Re: Jobs
What an asinine post. I lived for years in Canada, a country with single payer insurance, so I KNOW what a properly run health system looks like. Believe me, it's NOTHING like this fuster cluck in the US. I retired 6 mo ago, I'm on Medicare but I have to buy insurance for my wife. It's $300/mo with ...

Note to radio: Change or be changed
No I haven't come out of retirement, but I thought this was worth reading.

Have a happy day!
I have finally decided to put an end to my long and arduous daily commute... 1 1/2 hours each way to DC and back... and packed it in on over 50 years in the work-a-day world. I am now officially retired! I started at age 13 playing drums on a live, Saturday Morning Country music show. I then became ...

Re: As They Say In the Falklands, Falkem!
Great post! As a Vietnam era vet, I experienced the kind of disrespect and hatred form civilians you mentioned, albeit not nearly as virulent as having been spat upon or anything approaching that. Many of us mounted our base stickers on plastic, rather than permanently on our windshields, to avoid h...

Re: Can you earn a livible wage in radio today???
Having spent over 35 years in radio on a full time basis and another 12 in the I.T. field, I concur with the above. $40,000 is a ridiculous sum to pay for a degree in Communication Arts, or whatever they call it these days. Pick up a degree in something substantial, pursue the radio thing on the sid...

Re: Dick Clark Remembered
Halltalk is right, Dick Clark was as much a manipulator of the early rock stars as anyone else in those days. He was also the direct conduit for all those Philly (mostly Cameo/Parkway) artists... Chubby Checker, Frankie Avalon, Fabian, Bobby Rydell, The Dovells etc etc... to stardom. They recorded t...

Re: Clear Channel....
Your chances of being out on your A$$ in 6 months to a year are pretty good anywhere in radio today. "Back in the day" our chances of being out on our A$$es in 6 months to 2 years were pretty good. The one year difference, and fewer opportunities are about all that have changed. Years ago I regarded...

Re: Does Situations Wanted Section Actually Work???
OK, how 'bout this!
"Elderly, worn out, and utterly useless pile of human slop about to retire and looking for next opportunity. Preferably six figure income with view of ocean, well stocked keg-a-rator and a daily supply of Hooters 3 mile Island wings."
