I almost got into a fight at work last friday night, because an eminem reject came up complaining that I wasn't playing enough "hip hop". Even though, I had been playing rap about 90% of the night, that still wasn't enough. The this 19 year old kid, proceeded to tell me, how bad I "suck", even though I've been doing this job since 1995.
This is not the first time I've had an incident like this, not even the twentieth! And that's not counting my band experiences. I've been in entertainment all my working life, so booing, objects thrown, curse words, name calling, I've had it all thrown my way. And you are right, they can't complain when these players have no loyalty. It's all part of the business side of things. But like I said, I can't complain either. These monkeys have paid my bills for the past 15 years! |

You know back on SR, there's a guy called JoeOKC, whos a strip club DJ. I tried to get him to come to houston and do traffic with me. Funny, but I have 25+ yrs of radio, but could not get hired by a strip bar -- radio delivery isnt compatable---weird, huh? I'm one of the few guys who likes weddings. I dont do schools, house party's, etc. & too old for clubs-- havent listened to music since '94--I know that sounds crazy. I have current songs, and play them, but nostalgia sells in my biz---and not just cheesy stuff. (I dont play YMCA, unless you ask for it.) It works--- Im H-town's most requested wedding guy. So you're at DeJa Vu in SF. Cool, I have cousins in the Bay Area. I'll send em your way. You have my support & praise too, brother. I've had hecklers, crashers, fighting mothers, broken bones, FIRES, and one place a knife thrown at me. I cant imagine doing anything else on Sat night. If you ever need to move, theres tons of work in Houston. |

Re: Charles Grant mad at Saints fans!
Yeah, I've heard that about radio djs, but the funny thing is, that I was a radio dj for a while, when I lived in Alabama, and Mississippi. So go figure. I think it just depends on the club itself.
I have been asked to do weddings, bday parties, retirement parties, you name it, but I do well enough where I don't have too. I have the equipment, but I just haven't done it. I need a new laptop big time. Sounds like your doing well my friend, that's great. As far as moving goes, from your lips to Gods ears. I've been trying to get the hell out of Cali for five years. I like Houston, and could see my self living there. My dream is to get to New Orleans. Where I've wanted to live my entire life, but just havent' been able to make it happen. That way, I can work, and get my Saints season tickets! |

As for Houston--- its a reasonable drive to New Orleans, I do it nearly every home game--- and there are a thousand or so of us who do it, so you'd be part of the I-10 Caravan. |

Re: Charles Grant mad at Saints fans!
No paid radio gigs in MS. I was an intern at MSU's college radio station in 93-94. WMSV. Then I moved to Muscle Shoals Alabama, worked at an a.m. talk station. Worked for Benny Carle, and Benji Carle his son.
I read about the I-10 caravan. Sounds like fun. I just gotta get the money to move, and have a job waiting before I can leave. My mom told me that in Mississippi jobs are impossible to find. |
