FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME!
Rolled in from the cottage last night and I shot a little video while I was up there so I'll make some time later on today to get it on the site for you guys to check out. Stay tuned....
Just got on email from the program director at the local college radio station and although they still won't give me my own radio show,it looks like they are willing to give me a fifteen minute spot on Thursday mornings to try me out I guess.
If I swallow my pride and say yes,I have to agree to get the radio spot approved each week before it goes on the air.I'm guessing they are still worried that I will do some dumb ass shit and get them in trouble with the CRTC or something like that.
Not to bring up the subject of being compared to Tom Green again but I have found that over the years it's often been the kiss of death for me.Lot's of times I've been denied access to events and functions ect.that would have been fun to shoot footage at because someone tells the person in charge that I am a Tom Green kinda guy and the person automatically thinks that I am going to do some crazy prank or try and piss a bunch of people off and shoot footage of it.The truth is that I've never done that kind of stuff and it sucks that people think I have.Being outrageous was something Tom Green did very well and if people think that's what my show is suppose to be like then no wonder they are disappointed and they don't like my show .
After all these years,I never ended up being outrageous or shocking enough for some people yet there are those who have always seemed concerned and worried that I might do something ridiculous and stupid which makes things like getting your own radio show, a real challenge.
This seems like a good topic for a radio show if you ask me(lol).Maybe Tom will come on the radio with me and talk about it some.I saw him on Much Music this morning while I was flipping through the channels so he must be in Toronto right now.
This all brings me back to what I was originally talking about here which was this radio spot.What do you think guys,should I just take what I can get or what?
Look forward to hearing from all of you!Later,
JR
