I know Mr. DiPetro and I are praying for Dan dealing with his Multiple Sclerosis. Please know that Johnny and I are with him.
As Simon & Garfunkel sang, "Michigan seems like a dream to me now..."
RE Formicola: Let me know too?
(I'm working in the Raleigh market too.)
PS: Think gas is expensive in RI?
It's MORE here!

Joint, how's that "insida" tip of yours about Dan Yorke getting a female co-host coming along? ;D
And who's this "DiPetro" person?
Love this site!! So many wannabes who never were and will never be.......
In the words of a GREAT PD I used to know...
"Could we get back to radio?"
"Could we get back to radio?"

Makes sense. What else does Dave have to fill his day?
Playing interview man on RI's hokey comedy channel aka Capitol TV only goes so far.
What shocks me about Barber's situation is how his friend, the legend in his own mind Mr Holland Cooke can't get
poor Dave another radio gig. What with all those connections of his and all...
Shocking! ;D
"I'm SHOCKED...SHOCKED to learn that gambling is going on here!"
Hey, timing is everything.
THAT SAME DAY that WPRO's PD called me, looking for a Steve Kass replacement, I got another call.
And I recommended Dave for that other job too.
But WPRO snapped-him-up first.
That other job wasn't even radio-related.
It was in the academic field.
The position was Dean of The American Academy of Watch Repair.
Better-known as "Tick-Tock Tech."
As I said, "timing is everything."
And THIS timing is REALLY shocking: Here in Michigan, the sun doesn't set until 9PM, or later in summer!
This is as-far-east-as-you-can-get and still-be-in-the-Eastern Time Zone.
They golf AFTER DINNER here.
3 museum recommendations:
When you're here, in the Detroit area, you MUST "stop, in the name of love," at 2648 West Grand Boulevard, and see The Motown Museum:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c_KsSbOGkg
When-in-Cleveland, my next stop, and a great Red Sox-on-the-road destination, plan to spend an entire day at The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame & Museum. More than you're expecting.
Ditto for set-aside-an-entire-day in DC for Freedom Forum's Newseum, the museum of news, just re-opened in its palatial new Pennsylvania Avenue location. Read my review in next month's Talkers magazine. Meantime, read "Today's Front Page" from HUNDREDS of newpapers, from across the USA and around the world on their web site, every day: http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/default.asp

OOPS! Typo...
I MEANT to say "as far west..."
Occidental slip-of-the-tongue.
With all this talk about Joint-Chinese, I'm a little "disoriented."

Glass Houses...
Hmm, think you're confusing Dan with Jed Bartlett. Anyway, after checking out the Billy Joel concert down at Mohegan this past weekend, it reminded me how great the GLASS HOUSES record was...
Maybe JointChinese could ask Rebecca Crossnoe about that. Who's she, you ask?

Yeah.... but Cianci still has him beat by a mile. Probably closer to 100 miles. I found an article of my own. Another standup guy.. aye?
http://www.ramcigar.com/home/index....story_id=68358633-b095-4c82-b561-fa8415fb7155
Buddy Cianci has been one of Rhode Island's most famous - and infamous - political figures since his rise from obscurity to the Providence mayor's office in 1974. As documented in the film, Cianci is credited with overseeing the revitalization of Providence.
However, his 1984 conviction on charges of kidnapping and assault of a man who supposedly had an affair with his wife forced Cianci to resign.
Despite being a convicted felon, which Arnold's documentary points out would be a career killer for anyone else, Cianci regained public popularity with his own radio talk show and was reelected as mayor in 1991.
In 2001, after three years of investigation, Cianci was indicted on 27 charges, including racketeering, bribery and extortion. He was found guilty on only one count, conspiring to run a criminal organization, and is currently serving his 5-year prison sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, N.J. He is scheduled for release in 2007.
Sheesh. Tough room...
So much for "Can we get back to radio," eh?
Although I must admit...there's a seductive, episodic, quality to this.
We don't know WHAT will be said next...or, in most cases, WHO is-saying-it.
The anonymity most here enjoy makes ANYTHING-said-here consequence-free.
It's graffiti, in the purest sense.
Is it possible that the conversation HERE is more compelling that what's-on-the-air?
And even-more-intriguing that WHO Joint-Chinese might be...WHAT-the-heck does it mean?
Could it be...AN ANAGRAM?
Note that the-first-of 793 permutations (http://wordsmith.org/anagram/anagram.cgi?anagram=Joint+Chinese&t=1000) is "Niceties John."
Hmmm...
OK. I cheated, using a web anagram generator.
Dick Cavett can do these off-the-top-of-his-head!
Good afternoon from That Darned Michigan,

I wonder if Johnny gets a 1099 from Paul Masse? He claims to test drive a car. Is this in place of a talent fee? This is income! He better be paying taxes on this. The champion of all that is right, better be paying taxes.
NOW...NOW, it's all coming into crisp focus...

I don't think JD is the only Citadel employee to test drive a car. I heard Dan talking about a Dodge he was driving
from Elmwood Dodge.

"Pro Personalities are compensated for their appearances."
There's nothing wrong with test drives, if they're disclosed/disclaimed.
What-you're-describing-hearing-on-WPRO sounds like Sean Hannity's GM deal.
It's tantamount to a critic getting a free ticket to do a movie review.
Mentioning the dealer conveys that to the listener.

I JUST...JUST "got it."
For MONTHS, we've been seeing "Joint-Chinese" reply to various posts there.
And he/she DIDN'T mince words, right?
Consensus here is that JC is Dave Barber.
I had previously thought that "Joint-Chinese" was:
a.) a she, not a he; and
b.) a recent, not present, WPRO insider.
And, admittedly half-joking, I even posted ANAGRAMS for "Joint Chinese," which I ALWAYS thought was one funny name.
But it wasn't just funny.
It was "a time bomb."
I JUST "got it."
And, I admit it.
I'm a little embarrassed that I didn't crack-the-code until now.
APPLAUSE to both of you.
(No wonder everybody thought it was Dave Barber.)
That was one funny bit.
"Joint-Chinese!"
What a scream.
APPLAUSE!
And I think we've seen a demonstration of how-compelling this online "user-generated content" can be.
If only RADIO was as "episodic" as this running gag has been.
APPLAUSE to both of you.
"Joint-Chinese!"
What a scream.

PS: IN PROVIDENCE THIS WEEKEND, but under-the-radar: "Joey Pants," actor Joe Pantoliano, from "The Sopranos," and "The Fugitive." I sat next to him on a flight today. He says RI is "a GREAT state;" and said he'd be having dinner with the head of RI State Police tonight. THE STARS come here for Waterfire.
