They say with risk comes great reward. some of the time. This time the reward became almost unimaginable. And, some of the most fun and memorable times of my life being on the show with you back in the day @thekevinryder and @clydetombaugh.

On a perfect warm summer night in the desert, on the edge of town overlooking Reno, I launched my career on the radio here. Happy National Radio Day! There was nothing like radio for a very long time. It was just magic to be part of it and to listen to it. #nationalradioday

and, we really wanted to be able to play "Enter Sandman" from Metallica, I think we did play it a couple of times, but it didn't fit KROQ's format. We really wanted it to work and loved it. Same with Guns N' Roses.

HDNet was the 1st all High Def network we created in 2001. Everyone thought we were insane. It was when HDTVs were 20k or more each. I went to all the broadcast networks to try to get them to partner with us. I remember being at Fox HQ and they put up 3, 27" 480P.

I love this so much. I remember the first day I walked into @kroq and met @richardblade I thought is this guy for real? And you know what? He was and still is. Long overdue. One of the greats and a truly great human being. Congratulations Richard!.

Congratulations to the radio legend, @richardblade on his @WalkofFameStar ceremony today. For years I accused him of faking his accent. Now he’s got the whole world fooled. 😂

A new chapter for REVOLT begins today, and I’m proud to be part of this employee ownership group. It’s these employees who have taken my dream to extraordinary heights, and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here. With gratitude.

Many years ago, long before I was head of programming at MTV and VH1, I had a short stint as a VJ on a low budget competitor to VH1. @joeycohn hired me, and became a good friend. To a great career you've had, and to a happy retirement. Well played!

Interesting that none of the listeners noticed. the general manager of WJLX, said his landscaper had been doing a cleanup of the property Friday when the crew discovered the tower was gone.
