Some Of This and Some Of That

I had a phone call from Mike Wade, one of the most talented radio guys I ever had the privilege to work with. Mike is the voice of the excellent podcast, https://mikeonmic.com which deserves a listen. Mike reminded me that when we were both working Top 40 radio, we threw in an Oldie every so often.  He suggested that I revisit an older blog post occasionally, if it had another perspective of the post I was writing at the time.  After thinking about it for about 10 seconds, I realized that was a great idea. So, when I do that ever so often, I will call it a Second Look.

Today I have been thinking about all the celebrities and well-known people we have lost so far this year.  Betty White, Sydney Poitier, Bob Saget, Louie Anderson, and Meat Loaf to name a few.  People that we have loved and admired, and even though we probably didn’t know them personally, we are upset and grieve that they are no longer with us. That reminded me of another post I wrote many years ago about a well-known figure who had died that we didn’t morn.  In fact, the world was a better place now that he wasn’t breathing air anymore.  Here is a Second Look from Dec. 21, 2011.

ANOTHER DEAD DICTATOR

Evidently Kim Jong really was il.   Another in the long line of Kim Jongs is set to take over North Korea.  Kim Jong Il who succeeded Kim Jong Sick and of course before him were Kim Jong Pneumonia, Kim Jong Not Feeling Very Well, Kim Jong Just a Cold, Kim Jong Pretty Run Down and Kim Jong Runny Nose.  The schizophrenic in the family was Kim Jong I’m ok... no I’m not.

North Korea’s most inept ruler was Kim Jong Dubya.  The most flamboyant dresser was Kim Jong Gaddafi and the one most-full-of himself was Kim Jong Newt.  The one with the worst hairdo was Kim Jong The Don and the only one who loved Jesus was Kim Jong Tebow.

Kim Jong un will be the new dictator of North Korea.  I’m not sure what the un stands for but more than likely it’s either unconscious, unbalanced or unbearable.  The upside of this is that the successor wasn’t the daughter Kim Jong Palin.



Stay tuned for future adventures.
