A serious question....

Ok, so it's a Saturday afternoon around 2pm....you are walking down Cooper Ave. looking for a cup o' Joe when an ALIEN SPACECRAFT lands in fron of you. Nothing too out of line for midtown. So there you are, standing outside of this space craft from a different galaxy, jaw dropped, coffee in hand. A door opens, and a greenish/blue hue light emits from within the craft. A ramp slides out to the ground making a sort of draw bridge type connection between the ship and Earth. Out comes a giant being, 7 maybe 8 feet in height. 'He' has about 14 eyeballs growing out of what appear to be spatulas from the 'head'. This guy has three arms that have 2 elbows each, and hands that consist entirely of opposable thumbs. A real forse to be reckoned with.
He glides up to you(no feet he runs on a cloud that smells like pancakes) and asks you in a very broken yet understandable english,"Please describe to me in 25 words or less what radio broadcasting means to you"

Aliens ask the funniest questions. You may offer him the coffee.
 
I'd fire up a doobie and ask him "Have you ever heard the long version of Alice's Resturaunt?"
 
I realize that My Comment is reguarding Jackson Radio and some people may want me on a differnt board, but I paraphrase the late great Rusty Mac.

"Radio is not about having the best ratings or making the most money, Radio is a tool and you measure your greatness by how many people you use that tool to help"


that's not an exact quote, but it's close....
 
"Alien Eats J-Rod"

He asked for 25 words or less. You wrote 30. Therefore, you did not comply....

Alien asks...'what is a doobie?'

Alices Restaurant...great song
 
The alien must have used a different college than I did...

Many, many five hundred word papers turned back saying that Words under 2 letters and the word "the" don't count...

anyway... I still stand by the answer (maybe later I can shoot a whole out of the aliens stomach ala Tommy Lee Jones)
 
First after I smack myself a few times to realize what the hell is going on...

I'd respond "Radio's a GIG where you're worked hard and paid poorly only to advance few feet forward, & the future is grim"


20 words :)
 
Manipulating electromagnetic and electrostatic energy with frequencies ranging between audible and visible parameters with the task of luring carbon life forms to buy stuff, Jack.
 
Leave it to my dear friend Rob Grayson, who always makes too much sense. Especially for many of those in the broadcasting business today. Reminds me of a quote from a former colleague...

"Radio is like running a race with no finish line...and loving every minute of it."

Unfortunately, it appears a lot of those in decision making positions in radio (and television for that matter) are having trouble with the starting line, the finish line and damn near everything in between.
 
Wow, Rob...
That certainly took a moment.
Let me just say...

I especially enjoyed the "Jack" at the end.
Not only did that meet the word requirement, but it served as quite an excellent exclaimation point!

(Whoa! that was 25 words, too!)

I am reminded of a short monologue from one of my favorite Bill Murray movies...(Stripes)
"That's a fact, Jack!" ;D
