About Me

Contact TablesProfile Edited by MPS MySpace Editor 2.0I'M AN ALTERNATIVE MUSIC RADIO LEGEND, HAVING BEEN INVOLVED WITH POST-MODERN MUSIC SINCE 4 EVER... ((My entire bio can be found @ www.theedgefest2008.com) UPDATE EDGE CHILDREN: my new alt. music show,THE EDGE, RE-DEBUTS SUNDAY NIGHT, FEBRUARY 11TH, '07, 10PM-2AM (cst)HERE IN 'THE HAM' ON 99.5, 100,000 WATT WZRR, ROCK 99... WZRR: BIRMINGHAM, TUSCALOOSA, GADSDEN , HUNTSVILLE, ANNISTON, CULLMAN, ETC...THIS IS OUR 20TH YEAR ON THE AIR IN THE SOUTHEAST, BTW...AND WE'RE STREAMING LIVE NOW!I LIKE...rural atmospheres, southern graveyards, deep dark woods, sleeping, people who treat the janitor no different than they treat the CEO; people who are aware enough to know that religion is just a spiritual preference and NOBODY is right or wrong...non-snobs, non- dicks, non- prima donnas. people who are dark and brooding, but NOT miserable ppl; it is possible to separate the three---I do ! I like horror movies and like to see attractive women tortured somma; sorry, I do... BTW, ALL DUDES DO, (and most women do too!) but we all have to hide that most of the time; except in our choice of HORROR MOVIES, which is why they do so well; ever wonder why horror movies with men being stabbed and shit NEVER do much box office, but with women as the potential victims, the same plot-lines do huge box office ? It's because one is sexy, and the other NOT... I'll let you sort out which is which ! It's also why KING KONG did real good in the 1930's; check out FAY WRAY for ultimate damsel in distress-ness!dislikes:arrogant, self important, pretentious posers who think they gotta be seen in the right clubs with the right ppl or they won't be happening or totally down with it...let me tell ya, if ya think THAT WAY, you're already a putz and a loser and NOT in any way sick--- not in the good sense; and I don't mind SCENESTERS if that's truly their calling, but posers within the scene are pretty pathetic.. I dislike rude people...I dislike people who have NO APPRECIATION OR REVERENCE FOR ANYONE'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS; a good example would be people who routinely call THE CLINTONS scumbags, as if it's THE CLINTONS who have done nothing with their lives, while these same people go to work at the 7/11 and spend the weekend drinking beer and jerking off in the attic...all good and essential things, by the way, as long as you're NOT dissing other people who have more elevated goals than you in your off time... and I know I diss Bush, but he IS an idiot and a crook, so that's a little different. :)I also dislike people who say they're gonna do shit and don't-- and I KNOW these days every one is pretty random, but it is still annoying to someone like me whose word is my bond...very old skool, I know... I also dislike research groups of any kind, and now that I think of it, clubs of any kind AT ALL.. I am about as anti-club as one can be; for whatever reason I have NEVER had any desire to be accepted by a bunch of preening pricks who are my peers at a country club, or anywhere else, including broadcasting... I believe this is because I KNOW WHO I AM and so I don't need anyone--OTHER THAN ME--to valid my worth. or, it could just be that I don't like people in general cuz they're pricks... hey, I think it IS pretty much the latter... basically, if ya want to know my world view, watch any GEORGE CARLIN HBO special from about 1998 onwards; GC just nails me better than I ever could express myself. George basically had no tolerance for bull-shitters, pricks, dumbasses, posers and people's inane little priorities that drive them from morning until night; basically he, and I, are anti-social in a major way... although with me, I'll always try to give people the benefit of the doubt until they hang themselves, which is usually done within a couple of minutes.about me: I hardly sleep, although I love sleep; insomnia is me... I like sexy looking bee-yotches--but think few bee-yotches are really sexy looking... I have a basic rule: I will not sleep with any one unless they are HOTTER than my wifey to me; so I don't do that much; she has the same rule, which in reverse, don't work as well !!!! ... hahahahaha! PPL think I am a prick and WILL DISS THEM for simply being in my line of sight---NOT TRUE: I NEVER diss unless dissed first and I am very approachable and nice--- until you piss me off by disrespecting or just being stupid, and then, I am pretty much a mean mutha-fucker....just ask my detractors.okay..now rumors about coyote J --I will now affirm or debunk:1) I used to rule a satanic cult of teen girls in the 80's : NOT TRUE..2) I broke my hand on someone's face who called my wife a whore: TRUE3) I've used rock n roll to nail chicks: duh...4) I threw a CHAIR AT SCOTT BOHANNON and chased him into the parking lot with a hammer: TRUE.5) I was once fired on the air in the middle of my show: TRUE..6) I was fired a bunch more times OFF THE AIR: TRUE..7) I threatened to kill a co-worker: TRUE...many times; when I negotiated my last contract I told Davis H if he was effin with me-- ' I'd stab him.'

Heroes:

My lone hero was from when I was a little boy: Mets/Cub outfielder Jim Hickman; not a great ball player, but on these teams, he was the best, or close. I also was a big fan of Dave Kingman: 6'8 KING KONG, who hit over 400 homeruns (442),and hit many tape measure shots of 500 ft. or more, WITHOUT STEROIDS. Kingman either hit a ball outta sight, or struck out. He has to be the only player in MAJOR LEAGUE HISTORY who drove in 100 runs while batting a sad .200 (.204, 1982). and KONG was the second greatest in on-field brawls, bested by only Ray Knight. third runner up: Tim Foli .
