With James

In these confused times isn't it nice to find some relief? Every week, James will try to bring some sense into this crazy world via the radio waves. Look back. Look forward. Seek the truth. Never dull. Always irreverent. Fight the good fight by just sitting back and listening.

I had a gut feeling you played this one for me.
Roadsider 9:40:34 AM
James, I've been getting your recent life updates in dribs and drabs. I gather you're not flying drones any longer? Was the parting mutually agreed upon?
James (host) 9:41:26 AM
That I don't know. I'm sure they are as glad to be rid of me as I of them
trinkaltbier 9:42:16 AM
Hey, I heard PeterCs alchemy show and boy was he laying down great tunes and ZBC history!
Bradgic 9:42:41 AM
Listened to the show last night. In for a second dose this morning!
James (host) 9:43:29 AM
I missed PeterC Alchemy. I'll check on the Z-Archive after this show.
James (host) 9:43:59 AM
@Bradgic...second coming.
James (host) 9:50:58 AM
I enjoy the whisltling on this track
trinkaltbier 9:52:26 AM
BTW, a buddy of mine was flying his drone last night, took really nice photos (even one of me), requires skill, that is for sure. Good luck on that front.
James (host) 9:53:31 AM
Everyone has drones. They are like Uber now. On demand. Crap pay. Soon Drones will be like selfie sticks and cameras on phones. Sick of drones.
James (host) 9:54:25 AM
Like quarantine...everyone makes their own rules and disregards regulations and dangers for personal importance
Roadsider 9:56:26 AM
Then I better not tell you what I'm doing this weekend. ;-)
James (host) 9:56:41 AM
Flying your drone in illegal airspace
bruckner4 10:01:28 AM
reg-eye-nah, please.
Andrew Herman 10:06:26 AM
I am with you, James, down with drones!
James (host) 10:08:53 AM
And something about quarantine and drones. All sorts of people contacting me about getting a drone and into the drone business.
James (host) 10:10:41 AM
Drones are like knives. A great tool. In the wrong and inept hands...a danger. A weapon.

trinkaltbier 10:16:53 AM
sorry to bring up a sore subject. I'll stick the music from now on.
James (host) 10:18:17 AM
@ trink Not a problem!! It's a worthy subject for discussion. Forefront tech.
James (host) 10:24:24 AM
@ Bruck....I was thinking of this Whitey photo...https://www.bostonherald.com/2011/06/23/whitey-bulgers-chilling-reign-of-terror/
bruckner4 10:26:51 AM
got it. he was long in the tooth by then. there's one from alcatraz that's almost too good to be true.
Jeff Berlin 10:33:13 AM
hey @KOTJ pre-heard some of today's show last night on MixCloud..
trinkaltbier 10:34:13 AM
I have an autographed Robin Lane & The Chartbusters album from when they visited our fraternity after a concert in the 80's. Robin did not sign, but Asa's guitar signature is classic.
Jeff Berlin 10:34:25 AM
Robin Lane is still around, playing occasionally
trinkaltbier 10:35:14 AM
Jeff Berling, you had a big mention on PeterC's alchemy show yesterday...good stories told.
Jeff Berlin 10:36:51 AM
@trinkaltbier - ich trinke alt bier sehr gern ! Thanks gotta listen back, heard the last 30 min of Peter's show yesterday and thought it was an awesome set, really enjoyed.

Hi Everybody

@ PeterC - rumor is I missed a great show yesterday morning. I'll be checking out after KOTJ. Sleeping late...pleasures of unemployment!
PeterC 10:59:56 AM
lol I also have been enjoying those pleasures for quite a while now!!!!

James (host) 11:15:34 AM
@ Roadie Dave has always been of deep catholic faith. If uber catholic means advocating for falsely accused catholic priest who have had their reputations ruined, he's an uber catholic.
James (host) 11:16:17 AM
@PeterC....Yes. When I started he was a sports guy and became an integral part of ZBC 1989-1992.
PeterC 11:22:15 AM
Wow...I would not have predicted that...
James (host) 11:22:31 AM
Who could? Or that he would move to L.A. To be a comedian and wound up shortly being in a Burger King ad?
ex DJ tamer 11:22:57 AM
DP moved to L.A. and attempted a career as a comedian, probably around 15 years ago.
ex DJ tamer 11:24:11 AM
Ooh, James beat me to that trivia by milliseconds...
James (host) 11:24:51 AM
I should have a sex drive....like a pledge drive.
Roadsider 11:24:54 AM
I mentioned the Catholic thing because PETER CHOICE!!! pointed me to one a book I believe he authored.

Jeri Rossi trivia: after making some great records in the 1980s (my fave: "I Left My Heart But I Don't Know Where"), she was involved in underground filmmaking, then became an author. Web search: "Jeri Cain Rossi".
John Fisher 11:29:16 AM
I remember him having the line, "paper or plastic" in a commercial back in '92?
James (host) 11:29:00 AM
@ Ex DJ...yes. I did some research too after the Sound Syrup chatter
ex DJ tamer 11:29:37 AM
I missed that chatter....
Kris Thompson 11:30:28 AM
Dave was also in a Little Caesar's ad, and was The Maytag Man in Australia for a while. And was (is?) a conservative troll on Boston Globe online articles. (Hi guys!)
James (host) 11:30:47 AM
@ Kris My plea must have been heard.
Roger Jermyn 11:32:13 AM
Made it before the end of the show . Better late than never
PeterC 11:32:49 AM
well it appears he did a lot with his BC education
Jeff Berlin 11:37:08 AM
@Kris Dave Pierre is a Globe troll - in the comments section? What's his handle ?
Barry Hart 11:37:11 AM
Good morning,James,hope youโ€™re doing well-Thank you for the songs from the Prefab Messiahs,Robin Lane & the Chartbusters,Big Black Puppets,Lampshades & A Band & the Opheliaโ€™s.Beautiful show -with gratitude.

ex DJ tamer 11:39:45 AM
I'm still thinking about Jeri Rossi--happy that James played her early punk band...
ex DJ tamer 11:39:50 AM
I met Jeri Rossi at a Kinky Friedman book signing in 1993. Always wondered whether Kinky inspired her to move from making music to writing books.
