Following are the words of Johnny Cash describing the early days of his radio experience. Reading it I recognized the madness in the Recruiting Animal's methodology and thought I'd draw it to your attention - if it worked once why not again?

"Sleepy-Eyed John said and did anything he wanted on the air. He'd let new singles play halfway through, then jerk them off the turntable and throw them into his trash bin. "That guy ain't worth a hoot" he'd say. "Let's find something worth playing. All right, here's Bud Deckleman's new one. Now there's a record!"

Despite his act, Sleepy-Eyed John knew exactly what was going on. He saw the rock 'n' roll turnaround coming and he helped it along. He was a nice guy too, handsome...

Dewey Phillips was quieter, more reserved and relaxed than Sleepy-Eyed John, but on the air he was a maniac, one of those midnight howlers like Wolfman Jack; that was his act. He was good to talk to about music and good to me, and he worked his tail off at that station. His 'Red Hot and Blue' show went on at midnight, but he was on the air during the day too."
~ Cash - The Autobiography, Johnny Cash with Patrick Carr, 2003, Pages 71-72

Now, I know we won't find Animal on the air at midnight ('cept if you listen to his taped shows) 'cause he's fast asleep most every night at midnight but every Wednesday at noon EST you'll hear him howlin' away, just like some of those early mad characters in on-the-air radio did. Only Animal is doing it on Internet Radio at Blog-Talk Radio and you don't want to miss his shenanigans and you do want to be one of his guests - IF you can take his heat. If you'd like to appear on Animal's weekly radio show give him a call - 416 481 8016. Have your schtick together when you appear 'cause he's sharp and bold and bright and his listening audience is expanding as we talk about all this! Don't miss him broadcasting LIVE in Toronto from Recruitfest. Stop by his mike and say hi to the recruitosphere.
