Radio Happy Hour:

Brad Thor, from Michigan Avenue Magazine

#1 New York Times bestselling author Brad Thor celebrates the launch of his new thriller, The Apostle on this week’s show.

Thor, who is known for his high octane, page turners featuring ex-Navy Seal Scot Harvath, traveled to Afghanistan to give The Apostle a ripped from the headlines authenticity.

We’ll hear about what he saw and experienced in the war zone, whether he plans on running for political office in the near future and what’s taking Hollywood so long to adapt his books into movies.

Maybe the promo spot for The Apostle will light a fire under Hollywood producers:

The Steps are: Will Thompson (vocals & guitar), Sam Thompson (lead guitar), Stephen Ross (bass), Z Lynch (drums).

In 2005, the Austin, TX based band took flight “on a journey to bring a classic sound back to modern rock.”

They’ve done it and Will Thompson will tell us all about it.

Dr. Blogstein, Vinny Bond and Justin the Mouthinator play clips from the many times the Radio Happy Hour discussed “The King of Pop,” Michael Jackson.

We hear from Dangerous Lee, Corey Feldman, and TruDog AKA “Notorious Homo Thug”

Michael Joseph Jackson 1958-2009

One of my senior photos from 1993

Michael was more to me than a great entertainer. He was the love of my life. I truly loved him as a person. I understood him. Those that know me and know me well know where I am coming from, but let me explain a little for those that don’t.

Besides my grandfather, Michael was the only constant male figure in my life growing up. I thought he was beautiful and I loved to watch him move. My mother took me to see The Wiz at age 2, took me to his concerts as early as age 4, bought his music for me, and I fell in love with him over the years.

Michael taught me to love everyone no matter what race, creed, color, or religion. He taught me to care for our planet and to have compassion for those that were ill. He also kept me from getting involved with boys at an early age because I was so devoted to him.

Michael was a beautiful person in every way to me; so sweet, kind, and giving. Even in the end he wanted to give more of himself to us by performing when, in my opinion, he should of been enjoying his life without performing and raising his children. I do understand that Michael wanted to come back one last time to prove that he is the best and leave a greater legacy that would overshadow his plastic surgery, debt, or molestation allegations, but he never needed to prove anything to me.

Did I ever question the allegations and wonder if Mike was capable of such a thing? Of course I did! I didn’t see Michael as a God or a perfect entity. I saw him as a human being with flaws like the rest of us. Loving Michael does not make a person go insane, become dumb, or unable to see the truth. I saw through the BS of the allegations and fortunately so did a jury of his peers.

Over the years as I have become an adult my “obsession” for him has toned down, but I always loved and supported him. I never believed the hype when it came to him being weird, bizarre, or a child molester. As a survivor of child sexual abuse I do not support anyone that I believe has been involved in that type of behavior.

I am in disbelief, confused, numb, heartbroken, sad…words cannot express what I really feel. Michael was my family. He was and will always be a major part of who I am. I suppose he can rest now and perform forever in heaven or where ever we go when we leave this earth.

I give my love and support to his family and fans all around the world.

PhilPutnam

As the fat, girly kid in an athlete’s world, Phil Putnam rode the bench and read his books while his brain got bigger and his pride shrunk smaller. With the onset of Tourette’s Syndrome at age 9 and no solid music experience until high school, he was the clear long shot for a career in music.

His ambition, however, having all the subtlety of a teenager on prom night, never let up. He studied singing through high school and discovered a shockingly strong talent in piano when he taught himself to play in college. It wasn’t long before he combined his fresh musical skills with a lifelong love of writing and was introduced to his future.

We celebrate Vinny Bond’s birthday by playing a game of “Am I Older Than Vinny?”

Bittersweet: Dangerous Lee’s Last BlogTalkRadio Show

Originally published May 29th

By: Deb Ng

When I began working for BlogTalkRadio last year, one of the first happy anniversary posts I wrote was for Dangerous Lee. Now, almost exactly  a year later, I’m writing about Dangerous Lee again, only this time it’s bittersweet. Dangerous Lee is taking a hiatus from hosting her own BlogTalkRadio show. Tonight at 8:00, she offers her swan song.

As a writer, no one understands Dangerous Lee’s reason for leaving more than me. Writing is her passion too and she’s taking some time for herself and for her writing. “I suppose it’s been a long time coming.” She told me. “I have done the show for two straight years without a break and quite frankly I need one. I love writing. It’s my passion. And, after trying to get noticed by publishers without any luck it’s time for me to take control and make it happen for myself.” Honey, I hear that. Though she’s vague with the details, Dangerous Lee tells us she is writing a book filled with fictional short stories.

Dangerous Lee has many fond memories of her two years as weekly radio host for BlogTalkRadio and it’s hard for her to pinpoint a favorite moment. “Oh wow! There are so many.” She responded after I asked her to nail down a memory. “I can’t think of any that stick out more than others. It’s been a crazy ride with lots of twists and turns. I’ve had a ball!”

Though it’s sad that we won’t be listening to the Dangerous Lee show every Friday night, you can be assured she’ll still be around. “I will still be a part of The Radio Happy Hour every Tuesday night at 9pm. It’s the #1 comedy show on the network. I’d be a fool to leave Dr. Blogstein and Vinny all alone.” We agree. Some folks need a little supervision.

When asked if she had any final words for her listeners and the BlogTalkRadio community Dangerous Lee responded,”Thanks for listening. Thanks for the love and the support. I’ll miss you!”

We’re going to miss you too!

Ask Dangerous Lee – June 3, 2009

Q: Why is it so difficult for some journalists to refer to Barack Obama as President Obama?

-BlackFire40

A: It’s difficult because they’re expected to do something that they didn’t always do for our last president. Perhaps I just never noticed but journalists called President Bush, Bush, didn’t they? I know I called him Bush. I never threw in President at the beginning. It wasn’t because I disrespected him; I didn’t love him either, but it was because it was faster to say. I don’t have time to call him by his title. He’s not standing right in front of me with his agents demanding my respect. Besides, when you say Obama everyone knows who and what he is.

I think we as Black folks are expecting way too much from the media. We expect instant respect and change in everyone just because a man with melanin is in the White House. Don’t get me wrong, he deserves respect, but when he is simply being called Obama I don’t believe he is being disrespected.

I tend to liken it to feeling a sense of closeness to President Obama when I simply call him Obama. Ya know, like “Obama is my Homeboy”. OK, that was wack, but you see my point, right? Anyway, when I hear people refer to him in a certain tone as President Barack  Hussein Obama that tends to leave a bad taste in my mouth because it implies that he’s the enemy. However, that is his full name, so maybe I am tripping too.

Got questions?
