Every Saturday WTIT: The Blog brings you a meme called Saturday 9. It’s not to say that this is a bright idea, but it is what we do. A woman named Crazy Sam started this meme because a prior popular Saturday meme specialist Lola had retired. So, Sam contacted all Lola’s participants and invited us to participate in her meme. Let’s begin!
Saturday 9: Someday We’ll Be Together
1. Have you ever left a relationship but knew that eventually you’d get back together? Really only once. I had a relationship after my first marriage where we constantly broke up and got back together. The 
reason was that she wanted kids and I had mine. The weird thing was that she didn’t have and motherly instincts at all. I remember one time watching her with a friends kids. She was awkward as hell. On our way home she said, “See how great I am with kids?” I was almost in shock. I had never seen a woman less adapted to kids. Before then, after then…I mean ever. So, trust me that I was not surprised when I ran into her a few years ago that she never married or had kids.
2. Are there things that you hate to buy? Items that you either hate to spend perfectly good money on or hate to spend the time it takes to buy them? I hate grocery shopping. So I do it online. But I still postpone it. Some people say there’s a woman to blame. But I know it’s my own damned fault.
3. What is your favorite cartoon show and why? Family Guy. A while ago when Kathy and I came home there was a blackout. I turned my laptop and went to Hulu to watch a show. I always say I hate adult cartoon shows. But when we turned it on. I loved it! But as the show started the cartoon family was in a blackout. It was also a Star Wars spoof. It was love at first sight. Oh, and as soon as that episode ended, the power came back on. But, I did love the show.
4. Are you anywhere close to doing what you wanted to do as a kid? No. I wanted to be a DJ. I got sidetracked for a variety of reasons. But as a kid? I became Bud Weiser around 10. It wasn’t till later in life that I realize that I got sidetracked along the way. I wanna own a fucking internet radio station. I miss being a DJ. Even more so, I miss programing the music. I’ve come up with a great playlist for my 260th Birthday Party. I’m not sure who is on that list.
5. Now that you’re in the “real world,” is your current job now really what you want to do for a living? If not, what would you ultimately like to do? I love my job saving my New England natives from Massachusetts from sobriety.
6. A local university has asked you to teach a class about the one thing you know the most about. What would you be teaching and what would the name of the course be? Radio 101. I could explain the important radio stuff. Such as never believe it when people say they are fans. And if your bosses are praising you they have an agenda. Figure it out.
7. Commercials … they can make us laugh or can annoy the heck out of us. Tell us about your favorite commercial and/or a commercial you simple loathe. I love every commercial that Diageo does.
8. Tell us about your favorite comedy movie of all time. This has been a “MOST REPEATED” question in a meme. This time I will go with Same Time Next Year. Alda in movies was at his best just acting. Although in M*A*S*H his control was totally the reason that the show lasted 11 years. But Alan and Ellen Burstyn with his focus on acting, In my opinion it’s his signature movie role.
9. Tell us about your favorite black and white movie of all time. Gees. This is easy. (No not because I am involved in Saturday 9 publishing.) Casablanca is my fave of all time, in any color. If you never seen it, shame on you. Sam, much better than last week. I thought we shoulda stopped posting ever. We’re back with Stealing.
Enjoy your weekend.
WTIT: The Blog will return tomorrow with
Judd Corizan and his Band helping me
Perform my 260th birthday playlist.
It has to be perfecto. As in the old days,
I was the last DJ, after all.
Join us for Sunday Stealing!
Same time. Same blog.
We’ll miss you Steve…

Ah, Casablanca is so great. The problems of those three little people really do stick with you, don't they?I'd love to sit through your radio class. For here in Chicago, we had two very, VERY influential DJs (Brandmeier and Steve Dahl) and now they're both on the sidelines because the business landscape has SO changed. There's still a demand for both men in Chicago, at least among the boomer demo, but (I suppose) no sustainable business model. The Stever has managed to maintain his rather rabid fanbase and is doing subscription podcasts but Johnny B is selling his house. I'd love to hear Prof. Bud's explanation of What Happened?
Gal-The most important measured audience is 18-34 or 25-54. Buy 50 advertisers believe that an add will not me change say soap. And they are correct. I was picked as a Nielson TV rating house recently. Until they found out my age. I was thanked abruptly and sent $3 as an "We're Sorry" money. My best guess is their audiences are too old.Also, radio stations can be owned in the hundreds. In it's hay day (before 1992) You could only own 7. So stations across the country are generic. That's why I have 13K songs on my iPod…
I hope to Cuervo that you're not buying margaritas on-line because it would be your own damn fault!
I wish I lived somewhere I could grocery shop online and have it delivered. That's just awesome.
