Now only one Moody remains. John Lodge, bassist and vocalist of the Moody Blues, died this morning at 82 in England. A band I saw more than any other, eight times in total, his voice was unmistakable, and his bass playing was note-perfect. Only Justin Hayward remains. #music #RIP #rockandroll

Paddy Chayefsky tried to warn us with some help from Peter Finch back in the mid 70s. Performative Politics has overshadowed the nation.

Thank you sir! That was when my radio career ended as most of the jobs disappeared. I was lucky to have worked in DFW, San Antonio, and Austin for 20 years at only 4 stations. Besides radio consultants during the end of that period and I didn't get along at all! 22 year teacher middle school retired

Yes Sir! I was in the radio business at that time and was chilled to the bone when the Fairness Doctrine went away. Citizens United decision had the same feeling.

My thanks to Cindy in the Kent County Appraisal District Jayton Texas for her help in getting taxes paid on 2 city lots. The family has had these for 4 generations. A total property tax bill for 2025 of $1.18! Clairemont Texas...it's a ghost town in the West Texas Plains. #Texas

Walter Hyatt at the KZEP studios in San Antonio after our 90 minute interview. I miss you so much. Walter was aboard ValuJet Flight 592 to attend the graduation of his daughter. The plane caught fire shortly after takeoff and crashed, killing all 110 passengers and crew on board on May 11, 1996.

Larry Monroe said it best, "To this day, grown men still cry when they talk about Walter. Those who knew him for a short time still mourn because Walter Hyatt was truly the best among us." Walter Hyatt left us 29 years ago and there has been a hole in the universe since youtu.be/-scgoaG7P-4?...

Her spirit remains in the house with 3 of her children, Rocky, Johnny, and Paulie. She kept me going while rehabbing my knee replacement in the summer of 2020 as a stray. She demanded head scratches every day as I strolled slowly down the sidewalk. We were blessed to have her in our lives. #cats

I know it was the right thing to do but it didn't make the decision any easier. I could tell her pain was getting worse as the days progressed.
Last week we discovered that the Little Mama's body was being ravaged by 2 different types of cancer. She passed the rainbow bridge at 10:10 this morning.

Best class story 10 years ago..8th period was working the desks. Muddy Waters was on Bluesville. A young African-American man in the back asks, What kind of music is this? This is the blues, I proudly reply. He responds with, Can we change this cause I don't think black people listen to the blues!

xradiotx @xradiotx.bsky.social · Mar 5

Yes sir. I said exactly the same thing at his moronic statement. Turned it off...nothing but bovine excrement and lies.

They knew TASS was in the room no doubt...it was a performance for Putin. All they have is performance politics. It was a shameful display of how low American Diplomacy has fallen in the world. I did like Z telling Three Toes Green's boyfriend that he "would wear a costume when the war is over.
