ARE YOU SCARED ENOUGH????

Sorry to tell you darlings, but fear seems to be the controlling factor in today's world. Look at any source of news and fear is all you read, see, hear about and why, you ask? To keep you off track, to keep you stupid, to keep you away from the really important issues. The media, government, Madison Ave. all believe that fear works and I fear that they are right. But, my friends, they want us all to be fearful of the wrong things. Should we really spend energy fearing gays getting married? (I personally don't believe in marriage for anyone ... except as a punishment). Should we fear the morality choices of our elected officials showing their "stuff" on the internet? (How boring can you get, did you see it?) You need to go on a diet ... because fat is bad so we fear nobody will love a larger more voluptuous us. We're getting old, and we fear the loneliness that comes with ignorant and superficial people not caring about old people ... never fear, if they are lucky, they will get old too. I talk about issues like this and more on THE LUNCH & JUDY SHOW and my only fear is that you won't listen. Oh, there's much more ... original stories, tunes and celebrity interviews too!

WAR IS AN INABILITY TO COMMUNICATE

Did you ever notice little children playing in the school yard? When they were not understood and their needs were not met they used physical violence and hit somebody? Well folks, that happens a lot to adults that were not educated properly and can't communicate effectively enough to get themselves understood and then they hit too ... except when they hit it's with bullets and bombs. We have to get out of the stone age. When will school system recognize that perhaps the most important thing we can do is to give our children the tools they need to be able to communicate effectively in this ever changing world. In our country we not only have many different languages, but our CULTURES are so diverse that we need to teach effective speaking, listening and understanding of each others intentions. That's why I feel one way to go about bringing important information to our kids is that we should be showing foreign films in schools so that students see how other people live, and that those other people all want and need the same things as human beings on this earth, but they just do these things differently. Our students then will learn to RESPECT people of other nations. We can at least start there. Is that so far out of our imagination?

WOULD YOU MAKE A GOOD RADIO TALK SHOW HOST?

I've always said that if you build anything in your life, create some new business, whatever it is it has to be different from all the others or why do it at all? What makes what you have to offer special? I grew up listening to radio which was an entirely different medium then. It was not only the only gig in town (before television), but it's stars, of which there were many, came off as sincere and they were very entertaining, and we believed and looked up to them. Of course, we were a more trusting and simple world in so many ways back then in the naive '40's and '50's. I truly believe that people who enjoy radio today crave (even though they don't know it existed) more of the truth and optimism we had back then. On my talk show THE LUNCH & JUDY SHOW, everything I talk about, rant over, and write stories of is totally engulfed in my nostalgic truth. My next show #67 heard on http://pwrnradio.com is about censorship in America. So many people think that we live in a free country where you can say and do anything you want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone, but that concept is long gone.
