A LOVE cheat balances naked and shivering on an air conditioning vent after being caught romping with another man’s wife.
Sun Meng, 25, fled outside with the husband yelling abuse from his apartment window. This photo was taken by a neighbor, then posted on a local community website.

Sun said in Chengdu, central China: “People are even laughing at how I look naked. But I must point out it was a very cold day.”

Coming to a theater near you…the good old days.

Posted in: Uncategorized

I got hooked on radio when I was in the 7th grade.

I was born in 1951.

You do the math.

In those days radio was exciting, we took risks, we pissed people off and well……we loved it.

I’ve been sued by church groups and labeled a radical, hippy, bomb thrower, smart ass, etc.  All true.

Working at Rock101 is like the old days.

Our Program Diector notonly lets us be ourselves…hell he encourages it. 

I’m lucky…..very lucky.

Now, I told you that, to tell you this.  Check out the move trailer below.

Not since ‘FM” have I been excited about a  movie centered on radio.

Meet my “new” ride. :)

Posted in: Uncategorized

I wanted to take a moment and let you see the car I’ve been talking about for the past 2 weeks.

The folks at Century – BMW have given me the chance to drive this beautiful 328-SI, hardtop convertible. As you can see it is as slick a ride as you will see anywhere.

For 14 days I have been all over the upstate letting folks check it out.  I’ve been from the Canned Film Festival, to lunch at Fuddruckers, dinner at Hibachi Grill, Pete’s in Simpsonville, an anyplace I could think to drive. LOL

It’s a great car and I think I’m about to move into an “M” class BMW SUV in the next day or two. I can’t wait to see what German engineering has done with a bigger footprint, because this Series 3  is light years beyond anything I driven in decades.

Again thanks to Bobby and the Crew at Century – BMW, and you should take a few minutes, go by and get a test drive. You won’t believe how good, “great” can feel.

Now You Pissed Us Off!

Posted in: Uncategorized

Man, what a great deal for South Carolina and Charleston, the biggest thing to hit the state since BMW. The Boeing Corporation has announced that it has chosen its North Charleston facility as the location for a second final assembly site for the 787 Dreamliner program.
Boeing Charleston Facility
Boeing evaluated criteria that were designed to find the final assembly location within the company that would best support the 787 business plan as the program increases production rates. In addition to serving as a location for final assembly of 787 Dreamliners, the facility also will have the capability to support the testing and delivery of the airplanes.

“Establishing a second 787 assembly line in Charleston will expand our production capability to meet the market demand for the airplane,” said Jim Albaugh, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes.

But the disturbing part can out of Everett, Washington, T.M. Sell, a college professor and author of a book about Boeing, told a reporter “They say we we gotta have parts made all over the world, because our markets are all over the world. And there’s some truth to that. But that doesn’t explain sending fuselage work to South Carolina to be done by the functional equivalent of Wal-Mart greeters.” A Boeing factory worker said “We see the South Carolina products that come into our factory, and it’s poor quality.” Another worker said he would be worried about safety if he knew he had to fly on a 787 made at the South Carolina location.

That’s one hell of a slap in the face, but future South Carolina employees of Boeing will build the safest 787 in the air! Proud owners of the BMW X5 and X6 drive one of the safest cars in the world built right here in Greer, South Carolina. Let’s not forget Michelin, ICAR, Bowater, GE, Honeywell, Northup Grumman and the list goes on and on. The same pride and professionalism will happen in North Charleston. Congrats South Carolina!

Just a few suggestions………

Posted in: Uncategorized

Howdy kids and welcome back to Story time.  This is where you get to let your imagination run free! 

With Halloween just days away I’m sure your are trying to decide what your costume will be.  Everyone knows it needs to be something familiar, something cute and something you can whip together at the last minute.  Otherwise, your candy haul will be far far smaller than it needs to be.

Allow me to offer a few suggestions within the Wal-Mart theme.  These are based on some things I would like to see.  6 greeter

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band canceled last night’s Kansas City show at the Sprint Center only hours before show time due to the unexpected death of Springsteen’s cousin, 36-year-old Lenny Sullivan.
A statement posted on brucespringsteen.net read: “Lenny Sullivan, Bruce’s cousin and the assistant road manager of the E Street Band for the last 10 years, passed away today at the age of 36. A warm and sensitive person, he was beloved by Bruce, the band, the crew, and the entire Thrill Hill family. Our deepest condolences to all those who knew him and loved him.”

Ode to the Panther fans

Posted in: Uncategorized

I love this team’s grit, the running game and the fact that they are our “home team” but I just can’t bring myself to become a true Carolina Panthers fan right now. I have actually felt this way for a couple of years and my reason seemed not to make sense to other fans for a while but now I think you all can agree with me. Jake Delhomme is the reason I can’t support this team.

       I’ve even been a big fan of Coach John Fox and what he’s done with the team over the years, but his insistence on keeping Delhomme as his starter over the past 3 years has made me question his coaching ability as well. What does Coach Fox think he’s going to get if he keeps sticking with this hack? I tell you what he’s going to get, FIRED!

