Get With The Deal Or Retire

I heard a lawyer who specialized in technology say to older lawyers not well versed in email evidence and other modern legal issues to go ahead and just retire.

Heard that they may just give all the kids laptops and get rid of the books at one area school system. My truck tells how it feels to OnStar once month, and they send me an email on how my truck is feeling.

As Waylon gets the first Platinum Mastertone ringtone designation for his "Dukes of Hazzard" theme, and I watched the third episode of "The F.B.I." for free on my computer (in2tv on AOL Google that you will find it -- amazing!), high technology engulfs us.

Did you see where NBC-Universal got in bed with News Corp. ( Fox) and created a YouTube competition this week? Local radio and TV better figure out a way to get in this game, or it is doomsday!

This All Access publication is so popular, is free and is so up to date. Who waits for a weekly print trade any more? The thought seems prehistoric.

All this CRS talk about Bon Jovi is off the point. If radio doesn't figure out a way to be more than a jukebox, it will very soon become totally irrelevant.

You car will soon get traffic and weather reports. It can already take in more music than you could ever need from XM/Sirius. All that's left are the voices, the non-music content. Howard Stern and other morning voices are the reason people tune in, not because the station has the latest Bon Jovi country record. People had better stay focused and keep the eye on the goal line.

The music is the same at station A and B. How you present it tells the tale.

That is all so kindergarten but must be said. The mouse chases the cheese. The cheese is gone, and the mouse dies unless he can find a new source of cheese. Waiting for the old cheese will lead you to death.

Tim McGraw's new CD will be exciting for some this week. Idol's final 10 will get people stirred up again. Billy Ray surviving or dying on "Dancing With The Stars" will get the talk smoking. People talk ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE. Not about music that much.

Spring Breaks are pretty much over. I didn't have XM last weekend in Miami and was stuck with South Florida radio. With the exception of the AM talk, what a sleepy bunch of stations. The most high-rise buildings under construction going on than any place in the free or not so free world.

Allergy pills are making me sleepy. Spring is here and thus a new ratings period. Make the music seem exciting and grow some stars.
