His angst is just plain burnout. He was so intensely and passionately immersed in news and intelligent commentary that he needs the relief and fantasy of recorded music. If I were him I would be doing exactly that. But music on the radio is dying before our very ears as it caves to the practicality of personal, portable mobile media devices and aps. I wouldn't invest time or interest in radio as my source of anything but news or opinion.<br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10625820505449198808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-13283909255389374502014-05-03T05:38:27.173-07:002014-05-03T05:38:27.173-07:00Geeeze ease up a bit.Speak specifics Jim?

He didn't get to the specifics of your 30 some questions because the question that was posed to him probably went something like this"Hey Jim, how have you been, any thoughts on talk radio today and how is retirement treating you?" He thinks talk is dead because the idiots running things are incompetent and went on to tell how retirement is treating him. Always good to hear from Jim.Buck Millionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05091862951608468570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-60187994089817036332014-05-03T05:24:28.746-07:002014-05-03T05:24:28.746-07:00Jim Eason is my all time favorite.

We all know MTV dropped vids for the most part,but now I see that they have dropped music vids on VH1 and MT2. It used to be you could see "classic" 80's and 90's music vids on those last two. No more but for maybe an hour at some late hour. Do you know they can and do show re runs of 'Martin' ALL DAY long?..one after another. And reality shows I never heard of.<br />Its like even over 40 is a demographic not worth programming for. It used to be 60.Stan the Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12908178414036768306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-26712695218945245492014-05-02T12:39:56.225-07:002014-05-02T12:39:56.225-07:00If only Jim Eason would not "broad stroke&quo...If only Jim Eason would not "broad stroke" his comments and make it all about "him". I liked Eason and respect his opinion bitterness. However, rather than take up valuable reading space, how would Jim Eason address 1) horrid part-time and fill-in talent on KGO, KSFO, KKSF, KNEW? So much here sounds worse than backwoods North Carolina radio, let alone major market Bay Area. How about his feel on national talk? Savage, Limbaugh, Levin, etc.? He may not listen, but surely, he's aware of the goings on. How about the new crop of "call me up and put me on" fill-ins like Casey Bartholomew from New Jersey, Weintraub, Craft, Karel, Thurston and others who stink-up huge wattage former powerhouses like KGO? Speak specifics, Jim. The ABC, Citadel days are long over. Cumulus has proven its worth and its stripes. Talk show hosts don't have the power so many think they do. They are a number making more than they deserve. No one has discovered that "magic" and why AM is dead and programming on both AM and FM is dying. When people knock repetitive and boring KCBS is, you know there's trouble. Tell us more, not just about the "you" or just moving the chess pieces of "talent" around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-29542652807624175042014-05-02T12:09:38.596-07:002014-05-02T12:09:38.596-07:00Touchy-feely-self-esteemy..... one of my fave all-...Touchy-feely-self-esteemy..... one of my fave all-time Eason Lines.
