Brian Cosgrove knows what he's doing at WEHM. Station consistently sounds tight and focussed. Guy should program a huge radio station somewhere.

I think Stern should put his money where his mouth is and get Cosgrove a programming job at Sirius. That would qualify as a huge station to me !!!

EHM has been one of the strongest performers in the market since before the Riverhead book came into play. Brian is a strong programmer. I say this because he was smart enough to hire Joe Rock. I tried to get Joe for afternoons at The Bone, "it wasn't in the budget" at the time,then again when is it ever in the budget at the Bone? TMO's loss is EHM's gain!

Oh by the way, EricDavisEyes how do you know so much about my love for the Amish? I took the time to review your previous posts...very funny stuff! Nothing hotter than an milky white Amish babe. After long nights of rabbinical studies at Temple University in Philly, I'd roll to the Amish country in Lancaster to bag me an Amish Hottie. Those chicks would see me come up the road in my KIA and they would turn to buttermilk. (Thick & Lumpy?)

Things I Have Learned from the Amish


1. Sometimes you don’t need the things you “need.”

When I lived with the Amish, I got along quite well without radio, television, movies, electricity, etc. Farm work kept me busy and the family provided support, security, and satisfaction. In other words, I learned not to miss or want the things I knew I could not have, and to enjoy those that I did have.

2. Submitting doesn’t mean being inferior.

Being subordinate is important in Amish life…man is subordinate to God, women to men (this was huge!!! Great roleplay opportunities!), children to parents, students to teachers, etc. But this “submissiveness” does not mean being inferior. A student, for example, shows respect and submission to his teacher. But sometimes the student eventually outshines the teacher in knowledge or capability. At home, if husband and wife disagree, then someone must “give in,” otherwise discord follows.

3. Teamwork and humility have their place.

In American society, where individuality and competitiveness are so often stressed, it is sometimes difficult for people to work as a team. Even in sports, at times, individuals become more important than the group. Pride sometimes leads to boasting, selfishness, and even ruthlessness. Maybe that’s why we find Amish barn-raisings so fascinating. Perhaps the Amish attract our attention precisely because they don’t seem to want any.

4. To find satisfaction in the “routine.”

Many people have repetitive jobs. Doing a job just for the money rarely brings happiness, but some people have no choice. Sometimes the world seems downright unfair…until we meet someone less fortunate. You can be negative and gloomy, or upbeat and positive. No matter what we do, we should do it the best that we can. Here is one of my favorite Amish quotes from David Luthy, “A person’s devotion to an idea is not measured until the newness has worn off, until the challenge has lost its initial excitement, and the fun and glamour have faded. Then, when only the hard work remains --- the daily tasks, the mundane labor --- that is when a person’s commitment to a project is truly tested.”

5. To enjoy the simple things, quiet times, friends, family.

Certainly this is one of the most obvious things to say, yet true. Some of my fondest memories are of simply sitting and chatting with Amish friends. Recently I saw a commercial on TV that had an idea for promoting family unity --- plan to eat together once a week. ONCE a week! I guess for some American families once a week is an accomplishment.


6. That I don’t want to be Amish.

I have never wanted to be Amish. Partly, I admit, there are too many things of the world that I would not give up --- Radio,car, movies, music, Broadway Shows, travel, etc. Being Amish is much more than a lifestyle. The religion has a very distinct set of beliefs and practices, not all of which I could accept. But I respect and admire the Amish. They have enriched my life.

So yes it was true...I was Amish for 8 Months! I am not a Rabbi...but one could say I am "Pretty Fly for a Rabbi"

Later dude...oh and thanks for being my eyes!

I have to agree with you on this one eric. I always found EHM a strong station and Cosgrove is not only a good jock but a good programmer as well. I was also happy to hear Joe Rock show up in the afternoons there. I always found Joe to be a focused jock who knew how to inform and entertain while keeping the music as the star and stamping his personality on all he does. I was surprised at his move though. I heard him often at WBAB and figured he was in line for the night gig. They seemed to have gone automated when he left. I can only guess from your post he comes with a high price tag. If you ask me though he must be worth it.
