All I remember was how much fun it was to come to work each day at the two story brick on North Illinois in Indy and be greeted by their wonderful smiles. One day Alice who was Mr. Fairbanks secretary gathered a few of the beauties such as Connie, Bobbette, Ann, Judy, Betsy, Karen and of course Linda Duffy (pictured) around her to inform them that she was noticing too much decolletage around the office lately and wanted it reined in immediately. Linda later asked the girls what the hell decolletage was and they answered with … You are Linda!

Surprise is the new marketing edge.

Talk about surprises, when I left Canada to reunite with my former Radio boss Jim Hilliard in Indianapolis I was quite shocked to find out that even though American Radio sounded better they managed to accomplish this feat with about 40% fewer people. Are you reading this CBC.

Speaking of Canada I have found that most Canadians know who they are because they know where they came from. Most can trace their family’s heritage back to even little villages in the “Old Country”.

Once you finally reach the top of the ladder always remember that the people at the bottom not only have you in their sights but will work much harder and more importantly cheaper.

Technology is only now, Art is forever.

If you’re trying to bring back the past you are doomed to live in it.

Becoming famous should never be your goal because at that point it’s usually the end of your journey.

If you’re not busy being curious you’re busy dying.

The fastest and easiest way to get noticed is to just stand up to the very powerful.

Most problems are the result of poor solutions.

The reason for going to school was never to score well on a test it was to actually learn something. Right Nathaniel!

The IRS is never happy until you are unhappy.

I’m not sure any artist ever went into the recording studio to record an Adult Contemporary record which leads me to believe that only Radio people believe that kind of music even exists.

I hope some of the historic statues in the world aren’t religious in nature because they may have to be torn down or does that only happen in America.

The first time anybody in America was interested in what we were doing at KVIL was when the industry heard about our billing figures.

Is it still racist if it’s true or is it racist to ask.

Someone only has to start leading then just like baby ducks others are soon to follow.

Men always listen to what the Women they want have to say.

The first sign that spring may actually be on its way to my hometown of Winnipeg is with the arrival of the Provinicial bird  … The F**king Mosquitoes!

Wise men usually only talk when they have something to say where as fools talk coz they think they have to say something.

You know you are entering a new level of maturity (aging) when the list of Women you’d like to sleep with is much shorter than the list you wouldn’t.

I’ve come to the conclusion that Women love buying shoes much more than they enjoy wearing them.

Wow the record that changed the world “Rock Around The Clock” featured in the movie “Black Board Jungle” just turned 60.

A pessimist may merely be an optimist who had a little too much to dream last night.

If you could have seen how it was all gonna turn out for would you even had bothered to get outta bed?

Why is it much easier to piss people off than please them.

Albert Einstein once asked … If a cluttered desk represents a cluttered mind what does a clean desk represent.

Making a mistake is the only way you will ever learn what not to do.

I think the Hunny Bunny may need a Mommy Van which just gives me a Madonna Complex.

How come stupid people think they know how it all works where as wise people still have some doubts.

I always wonder who the President is talking about when he mentions all the hard working people of America. Hell compared to our Grandparents we’re all just hangin’ out.

  1. – Decolletage.. so that’s what those things were called. Even though we tried, we were always and famously outnumbered by them and obligingly so.

  2. George, this is by far, your most insightful column EVER! Loved it!

    Wow! The 60th anniversary of “Rock Around The Clock” in “Blackboard Jungle” (1955). Slight Canadian connection is “Blackboard Jungle”actor Glenn Ford, born in Quebec City and through his father’s lineage, a grand nephew of Canada’s first Prime Minister, Sir John A. McDonald, who’s buried in the same Kingston, Ontario cemetary as most of my relatives (including my mom and dad).

    By the way George, talk about passion in music. Watched the “Muscle Shoals” documentary last night on PBS. Absolutely astounding. I recommend this to anyone who loves soul music…hell anyone who loves music period.

    • Thanks Doug, The neat thing about Show Biz is there always is a Canadian connection. Thanks for the tip on “Muscle Shoals” and thanks for the read.

  3. I’ve never known anyone who was surrounded by more beautiful women than you, my friend. Linda Duffy is just another example on a long list …Her beauty would make most men ‘nervous’ – which is why I guess there’s shvitz in the pits….haha
