Over the recent weekend, Rock 104 celebrated its 15th anniversary. Concurrently, it was also my 14th year of association with the station. Looking back at it all, all I can say is — “WOW!” Over the last 14 years, I’ve met and worked with some amazing people, been to amazing places and, of course, have …

My Two Cents on Tiger
I’ve seen and heard Tiger Woods’ mea culpa in full three times now. These few sentences from today’s statement he issued have raised my eyebrows (and probably my blood pressure). “I ran straight through the boundaries that a married couple should live by. I thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to. I …
Starting To Feel Like A Monkey’s Uncle
In February of ’09, I was at a Super Bowl party at a local restaurant. A waitress was wearing Saints gear — and I specifically told her, “Darling, it’s going to be a cold day in Ecuador before they win a Super Bowl.” Well, they’re 120 minutes away from the Lombardi trophy. Fast forward to …
Remembering Remote Control and Ken Ober
(The following is cross-posted from DougMorris.net with additional personal notes.) For better or for worse — and many in the here and now would argue the latter — the game show Remote Control helped blaze the trial for non-music video programming on MTV.
What The (censored) Were They Thinking?
A disturbing story that hit home crossed the wires today.

But wait, it gets worse. The exhibit also had the likeness of a deceased …
Thumb’s Up To The SWAC
Like any other Southern Miss fan, I’m counting down to kickoff. But at the same time, I’m sure there will be heavy hearts on the other side of the ball come Saturday. The Eagles’ first opponent: Alcorn State — alma mater of the late Steve McNair. Word came today the powers-that-be in the Southwestern Athletic …
You Can’t Make This Stuff Up
The following is borderline NSFW.
Thanks For A Great Season, Fellas
OK, let’s get the obvious out of the way. To use an oft quoted line from a local dentist who competed on The Amazing Race, “Dagnabbit!” Certainly, this is not the way the Southern Miss baseball team wanted to end a storybook postseason – with two consecutive losses and eventual elimination from the College World …
What Might Have Been
On this May 28th, if Cindy were still with us, we’d be celebrating our fourth wedding anniversary today. Instead, it’s a commemoration at best. This is a good time to note what I say to my radio audience near the end of every RockTrax show. I’ve said this every week since her untimely passing. “Make …
Sorry, I Can’t Do Anything About The Fly In Your Soup
I’ve always wanted to do this: Be a celebrity waiter at Chesterfield’s for the annual Waiting For A Cure Foundation fundraiser. Here’s why: Close relatives and friends have fought the battle against breast cancer -– and won. Waiting For A Cure helps meet the needs of local breast cancer patients, survivors and their families. Please …
