I’ve been doing radio a long time. 28 years actually. In those 2 years, I’ve been fired 4 times.  I was fired by WAAF in Boston in 2005, and showed up the next day on their immediate competitor, WBCN. WBCN is gone now. But it was a legendary Rock station. And they opened their doors to me when I needed a gig. However, when you go to a competitor, you HAVE to be careful what you say. Your former employers are usually listening. And it’s important to never burn a bridge. You’ll never hear me truly badmouth any employer on the air. Even when they put me and my wife on the street. It’s radio. You know how it goes when you get in.

Part II – It was very strange day in my career. But it felt pretty good.

Part III – The silliness continues

Part IV – Here’s how it went down. Took less than 2 minutes.

Part V – They asked me to stay the whole day. Where did I have to be right?

Part VI – The night guy joins us. They really tried hard to get me to rip on my former employer. But, it’s just not good form.

Part VII – This file is called “careful what you wish for.” My bet is that it refers to listening to a 9-part audio file on a Radio guy’s website.

Part VIII – The word began to spread amongst Boston Rock listeners, and we started getting some cool phone calls. Having a real good time at this point.

Part IX – It’s over. This was one of my favorite shows. I made two new friends and felt great about being wanted. That’s what all radio guys want. The symbolic “hug from afar.”

There are some jobs that meant more to me than others. I made lifelong friends @ KRXQ. Worked with extremely talented people. Some of whom I stay in touch with to this day. I left to take my wife home to Boston to be near her family. It was a decision I have regretted since making it. This was my last shift there and every time I listen, I remember how sad I was. Let’s hug it out bitches!

Manson ended up headlining this show due to illness on Ozzy’s part. I had heard that Ozzy actually hit it hard the night before in Seattle, with a few other un-named members of the tour. During his performance, he was very sick, and molested (fisted actually. I think she sued him for it) one of his backup dancers. Come on down! Bring the kids! It’s a family show!

Here’s one of (how many?) my talks with Lars. I always seem to have an awkward moment with him. We’ve had many good times over the years. I am always humbled when he comes up and says hello. Lars knows me. That’s pretty cool. During this chat, we had a listener with us, who was supposed to interview him. Lars made her feel comfortable. Until my awkward moment. Classy.

This is the third song in the famed “Creed Trilogy.” This one also wasn’t on my CD. So, this would be the only place you can find it these days. Of all the shots I’ve taken at the band over the years, this is one of my favorite pieces. Also one of the longest. I think it holds up though. The payoff seems to be worth it. People ask me who write and sings my songs. When I tell them that *I* do, they say “we didn’t know you could sing.”  I then tell them “If I could…I wouldn’t be in radio.” This was a fun one to write *and* sing. Hope you enjoy it.