       I want to be clear now on this, I have not been a fan of Delhomme since he became the QB of this team, I could just feel that he was like some dude that was on a seriously hot, lucky streak that was just a game away from ending. The team and its talented players on both sides of the ball were masking a lot of what seemed to be obvious flaws in the guy’s game. I could see it but for the past 3 years I felt like the guy in the story “the emperor has no clothes” and I was the only one who could see it or admit it! You cannot tell me that A.J.Feeley or even Matt Moore could do better than what this guy is doing right now. Or how about the dozen or so good Quarterbacks that have been available to the team over the past few years in the form of free agents or off the waiver wire. I mean Jeff Garcia was sitting right there and they didn’t go for him and waited for the Eagles to pick him up and then dump Feeley so they then grabbed him! I feel sorry for all the players on the team who go out every week and have to suffer through a game where they are busting there asses to win, they get in the open and then have a 10 yard pass sail over their heads into the opposing teams hands for another score! Come on Coach Fox, please see the light that everyone else can see, please stop this torture we endure every Sunday, you have a “open wound” that’s making your team bleed to death, FIX IT NOW!

       Remember the movie “King pin”? Woody Harrelson’s character

was named Roy Munson and remember how his name became the cliché’ for when a person screws up? Like don’t pull another “Munson” dude? Well I think Munson should be replaced by: Don’t pull another Delhomme, dude! I hope Coach Fox can finally stop this painfully tragic comedy taking place each Sunday and stop pulling a “Delhomme” himself every weekend. Give the Carolina’s a team with a real Quarterback. I mean there’s got to be one guy out there better than what we have now!

Hey Ya’ll

Posted in: Uncategorized

IMG_4047Wow Lots of things to get to. First I want to say how great it was to meet so many good people and be a part of this year’s GHS Children’s Hospital radiothon. It’s a true honor to be doing something like that every year. And I can’t say enough about the great people at the Hospital and our own support staff here at Entercom Greenville. And a special thanks to all of you wonderful listeners who donated your time and $$$ to this most worthy of causes. It’s one of those great moments in ones’ life, to just be a part of something, that’s making such a positive difference in so many kids’ lives!

       And it was just as fun and gratifying to have joined up with Harvest Hope for the Canned Film Festival to raise food and awareness for another very worthy cause. The realization that so many people here in the upstate go hungry every day is something I’m glad to be doing something about. Again I’m so proud to be with a great company and great group of people like we have here at Entercom that gets us involved in helping the people of the upstate and using the airwaves to do good things for the community we all live in.

     This all leads me to one other thing I wanted to share with you all. It’s a great big THANK YOU for making my afternoon show the number one show in the upstate again! I’m humbled by your support and thank you from the bottom of my heart for the support you’ve given me over almost ten years I’ve been here in Greenville. I could have never expected that after all this time, I’d still be in the same place and enjoying doing my show for you all everyday like I still do. It doesn’t happen in radio that often and I feel so blessed and fortunate I found myself here at Rock 101 all those years ago. I’m so grateful for the chance to grow and become part of this great station and area. I hope to see you all out at Lynyrd Skynyrd this Saturday night. There isn’t a more important Band and concert in this town and I can’t wait to rock out with all you great people. Thanks for making it all happen for the station and for myself, and I hope it keeps on a rolling for a long time to come!

32 years

Posted in: Uncategorized

It was 32 years ago today (October 20th, 1977), that a plane carrying Lynyrd Skynyrd crashed in a swamp near Gillsburg, Mississippi. At the time, the group was en route to its next show in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The crash took the lives of lead singer Ronnie Van Zant; guitarist Steve Gaines and his sister, backup singer Cassie Gaines; Lynyrd Skynyrd manager Dean Kilpatrick, as well as the plane’s two pilots.

All the other members of the band suffered horrific injuries, from which they eventually recovered. Two years later, survivors Gary Rossington and Allen Collins (guitars), Billy Powell (keyboards) and Leon Wilkeson (bass) formed a new group, the Rossington-Collins Band. A decade after the plane crash, the surviving members of Skynyrd regrouped under the legendary name and played a series of dates to mark the anniversary with Johnnie Van Zant, the younger brother of Ronnie Van Zant, stepping in as his permanent replacement.

FLASHBACK: THE WHO RELEASE ‘QUADROPHENIA’

Posted in: Uncategorized

It was 36 years ago today (October 19th, 1973) that the Who released their second double album, the watershed 1973 collection, Quadrophenia. The set featured such classic Who songs as “The Real Me,” “5:15,” “I’m One,” “The Punk And The Godfather,” “Drowned,” “Sea And Sand,” and “Love Reign O’er Me,” among others. A film version based around the album was produced by the band and released in 1979.
For Quadrophenia, Pete Townshend created a song cycle chronicling the life of “Jimmy” — a pill-popping fashion conscious R&B loving “Mod” from London in the mid-’60s. The album focused on Jimmy’s battles with his parents, the mod nightlife, his demeaning office job, and the mods’ legendary beach rumbles against their cultural nemesis, the “Rockers.”

The character of Jimmy was supposed to represent the four facets of the Who: Keith Moon (insane), John Entwistle (romantic), Roger Daltrey (bad), and Townshend (good).
