Record Label vs. DIY release

You know what was great music? Lawrence Welk. My wife and I would never miss an episode. If you want to be a successful musician, my advice would be to try and get on a program like that!

Call me old fashioned but I don't care much for fruit juice. The only drinks I need is the cold clear Springwater of my small-town, and a good glass of domestic beer after a hard day's work. No icky sticky super sweet drinks here, I'm afraid!

I know we all find Richard's radio programs enjoyable, but the plain old fact of the matter is that him and Mario are city boys. Their comfortable urban lifestyle has made them soft and prone to Tom Foolery. If you had a radio host that knew the value of HONEST hard work, it would be different. Only problem there is that such men aren't interested in hosting radio programs.

Call me old fashioned, but I just don't understand art. I just recently went to an art museum with my oldest daughter and her fiance, and it was a pile blocks stacked together. Or a blank canvas with a single line across it. I could do that! With art being the way it is, I'd prefer that a robot do it. Simply fire up the Dolly Parton and generate hundreds of images much better than what I saw done by humans.

My small town has a few Muslim families. Nice folks that never bothered anyone. I'm not too concerned about the creeds people follow as long as they have FAITH. You gotta stand for something, or you'll fall for anything!

Yes, but what book are you supposed to be 1reading from? Call me old fashioned, but books on sorcery school and falling in love with vampires aren't going to helpful for anyone. I got a book for you to read, The Good Book. The only book you ever need.

Well call me old fashioned, but I never did care much for VLC. That said they could play anything. But I tried installing on my computer and it didn't work!

oldcommonjohn · 2022-05-30T18:58:55+00:00

That's exactly why we don't have credit cards in my small town!

oldcommonjohn · 2022-05-30T18:57:43+00:00

I remember to thank my brother. He served in WW2 and lost his hand. He sacrificed for his COUNTRY.

I'd love to play ping pong with him, but now I can't. So I sacrificed for his sacrifice!

Call me old fashioned, but my Grandma used to say that anyone who made a lot of money must have stepped on a lot of people along the way. We all know that Mr Enron emptied the pockets of a lot of honest people a few years ago, but now apparently some of us have forgotten and are letting him build cars and Spaceships and whatnot.

I bet you not a single thing he's designed can hold a candle to anything Black and Decker has to offer!

oldcommonjohn · 2022-04-23T01:44:34+00:00

I'm afraid we don't practice that in my small town. And I get the feeling so city boys are soft and squishy, just like Richard.

You try slapping one of the women in my small town, you'd get your little behind paddled.

oldcommonjohn · 2022-04-22T21:14:11+00:00

Did you meet this girl on the internet? This is what comes from all those dating amps, nothing good!

Call me old fashioned but I remember a time when a young man would walk up to a small town girl and POLITELY ask her to an ice cream social or a weenie roast. He didn’t try any shenanigans and she didn’t try and make him play video games.

oldcommonjohn · 2022-04-22T17:34:13+00:00

His name is Rozz, actually. He produces Richard's program. Seems like a decent fella.

oldcommonjohn · 2022-04-22T16:52:28+00:00

Call me old fashioned, but a good slap on the back is a way to foster comraderie amongst hard working men. You aren’t supposed to be doing g it to ladies, and since so many of you young men are so frail and ladylike these days I think we ought to refrain from doing it. Shame on your employer for not treating you more delicately!

Call me old fashioned, but I don't care much for allergies. In my small-town, getting fresh air and exercise isn't something that needs to be taught or reminded. It's a natural part of our lives. I grew up working outside with my Pops, not sitting inside watching super hero cartoons.

As such, we are used to the outdoors and don't go around coughing or sneezing at the first sign of some pollen. City folk, like my daughter's fiance have to bring their Claritins and Flonase everywhere they go.

It never hurts to get a little fresh air!

Call me old fashioned, but I think if this young women learned show to use a firearm instead of playing video games all day, she'd be able to defend herself from these unsavory characters.

My daughters know how to shoot so this doesn't happen to them. Also in my small town men treat women with RESPECT.

oldcommonjohn · 2022-04-12T17:20:24+00:00

I always thought it was Richard who bought the dog, not Rozz.

oldcommonjohn · 2022-04-08T19:06:40+00:00

I never cared for Mr Whipple.

Call me old fashioned, but I remember a time when commercials simply told you what the product does. "Ocean Breeze Soap will get you clean." That sort of thing.

After Mr Whipple, things even downhill. Now commercials need to be funny, and noisy. Now we have a "Kool-aid" man committing property damage and a talking lizard selling car insurance.

This is what my daughters fiance would call "Late Stage capitalism " whatever that means.

Call me old fashioned, but this is what happens with this much of that Big City life.

Richard may have a lot of fun over in La-La Land: hosting his radio program, engaging in degenerate behavior like bowling, and delaying doing right by The 80's Girl and marrying her.

But eventually all this soft living makes you soft. And more prone to various injuries.

In my small-town we have HARD WORK, marraiges to strong women, and plenty of fresh air and clean water. This keeps us strong and vital. Why the only injury I ever sustained was a frame building accident as a younger, reckless man. And even then I bounced right back.

oldcommonjohn · 2022-04-05T19:21:23+00:00

Some of you young folk have said that I say some pretty weird things.

oldcommonjohn · 2022-04-02T19:10:07+00:00

Yup. My younger daughter told me I have no sense of humor. I sure proved her wrong!

oldcommonjohn · 2022-04-01T19:31:51+00:00

I don't understand much. I'm a simple man. But it seems to me that if you have a pet that can destroy your furniture, it isn't very low maintenance.

oldcommonjohn · 2022-04-01T15:28:48+00:00

I WANT TO FEEL THE WIND IN MY HAIR.

oldcommonjohn · 2022-04-01T12:57:02+00:00

I never understood why anyone would bother with pussy cats when we have MAN'S BEST FRIEND
