Today I might sleep in...

Wait. I'm up already. Habits die hard.

Well, Yesterday something happened that actually didn't surprise me:

I was Fired!

Well, not just me, but The Front Row Morning Show, too. The end of an Era that started before me, had many players, good times, bad times, fun, Rock and Dirty Talk.

Many people grew up on it. I just started with it almost a year ago, but I think getting to know everyone who called, wrote in and some that I worked with, will stay with me as one of the best times of my life.

Already so many people have asked me If I plan on going back to Hollywood...?

I would like to stay in Fresno, if I could get a show. If you have one, know of one, or have the goods in the way of Blackmail-able photos of someone in charge of handing out shows, please help me out!

I feel as I was just getting going. Just learning what is cool about the people of Fresno and the Valley. Just meeting nice people.

Many have asked me, Why did this happen?

It's complex... It's all about money. Sometimes these things happen and they're not personal. They feel that way. Radio wants to please those listeners that spend the money. Radio stations want Advertisers to spend money on them.

It doesn't mean radio thinks your opinions mean nothing when your favorite DJ, Host, or Band is booted off the air... It's just business.

When I was a kid, and a DJ was fired, sometimes it was like losing a brother. One day they were just... GONE!

Like they died, or something.

You could never get any info out of the station about what happened, or where they went.

This was before the internet. Now you can search online. Maybe the Jock has a website, a blog, a streaming online radio show, or a podcast that can ease the pain of loss.

I'm still here. If you care to reach me, I'm here. Still in Fresno, hoping something good comes along. I want to do a show on the air in town, but till then, or not, I'll do a podcast for you.

It won't be all the music, but if there was anything about what I had to say that you dug, you found familiar in yourself, or if you felt we could be friends... Keep it here and let me know.

The station can't tell you anything about what happened, there is a Press Release out, but if you call the station, I'm sure you won't have the answers you want. Because the answers are never what we want to hear anyway. Life is hard. The World is tough. Jobs suck. Great jobs are so hard to find. Harder to keep. America is about making profits. Show Business is a Business that needs profit.

Sony is laying off something like 10,000 workers. North West Airlines laid off 1400. Who hasn't been fired? It really sucks. We're all in a boat, in flooded cities, in a hurricane with no rescue coming.

Some have newborn babies to feed.

Some just got married.

And radio stations are suffering too...

More people are listening to original podcasts than ever, downloading music is so easy, radio too, is treading water. Changes hurt, but they are needed sometimes.

Local radio is disappearing, but podcasting can ease that pain of loss and need for a local voice, a nearby friend...

I am here.

Bookmark this page, let your friends know I'm here till I'm back on radio, or TV.

It would be a shame to lose all my new friends. And if and when I get another offer to host a show, I'll take you along to that station!
