immature

Been a while since I updated you…

I’ve been in Arizona for a couple of weeks and all I can say is, it is truly paradise. Yeah “it’s a dry heat.” But, it’s so beautiful. Mountains everywhere. Sunshine every day. World Class Everything!

The station has undergone a bit of musical adjustment and we’re sounding a bit more contemporary these days. Took me a while to find what our listeners wanted to hear. We also launched our brand new morning show; Sludge Nation. Sludge is good people. The show is silly & immature and right up my alley. So far, the response has been amazing. I couldn’t be happier.

A lot of you have asked when I will be back on the air. The fact is…I’m the station Program Director. For the first time in my 25 year career, I’m not on the air. There’s no plan at this time to return. It’s a strange feeling. But, I am so energized by all of the other things going on, that I am as comfortable as I could be.

I have a great staff of professionals that I work with, and we’re all focused on returning KDKB to it’s rightful place in Phoenix.

Again…words will never quite express how appreciative we are for all of your support during the “beach time.” As you’re reading this, I am in KC for a day to go get the rest of my stuff, and the dogs and make the drive for a second time.

We’re heading to the desert! Life is good.

    Paul,
    I’m glad to hear of your new gig! I hope you knock their
    their rockin asses off! I really enjoyed your afternoon gig at “the evil empire”. I never really heard what happened, but
    for me personally, “asshole bob” earned his nickname when
    he let ya go. I’ve emailed you just afterward, then as now, Nivens just doesn’t do it. (again, no disrespect to Nivens..lol)
    I’m glad your new station streams their audio, but I won’t be able to listen, cuz I’m workin’…lol
    Anyway, I just wanted to drop ya a line and wish you, and yours the very best. You will be sorely missed here in K.C.
    Keep us posted.

    Just listened to Knocker Up. A “16-track demo?” That’s simple? Dude. It sounded pretty professional to me.

  5. Paul -

    The next time you need medical attention, you can talk to the hospital to set up a payment plan, which they need to do by law if you need to have a non-optional procedure. Additionally, by law, they cannot take away your property for medical debt.

    Not about taking it away. About me not being able to make my rent. Despite what some would like the public to believe, living on unemployment isn’t really living at all. Thanks for the information Adam. You’re a good friend!

  7. this will be your 4th station since we’ve met…congrats and I hope this move brings you as many good times and joy as all of the others combines. enjoy the desert man!

    NEANDERPAUL,

    been checkin up on your situation ever since you left kqrc, glad you finally found a gig. I like nivens, but it’s just not the same without an innapropriate joke giving me a reason to call every day. Was usually greeted by a busy signal, but was a pleasent ride home everyday with you on the airwaves.

    best of luck, and know you’ll always have fans in KC.

  14. neanderpaul says:

    Thank you very much. It’s a very exciting time for us right now

    I am a little envious that you are officially going to be living in Arizona. I loved the 7 years we lived there. Winter is so lovely there compared to Kansas!! I hope they still do the tumbleweed Christmas tree.
    Take care and best wishes in the next stage of your life ♥

    It’s awesome. Sunshine and palm trees!

    Paul,
    I’ve checked the site every few days for the update.
    I’m so glad things are going so awesome for ya.
    The assholes over at the “evil empire” don’t have a clue as
    to what they lost.(or maybe now they do) I, and the rest
    of us here in K.C. will miss your personality and humor for along time to come. I just want to wish you and yours all the best that Arizona has to offer ya. Let me know how the bike rides go in Az!

    Take care, bro.
    Ed
