And those were his exact words when he handed me this CD. He was particularly excited about the Scissor Sisters’ version of Pink Floyd’s "Comfortably Numb" which at that point had not hit the masses yet. I don’t know how he did, but Dave always could find nuggets of goodness way before anyone else. As he cued the tune up on the above pictured CD that is this week’s show, he turned to me with a fiendish grin and said, "You are gonna love this." And as always, he was right. I totally loved it. This past Wednesday, David Castleman passed away after a long bout with melanoma. He was my friend, confidant, and comrade and my world would not have been as funny, interesting, or gloriously profane without him in it. It really is hard for those of us that loved him to think of this world without him in it. I knew his situation was bleak when he was diagnosed with terminal cancer about a year and a half ago, but as f****d up as this sounds, I thought he was being over dramatic. He had beaten cancer twice before so why would this time be any different? Sadly, that was not the case. In the words of one of our favorite authors Charles Bukowski, "The gods play no favorites." To give you an idea of the type of relationship we had, a coupla of months ago he came to town with his family, and we were hanging out at a friends house with a bunch of people for a pot luck. As always, Dave, despite being in debilitating physical pain, was holding court while filling up a friend’s hard drive with music (this was something he always did; he was always turning people onto books, movies, and music). As the evening progressed, Dave got up from his comfy spot on the one-man sofa and an acquaintance of ours took over his spot in his absence. When he came back into the room and found his spot taken, he asked her to move. Not knowing the direness of his physical situation, the woman reluctantly relinquished the sofa with a touch of subtle but obvious annoyance. "What’s wrong with you, David?" she said as she got up. Without hesitating, he answered bluntly, "I have terminal cancer." When he said it, the whole room stopped. Up until that point, the mood had been light and airy as those of us close to him tried to keep reality at bay, but now, the ugly reality of his situation was exposed. As the room resonated with a deafening silence, from the other room, I did what I always did when David spoke with his distinctive candor. I burst out laughing. And I’m not talking about a mere chuckle or two; I was convulsing in laughter, which delighted him greatly. The outburst broke the silence and eventually the party (as well as the mortified woman) carried on while the two of us giggled like children. "You have terminal cancer" I said still giggling. "I know; that means I

Farnsworth, inventor of television, we'd still be eating frozen radio dinners.Doug Coupland I like doing radio because it's so intimate. The moment people hear your voice, you're inside there heads, not only that, you're in there laying eggs.Fran Lebowitz Radio news is bearable. This is due to the fact that while the news is being broadcast, the disk jockey is not allowed to talk.Charles Stanley We're enlarging in every single area of the ministry at In Touch. We're on radio and television. We're in over 110 million homes in America plus radio on satellites. We just acquired the NAMB FamilyNet television network, and with that expanding possibilities of the gospel.Sting I made two movies before The Police had a hit record: I did Quadrophenia and a film called Radio On.Donny Osmond You always draw from your roots. I'm influenced by everything I hear and see, and that includes music today, but obviously I go back to my early influences: Stevie Wonder, Parliament, Earth, Wind & Fire, Ohio Players, Average White Band. Those kind of artists are what I look to. When I hear that stuff on the radio, I turn it up!Jason Mraz When I was in high school, The Dave Matthews Band was a local band, and that was the first time I was starting to connect with a live band that was something that wasn't on the radio or TV.Kenny Chesney I'm running a radio station.Joe Strummer I think we're going to have to forget about the radio and just go back to word of mouth.— ∮∮∮ — Here are some shows I’m hustling at Balliceaux this week...
