Sunday Morning Coming Down



First time going to church in Nashville. It must be indicitive of the neighborhood I live in but I swear I was the only person in the church that spoke English. The church down the street has a sign that says "Jesus did't speak English either". WTF? Of course he didn't, he didn't live in America. Duh. That sign just bugs me and I am not sure why. Lovely service, though. I certainly feel closer to God on Sunday.




We did a promotion with the Nashville Zoo yesterday. They had the "Zoo Run Run" to the tune of "Da Doo Run Run". They were expecting 400 runners, they cut off the registration at 1,200. I love it when radio can deliver like that. It reminds me of the old days.

I have basic cable now and I couldn't be happier. YAY!



College Basketball is now in full swing and of course, my teams suck. Mizzou seems to be getting off the mat and Iowa is...well, Iowa. Vanderbilt has been a big surprise and it's hard for me to believe this is a great team after I witnessed them lose to Furman.


Please, NFL, can we stop this nonstop taunting and showboating? Reggie Bush scored a touchdown while taunting Brian Urlacher. Let me get this straight...you're a rookie (albeit a talented one) and you're taunting Urlacher? The NFL fined him 5K which is like fining me $5. It's getting hard to watch with all the woofing that is going down. Let's stop it now.
Speaking of Reggie Bush, apparently he has been caught accepting goodies while at Southern Cal. Surprise! Not really but who will be punished if he is found guilty? Not him. SoCal will be. And that's a shame.

Love the new commercial where the father is calling and text messaging his kids at the table to the point where his wife takes it away from him. Very funny.


I saw an interview with Bob Seger today. Bob has always been the epitome of cool for me, a guy that I always admired, respected and followed with a great deal of interest. His show in Nashville was OK, but it is clear he is a shadow of what he once was. It was an interesting interview and my respcect for him is intact. He quit the music business to watch his kids go through their formative years. Good for him.
He still looks like my grandfather though; after all, sweet sixteen's turned sixty-one.


I had the best show of my short career in Nashville on Friday. Starting to get comfortable is helping but I have approached this show as a tree. Start with the basics and the trunk, slowly but surely, add more branches to the mix and hopefully, by spring this will be a "show" and not a shift. I think radio still has a lot to offer locally and personality wise. My thanks to Al Brock (the guy with the holes in his sock) for understanding and helping me realize what I want to do. It's his vison also.
