SOME STUFF I’VE BEEN THINKIN’ ABOUT…..

Most people are a lot more honest than those chosen to represent them.

Your reputation will long outlive you.

So when your bill is jacked up at a restaurant does management share with the servers.

Why do most restaurant owners and managers look like gangsters.

Has anybody else noticed that even though gas prices have plummeted airline tickets have not.

In Canada when I worked there the CRTC cared only about the listeners wanted so your license was based on what you promised to do for them. This promise made the program director’s position in Canada a much bigger deal than his American counter part’s.

The bad times truly reveal who your friends really are.

Why do guys who have spent most of their lives in basements trying to learn how to play a guitar feel compelled to tell us who to vote for.

The truth may set you free but it wont make you popular.

When those baby clocks go off you need be very careful ’cause they tend fall in love very easily .

Even when they totally deserve it you never can hit a woman but they can hit you.

Women may forgive but they never forget whereas men forget but they seldom forgive.

Women only know how to handle men who are attracted to them.

Do bad girls know they’re bad.

Trying to figure out which ones are bad and which ones are only naughty is a wonderful quest.

I’m attracted to broken women and they to me but neither of us has any idea how to handle each other.

You soon become whom you hang out with. 

Have you ever heard of the sales department leading the radio station into battle.

Selling radio with out ratings builds character.

Sales promotions that sound like programming promotions on a radio station are always successful.

Genius is never convenient.

Courage is the only thing you need to conger up in order to chase your dreams.

Successful people tend to listen more than talk.

Even in the dictionary struggle comes before success.

Have you ever noticed how long it takes people who have nothing to say to say it.

Working your way through problems is like lifting weights, it makes your brain stronger.

Action erases all doubt.

Why do people who have never done anything claim to know what you should do.

You learn with your ears not your mouth.

Sometimes it’s just best to do what the little voice inside you is telling you to do if for no other reason than to silence it.

  1. “Selling radio with out ratings builds character.”

    You can’t say that enough. I had to sell against your stations in Indy at WXLW. AM daytime that signed off at sundown. I made sales, but it sure would have been easier to have the numbers your stations had.

    I guess I’ve got lots of character. Earned it in Indianapolis.

    • You’ve got lots of character Tom. I remember Dick Yancey once saying to Hilliard after seeing the billing figures for the new year asking, what if we don’t get the ratings. Jim’s reply was classic … That’ll just make it tougher Yance but I still want the number.

  2. First of all: “Sometimes it’s just best to do what the little voice inside you is telling you to do if for no other reason than to silence it” is a dangerous thought; one that most psychopaths probably share.
    Secondly, I’m not sure it’s true that “you soon become whom you hang out with” – unless you tack on the words “in high school”. Little kids tend to hang out with anybody who doesn’t have cooties. But, from what I’ve learned, most people are what they become in high school. So whomever you hang out with in high school and thereafter probably has a lot to do with the person you’ve already become.

    • Not always wise to do what the little voice says Ken but always exciting.
      What I meant by the hanging out part Ken is that at any age to tend to become like you hang out with. If you play golf with folks who are better than you, you will get better. I became a much smarter radio person once I started hanging out with Hilliard. If you hang out with people who do drugs, you’ll do drugs. Question … What do you call a person who hangs out with people who do drugs? Answer … A druggie!
