You know it maybe that because I'm young moving is alot more fun for me. New adventures in new places, new people and new places. As strange as it sounds I dig it. The only thing that I have the biggest problem giving up is all the great little hole in the wall resturants that I so love to frequent. Hey Big J, I forgot to tell you! I'm going through all of moving nonesense myself. I got a job working in Promotions at KBZT. I managed to find a beautiful little town house in Encinitas about 4 miles from the beach.

Well, talk about moving stress, our day began at 7:30 AM with the movers, and they finished at 4:40 PM loading up. By the time Jeanette and I left LA it was a little after 8PM. We arrived in Chandler at 4:30 AM. So I am a wee bit tired as I write and edit today. As promised, here are some of your tales of relocation. Hey Jonathan, I JUST moved from Denver (Channel 93.3/KTCL) to Sacramento (KWOD 106.5) for the morning gig. The drive from there to here was not stressful. I only took what I could put in the dependable Camry (girlie is shipping the rest piece by piece). I kind of zone out when I drive so I don't notice how long it is. Living in a hotel for the 1st week isn't stressful either. They clean your room for you everyday if you want. They bring you food everyday if you want. Getting a new place wasn't that bad either (a decent credit rating helps reduce stress in this instance). The only stressful thing about this move is that my sweetie of 2 years (Boomer- MD & afternoon drive jock on 99.9 The Point) is still in Ft. Collins. We're missing each other bad. Never did a long distance relationship before but she's the bomb & I intend to do whatever it takes to stay with her. Hopefully by the end of the year we'll have made some headway into her getting a gig out here. Rubin KWOD 2.0 @ 106.5 FM Morning Jock rubin@kwod.net I have moving down to a science. I have moved 7 times in the last 3 years. I have Rubbermaid bins pre-labeled and organized in my closet so I'm set to go at any time. The real deal with moving are neighbors. For instance, I just had a new neighbor move in about a month ago. Since that time he has borrowed my cell phone twice for about 45 minutes, ran over my mailbox, attends my parties and then complains to management about the noise, asks my friends if they have any pills he can pop, and claims to be an elementary school teacher! WTF??? Time to get out the Rubbermaid.

