Playlist Notes: Imus Jazz / R&B Bumpers have established a recurring Imus In The Morning signature over the course of his broadcast career. The Bumpers are used to intro and outro commercial breaks and program segments. Often instrumental pieces are used as a bed for Imus “live read” commercials.
Full play versions of the bumpers can be found at the iMus iTunes iMix ”Imus R&B/Jazz Bumpers” Playlist where you can listen to clips and purchase downloads.
Imus brought up the Pacman discussion. Gregory quickly interrupted saying; Wait, wait, wait, don’t do this. Let me say it first.. From there Gregory took control of the discussion.
Gregory had no idea who Pacman Jones is, claiming he does not read the sports pages. Instinctively he knew Imus’ “What race is he” was not a blind question. Gregory pointed to use of facetiousness in comedy which helps you get to the next point. His opinion? All Imus was talking about is racial profiling.
Gregory also counseled, there are people out there who hold Imus responsible for past deeds. Point? There is a group who are not going to believe a white man is going to talk about racial profiling.
Dick Gregory’s conclusion- “There’s some serious stuff out here and I’m satisfied.. I would be the first one to call it out if I thought it wrong, cause I don’t have to play nobody.
Not Quite, WABC & Citadel VP Phil Boyce Backs Imus
WABC and Citadel Broadcasting Corp. Vice President Phil Boyce said Imus would be explaining his comments on his Tuesday morning show and it was unlikely the broadcasters would take disciplinary action against him.
Boyce said Imus had explained his words in a private conversation Monday afternoon and the explanation was satisfactory.
“I think some people may be misunderstanding what he meant,” said Boyce
Since we were all accused of being Marxists over here (even a Bourgeoisie running dog capitaist pig like ChanX (just kiding buddy, you know the proletariat loves you)) I thought I’d post the most recent E-mail I received from Comrade, errrr…I mean, ahem, Senator Sanders of Vermont.
The Collapse of the Middle Class, Letters from Vermont and America – 06/06/2008
By Senator Bernard Sanders
The official unemployment rate in the United States surged to 5.5 percent last month, the Labor Department announced this morning. The biggest increase in more than two decades will be on the front pages of the Saturday newspapers. Statistics are one thing. Real life is another. Continue Reading »
For Thursday’s final hour Bernie, Mark and Warner go to the phones. Bernie discloses the Cardinal will be back! Then mayhem ensues. Entertaining but we are reminded why Imus does not take calls.
Laura Ingraham appears on Imus. They discuss her radio show, Dennis Miller Highlights, Hilary Campaign, the media, Hilary as a possible VEEP, the race factor in this election and more. Good interview, Laura provides excellent perspective, is insightful and a fun guest. Also, a link to “Miller Time!”
ChanX CliffsNotes
Luara Ingraham, Talkers Magazine Woman of the Year
What’s up with the radio gig? Laura Ingraham currently not doing her radio show due to contractual issues, which she cannot discuss due to contract concerns. She did not walk off the show, her health is fine, not family related and can’t wait to get back on the air. Of course Imus loves fighting with radio station people. Loves to make their lives miserable, guys like Steve Borneman and Mitch Dolan to name two. Continue Reading »
Just last week Imus was congratulating WABC and RFD Engineering for the fantastic job they are doing broadcasting from the Ranch. Well of course gremlins came rushing to the scene, fouling the broadcast! Imus rescheduled guests - but the show must go on. Imus continued in improvisation mode along with Charles and Bernie, riding Lou hard to the end. Oh yeah, Rob Karith and Tony jumped in as well.
The problem was isolated to a telephone connection. Here’s pretty much how the call went as the phone company relegated IITM to 7th position in the maintenance queue..
Ernestine: A gracious hello. Here at the Phone Company, we handle eighty-four billion calls a year. Serving everyone from presidents and kings to the scum of the earth. So, we realize that, every so often, you can’t get an operator, or for no apparent reason your phone goes out of order, or perhaps you get charged for a call you didn’t make. We don’t care!
