" You're a party with the lights down low,
You're my Friday night movie show,
Love Me Tender on the radio,
Just hold me tight and don't let go.
It's the smile on your face,
It's your style and your grace,
and that's why - that's why - I love you."
Andrew Gold
What a lovely pop lyric...what a terrific pop song. If you've never heard it try and dig up a copy of it.
A little ray of sunshine as brother Doug would say quoting
the unforgettable Count Frightenstein.
So I got thinking this morning, lying in my warm bed, rubbing the tummy of the ever present Ceiladh the Wonder Dog, how good life really is...Advertising is great industry of which to be
a part, radio is exciting, fast paced, and the two have allowed
me to pursue two major passions, music and golf..a little about the golf as we get closer to spring...I have been blessed having married a wonderful person ( who denies ever having been a victim of diminished capacities ) and having two healthy,
great young men as sons...Son Matt, the younger , who lives in
Fort McMurray, Alberta, called yesterday from Chile where
he is vacationing with his partner, the lovely Eliana...He's having a marvellous time, loving the experience, and revving up for the Chilean wedding they'll attend Saturday night.
Tyler, my eldest son, called asa well with exciting news.
He was going to have to change the dates of his upcoming trip to Cuba with his sweetie Jacqulyn...because the dates conflicted with the trip to the Dominican he was going on with
Xerox, the company for which he works...Nice problem to have....life in the family is good indeed.
Now..Mario..I'm sorry...your reaction to my first blog was a little extreme...hadn't been posted for even 24 hours..I suggested that you clean house - pay attention - allow Craig
Patrick to function as your Pittsburgh Penguins General
Manager...Now you're selling the team ?!?!?
If this medium is that powerful let's try this..
The CBC . Our esteemed public broadcaster.
As I age I mellow. I still can't imagine anyone listening to them
full time although I will grant you, on occasion, you can trip on a nugget that is worthy. But at what cost !?!
It is absolutely no wonder this country has financial problems.
If ever there was on-going proof of government mismanagement and fiscal irresponsibility - the CBC is it ! In
spades. How this country can justify more than one radio
signal per official language and more than one French and one
English TV channel is beyond all conscience.
Is the CBC's original mandate not to tie this great country
together - coast to coast ? Then explain to me if you will why
our tax dollars are being spent to broadcast "The Simpsons"
at five o'clock in the afternoon. Is five o'clock in the afternoon
not prime viewing time for youngsters. What a wonderful
vehicle for instilling national pride and a sense of our unique
culture..The Simpsons...BALLS !!!
Note to Stephen Harper...you can seal my vote with a promise
to butcher the CBC and trim it back to something akin to a bearable burden. Note to Paul Martin...don't bother because
your party has already proven it cannot be trusted. I don't dare leave the milk bottles on the stoop these days for fear a Liberal might happen by. I can't imagine they are all like that
but how could you ever find out ?
I've rambled on long enough...I will leave my feelings about
the CRTC for another day.
Advertising Tip of the Day....from Roy Williams, the Wizard of Ads.. # 3 of the 12 Most Common Mistakes Thbat Advertisers Make:
Business owners are uniquely unqualified to know how to
reach their customer. Know what the customer needs.
Til next time - Hittem Long and Hittem straight.
