What's Wrong With This Picture?
Paul Harris is a talk host who's sharp, funny, and always has a unique perspective on the issues.
After several successful years on the air in St. Louis, Paul Harris is out of work.
Paul Harris...Kevin James...
And you wonder why people in my business drink...

Best Video Of The Week (that doesn't have Bill O'Reilly in it)...
Politics aside, this is the state of "talk radio" today. With all the radio jobs that have been lost in recent years, all the talented, capable broadcasters who are out of work because of consolidation...AND THIS MORON IS GAINFULLY EMPLOYED? IN LOS FRICKIN ANGELES?
Screw it...I think this guy has the right idea...

Who You Gonna Believe - Some Damn Liberal Think Tank Or The Tiny Little People In My Salt Shaker?
Here's still further evidence, via the Manhattan Institute, that the Kitty-Bar-The-Borders crowd have their collective heads where the sun don't shine.

Love So Sweet
“I’ve been a drifter and a long-time loser;
You could learn a lot from me…”
Today’s musical moment comes from the man No Depression magazine called the Last of the Great Cowboy Poets.
Ladies and gentlemen, Billy Joe Shaver…

Fallin' Through The Cracks
I've spoken before of how many talented personalities have gotten the shaft from the radio industry in years. In response someone on one of the message board sites I frequent posed the following:
I would be very interested to hear who some of these talented folks are who aren't getting a shot are. Local dudes? I'd love to hear some names, air-checks, let hear some of this talent.
Actually, that's a good idea; we should talk about some of the genuinely talented people out there whose broadcast careers have been strangled and aborted by the mechanics of the biz today. Modesty (ha ha) forbids me from touting myself, and I'll won't dwell on deceased talents like, say, Bob Lassiter, who would have fit this category in his sad, final years...
...so I'll start with one of my living, breathing favorites...
ED TYLL: My all-time favorite host. After several fruitful years in Orlando and Los Angeles, his radio career seemed to lose focus. Which is sad because every talk station in America should be banging on his door, offering him a truckload of dough to get him back behind a mike.
Last I heard, Ed was alive and well and doing voiceover and standup in the New York area. Ed doesn't need radio; the point is that radio needs him.