Jeanette and I will hopefully hit the road by noon after the movers have packed the van. For those of you who have my cell number, call if you would like. I'll just be driving the six hours to Phoenix. Our 17-year old Maine Coon cat Ollie will be with us of course. She's getting used to the long drive. I will update this site when I get to the desert. June 27 Lorrie Morgan Birthday's today: Trisha Yearwood, Toby Maguire, Jeff Conine, Julia Duffy, Jack Poels, Jason Patric, Jeffrey Lee Pierce (Gun Club), Bruce Babbit, H Ross Perot, Isabelle Adjani L.A. Confidential I LOVE LA! But, it is time to leave after a decade. I didn’t really want to have to leave, but hey, when you come to the point where it’s a struggle financially and maintaining a very expensive home, or moving where it’s less expensive…you move. I, like many have found in the past two years as the music industry has taken a downturn, life decisions have to be made. Having said that, I am sad in some ways, yet feel that in the long run it is best we move now. Jeanette is having a harder time than me detaching from this wonderful city. She will get over it. I know she will, but for both of us we will have so many great and meaningful memories. When we moved here in August of 1995, we fit in like a glove. We rented Kenny Ryback’s condo for a year before we bought it from him. The location was a walk downhill to The Palace and Jack’s Sugar Shack. Neither exists in name anymore. Jack’s is now Deep, and The Palace is now a chain nightclub called Avalon. We looked from our terrace at the Capitol Building, a Hollywood landmark. We frequented places that people knew us by name. We love LA! We were married in LA on Hollywood and Vine. We partied at Jack’s Sugar Shack afterwards with The John Easdale Band, The Beat Angels from Phoenix, Stevie Salas and Howe Gelb (Giant Sand). I had cancer and was lucky enough to receive the operation I did at the USC Norris Cancer Center. We LOVE LA! So why did I finally end up in Los Angeles, since I had been coming in and out of LA since 1973 when I moved from New York to Tucson. Hell, I remember back then there weren’t any parking meters on Sunset Boulevard. Hah. I am one person who was always an ambassador, if you will, for our beloved Los Angeles. Others are way too cynical about knocking a city that DOES have culture. Plenty of it. Beyond the ocean of course, there is Griffith Park, Dodger Stadium, The Observatory, many other parks, the mountains nearby, a classic old school Airport (Burbank), and some of the best restaurants and place s to shop. Not all Angelino’s are plastic and phonies, as some would have you believe. Ok, maybe the Westside has some…but that’s not the entire city. There is so much culture with a large Asian community, and naturally a huge Hispanic community. People from all over the world, similar to New York inhabit the country’s second largest city. When I left radio and Phoenix 10 years ago, it was purely to make money and present a better life for Jeanette and myself. Working at The Album Network for the better part of 6 1/2 years was amazing. I met so many new people both that I worked with and others outside of the building too. Call me Randy Newman junior. I LOVE LA! In the past 3 1/2 years, post Album Network, I have had a lot of time to finally find other interests such as golf, walking and utilizing my spare time well. Creating this website means a lot to me. I did it all by myself, shocking even me. Music is and will always be the largest part of me, but after Album Net I had to be more than just the “music guy”. Especially in the past year I’ve had a lot of time to think about life, family and friends. Working has been 90% of my life a great deal of years, like many of you. Sometimes you get so wrapped up in your career that you forget to take some time for yourself. At least I know I fell in that category. Don’t get me wrong, I love working, I just now have a different outlook on my brief stay on this earth. I have been in this business for so many years that I know who my real friends are. Having been in a position to do things for people since I began in 1974, the past two years I would say is when I was snubbed, ignored and some even disrespected me, and I’m okay with that. I have always been street smart from youth to spot the shallow people around me. That is also a product of an industry that many are looking over their shoulders worrying they are about to lose their job. Hey, that’s the nature of the George Bush beast. You could say that during his administration that the moralistic society has grown way out of control. Big brother now prevails, and the first industry they scrutinize is the entertainment field. Hah, should I say I’m a causality of the NEW society? I LOVE LA!, but I also love Phoenix for many reasons too. Fuck the heat. I’ve always worn shorts and tank tops, so big deal. Besides, sweating is good for you. It cleans out the pores-lol. So on the eve of Jeanette and I packing the last personal items in the SUV, I am actually looking forward to returning to a city that knows me very well, and who knows, maybe going back into radio is the piece of the puzzle that makes me whole again. Now, don’t read into this as if I have something lined up already, because I don’t. In my heart I know when the time is right, the right people will ask me onto the airwaves once again. The beautiful house above, 3842 Shannon Road is our ticket out of town. Jeanette and I bought the house in 1999. It is an architectural wonder in the middle of much older homes in the posh Los Feliz neighborhood. I have to give Jeanette a lot of credit for finding this gem and taking care of it so much that you could eat off the floors. Howie Klein lives about 12 houses away on Shannon as well as drummer extraordinaire Jim Keltner. The little guy from the “Nerd” movies lives 3 houses away, as well as many others in the entertainment biz. No one ever lived in our house but J and me. It was brand new. That’s been an accomplishment for us. It's been a blast! A cool neighborhood and people, as many of you who have visited the house knows. Jeanette and I will miss our closest friends Victor, Jennifer, Geordie, Jenny, Felicia, Arthur, as well as newer friends like Lisa. “Say goodbye to Hollywood, say goodbye to my baby”- Billy Joel Arizona, here we come again. Our family is stoked! Our friends that we always remained in contact with like The Naylor’s, Larry Mac, Johnny D, Courtney and Bob and a few others are excited we are coming back, so it’s all good. Also our Tucson friends are happy too because it isn’t that far of a drive. This website will continue of course. It was and still is my way of keeping others and myself in contact with each other. I will also be involved with a few records when I quickly set up my new office. So nothing really changes other than we will be in Chandler instead of Los Feliz. This week: tales of moving, relocation, and wishes from many like Darla Thomas, Sharon White, Kneale Mann, Jerry Rubino, Paul Kriegler, Rubin, Mark Rudkin, Jackie Selby and many others.

None other than an old friend, Kurt St. Thomas and his lovely wife Megan. Figures, he's been living in Glendale for under a year, and we finally touch base 4 days before Jeanette and I leave to go back to Phoenix. We did some catching up, and I can tell you Kurt is dabbling in many things. Among them, shooting music video's, managing a band, writing a screenplay with Megan, and doing an early morning one day weekend shift on KROQ. Kurt was the PD at WFNX in Boston for years. I took this photo with my cellphone. Cool...huh? Oh, I shot a six over par.-lol-JL Tomorrow: My reflections on 10 years in Los Angeles and moving back to Phoenix.

Scott Lowe B104 Allentown PA As Jeanette is furiously ravaging through all the STUFF we have as we pack, she ran across this photo of me with the late great JJ Jackson. JJ and I first met in the early 90's at a party at Ron Poore's old apartment in Hollywood. Willobee intoduced us. Years later JJ was a frequent vistor to my office at virtuallyalternative in Burbank. JJ used to go to the shooting range not far our building. JJ was featured in the WBCN book that I put together, and he would drop by his personal photo's and captions for them. One of the original MTV VJ's and a longtime radio personality was one of the warmest human beings you would ever meet.
