Thanks to producer Joe Christiano of NYC’s Q104.3 Jim Kerr morning show for sending along this MP3 clip of one of my posts being read on-air in that sonorous, morning disc jockey voice that for some reason always gets me giddy to hear the late Randy VanWarmer’s “Just When I Needed You Most.”
From 1978, yes. And no, don’t ask.
First!
TW: “first!”
No kidding, exclamation point and everything.
(Now just watch, somebody else will get a comment in just ahead of me.)
Dude, you just hit the bigtime. Now you’re maintstream though, which means you’re full of shit. Matter of fact, I think you’re scheduled to jump the ol’ shark here in the next few days. You’re practically nostalgia!
Jim Kerr.
Simple Minds?
Oh, and congratulations.
Woo, that’s cool.
Now where the Hell is my chiffon?!
Congrats – you’re famous!!!
Now, just sit back, and wait for the groupies to show up.
sw: They should be there within the hour
Roger Simon paid Kerr to do this, didn’t he, Jeff? DIDN’T HE?
J’ACCUSE.
Congrats Jeff!
That sound bite turned a light on in my head. SPOKEN WORD ALBUM! Consider a CD of you (or a cast of characters) reading chapters such as “Red Pills Found Under The Cushion†and “Brief Conversations With John Merrick.â€Â
Perhaps even a visual DVD? You in a smoking jacket with pipe in front of a crackling fire. Do you smell what I’m stepping in?
Wow. You know you are the sh*t when you are being quotd on NYC radio. You know you have hit rock bottom if that radio show is Stern on Sirius, so you are doing well!
Jim Kerr, a friend and neighbor (2 floors below), and a great guy. Small world.
Congrats on the mention, Jeff. Followed by “Paint it Black”?! You rock, man, you ROCK (!)
Haaaaaaaaa. How cool is that?
Hmm. Apparently it’s only somewhat cool, according to the spamword.
natesnake,
I like the spoken word CD idea. But, at least one track has to be “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” or “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins”.
It’s kinda a tradition.
What’s this we hear about William Shatner’s people talking to Jeff Goldstein’s people about ‘The Captain’ reading one of Jeff’s selections weekly for the still in the works Protein Wisdom Podcast from Dolphin in a Pea Coat productions, hmmmmmm?
Yeah, they’re free for lunch, babe.
I’m with Tom M. The coolest thing of all is that you’re the transition into “Paint It Black.”
