A couple of Sundays ago, “Big Bob Thomas” and I put the top down and headed to a funky bar on Singer Island called “Two Drunken Goats.” The reason we like the place is because it’s on the beach and usually has live music. However, when we arrived, the joint was jammed but as luck would have it, two stools at the bar opened up right in front of us. We, of course, grabbed them and ordered us up a couple of spicey Bloody Marys. Sitting their shooting the shit while sipping our Marys, we were told that we were a couple of hours early for the band, so we decided to have one more and move on.

Finishing up our drinks and settling up the tab, I couldn’t help but notice this boisterous black dude wearing a cowboy hat sitting down at the end of the bar. He was having a grand old time laughing and talking loudly as he hit on all the ladies who were seated anywhere near him. Not only was he the only non-white in the joint; he was also the loudest and I couldn’t help but ask my friend Bob how long he thought we’d last if the circumstances were reversed. Bob claimed that my question was politically incorrect so it couldn’t be answered in public.

OK LET’S MOVE ON

You can only become as successful as you think you can.

It’s very difficult to make yourself happy but almost impossible for others to do it for you.

I wonder how many people would still want to come to America if they couldn’t get welfare?
 

It only took us 66 years from our first take off to our first landing on the moon.

In the early 80’s more than half of the people on earth lived in absolute poverty, but now only about 20% do.

Here’s how I think it should work. If women can do something better then a man they, of course, should be paid more as men should be if the reverse is true. If both sexes are equal to the task, then there is no doubt that they should be paid equally.

Criticizing another’s work doesn’t improve yours.
It is said that one of the most pleasurable things you can ever do is forgive an enemy. I’m not ready for that kind of pleasure yet, so I’ll just stick with sex.
 
Even if you’re a self-made man you still owe somebody somewhere something.
 
I don’t think there should be any language disputes. It’s simple, if you’re after someone else’s money then I suggest that you should learn their language.
 
A pessimist immediately recognizes how difficult some opportunities are whereas an optimist realizes that the only reason there is an opportunity is only because it’s difficult.
 
The more money people have, the less likely they are to give any of it away.
 
At what point do you decide if you should try harder or just walk away?
 
Seeing as most of “show business” is about the product I’m confused why radio still thinks that there’s another way?
 
You earn trust, you’re given respect, and loyalty is best demonstrated. However, at the mere hint of betrayal all three are wiped out instantly.
 
Just ’cause you can’t see it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
 
What idiot came up with the plan that a president can only serve two terms where the rest of those clowns serve forever. Oh yeah, and the word “serve” is also outdated.
 
If what you’re doing doesn’t frighten you a little, then you’re not living up to your full potential.
 
Worrying about missed opportunities prevents you from taking advantage of the ones that you didn’t miss.
 
The monopolies are still having a rough time figuring out how to monopolize music.
 
It amazes me how humble and polite most of the truly gifted are.
 
If it doesn’t come with jail time, just do it!
 
When you’re done changing, you’re done.
 
The intent of the law don’t mean a thing.
 
Absolutely everything is deductible until the IRS says it ain’t.
 
No professional athlete is as good as he claims to be.
 
It’s impossible to do a decent Boston accent without swearing.
 

You always lose once accused.

Why is it that the moment an actor achieves any success they immediately become an expert on life in general and everything about politics?

Wow did you see Scott Dixon’s crash in the Indy 500? At 220 mph his car goes airborne, flips over and crashes on top of the retaining wall, rips a hole in the iron fence and explodes as it bounces its way back onto the track. Scott crawls out of it with a bit of a sore ankle. Maybe the NFL should consider racing helmets?

Much more @ GeorgeJohns.com and on Twitter @GeoOfTheRadio. #10 comes out tomorrow.
