When my Daughter Candis turned five all I wanted to become was the man she already thought I was. When about 25 years later my Daughter Cami turned five I realized I still had some more work to do.

My Brother Reg told me this week that I’m still much better at being inspirational than I am at being an A** Hole. He said he has met a bunch of them in his travels and most of them were a lot better at it than me. Damn! And I thought I was getting pretty good at it.

There is a simple way of achieving happiness. Just simply say what you mean, and mean what you say. Hey that ain’t that simple!

How long do you think the FCC is going to tolerate the nationalization of local radio.

When I was discussing with Marnie Howard what I thought she should do with her great book “Giving Is Living” she said, “Your just fearless aren’t you!”
I’m not sure she meant that in a good way.

Robert Murphy told me that when he had a job interview in Dallas, to do mornings, he turned on the #1 Morning guy, Ron Chapman to hear how tough he would be to beat.
Ron at that moment was taking a call from a woman who said she was calling from Arlington. When Ron asked her where abouts in Arlington she told him and he said … Oh your almost across the street from that old Texaco station they’re tearing down. Robert said he was outta there, he couldn’t possibly love the Dallas area as much as Chapman.

Speaking of Ron Chapman, I can hardly wait to be sitting at his table in Vegas in April when the NAB inducts him in to the Radio Hall OF Fame.
My main role in this affair is of course to carry his bags and park the car for Nance and him just like I have always done.

There is nothing more powerful than a song, it just kinda sneaks up on you and changes your life.

I only trust the people who love me. Boy that list sure could stand to be just a tad longer.

Shouldn’t there be a little trainin’ on what to do if you fall in love. It’s the best and worst thing that will ever happen to you.

I’m really lovin’ the word yes lately and maybe that’s only because I finally heard it a couple of times last week. As foreign sounding as it was, it still had a nice warm glow to it, just like I remembered.

Canada is very proud of being a unprejudiced Nation. But when you hear the English speaking population talking about the French and vice versus not to mention how they both speak about the Indians, ya just gotta wonder where they came up with all that pride.

Disneyland/World is just a bunch of roller coaster rides like any other park but their image sure ain’t. Hmmmmmmmmm

Unfortunately it seems you don’t accumulate wealth by being very nice.

I wonder what’s worse, being married to someone you don’t love or being married to somebody who doesn’t love you.

After all these years, hearing my record with my band The Jury on the radio for the first time still ranks right up there as one of my all time favorite breathless moments.

Joe Amaturo loves the word specificity but by the time you even learn how to say it … It’s already too late to live by it.

There has got to be a good reason why there are not more statues dedicated to or honoring Mr. businessman.

Jerry Del Colliano says that when Steve Jobs brings down his Tablet to us it will have access to virtually everything on it but Terrestrial Radio.

If you can figure out how to get your listeners to listen to your station for an extra day a week, you’ll blow the ratings apart.

My daughter Candis asked me the other day if I won the lottery what would I do. I replied … Remodel my Florida Condo, maybe by a little place in California for the summer and I guess a new car. She said no, what would you do work wise.
I told her I wouldn’t change a thing because right now I only work at what I want to work at, and and I only do it when I want to do it. Why would I want to change any of that.

Back in the fifties, young adults had money for the first time in history and became a commodity called teens. They instantly invented Elvis, I wonder what they are inventing right now?

I’ve noticed that your taste in women doesn’t seem to evolve much as time goes on. When I was 15, twenty year old women sure looked great to me and they still do.

I think radio folks at the moment are too busy working on things that have nothing to do with ratings to have any chance of getting any.

I think all rock stars wish they had the charisma of movie stars and all movie stars wish they could sing like rock stars.

I wonder what kind of people want to start a radio career these days.

I only want women I cant have.

The folks would rather listen to bad commercials than bad music.

How could possibly not take it personally when you get fired
