired me at CHUM. Later, when I became Production Manager, the first two people I hired were working at CKY…..Rick Hallson and Bob McMillan. John Tucker followed them later. They made me look good as I knew they would, because they came from CKY.
Over the years George, you and I worked “across the street” from each other a couple of times. I’m thrilled, and even a little surprised, that for the first time you’re doing something FOR me instead of to TO me. I might even buy you a drink in May.
Cheers
WC
Warren I’ll take you up on that drink. I’m sure the rest of the 60s guys would be thrilled to have you at our table. Can you imagine if all the people who came out of Winnipeg were all at the same station how exciting that would have been. Rick Hallson was at KY when I was, where is he now.
