AMERICAN IDOL–WHAT THE F–K!

Whoa Nellie. what the heck is wrong with this year’s American Idol? If you are a fan, as I am, you are so disappointed , and I actually turned off the TV before tonight show was over.

Over the years I’ve become very fond of watching our young talent mature as the shows went on, and you never knew what singer was going to blow you away.

This year you wonder if you can even sit through the horrible songs that they have picked and their lack of ability to pound them out. I know if these kids don’t get better in the coming weeks, not only am I going to stop watching, but the rest of the United States will do so also.

I can understand why Simon is going to quit, things can only get worse after the tremendous successes that they have had.

I can’t even find a favorite to root for, and I always had more than one.

What a bummer!

LOCKDOWN BAR—PEEGE[P.J.]

I am thrilled to show you a dream fulfilled. My fantasy son, that’s what my boys call PJ, with my adopted son, David, have built a beautiful rock bar in the city of Chicago. They were lucky enough to have NBC come out and do a video and I am going to play it for you. Actually, you’ll have to play it for yourself.

I hope everyone who watches this video will come out and enjoy the music and most of all enjoy the great food.

Isn’t PJ cute?

WHY PAY FULL PRICE??

I’ve been going to movies for most of my life. I love taking my friends and family so we can all be together and have some enjoyment. So, why pay full price?

I CAN’T SEEM TO GAIN WEIGHT

You know that person that can eat and eat and never gain weight, that’s me.

RACE TRACK

One of my vices is going to the racetrack. I try and I try to give it up, but just can’t seem to do it. The thrill of watching your horse win the race and collecting lots of money just seems to give me a charge. This is one of the situations that happens at the racetrack.

CAN’T BE POSSIBLE,COULD IT?

I was watching TV the other night and got a call from my big brother David. I answer it, looking forward to a nice conversation with my brother, when he asked me if I got a phone call from some man from North Dakota. I said I hadn’t, why?

Apparently he got a phone call from a gentleman who represented a large oil company, who wished to speak with us about a parcel of land. The size of the land was 60 acres and we didn’t know what he was talking about.

50 years ago my cute grandparents, Maurice at Beulah, signed an agreement giving them the mineral rights for the 60 acres. Well, my grandparents have been dead for 40 years and my parents for at least 10. That leaves my brother and I as the sole heirs for these rights.

With the world’s mad rush for oil we in the United States are looking with in our own boundaries. Low and behold, they are finding oil in South Dakota.

This company believes there is a good possibility that oil lies under the property that we have rights to. He wanted to send us a contract for them to lease the property. they would pay us a small amount of rent for four years and if they hit oil we would receive 18 1/2% of the gross revenues.

Can you imagine getting a phone call out of the blue that could have such tremendous bearing on my and my children’s future. It is something that you see in movies and not in real life. Just like the Beverly hillbillies.

Of course it is still very remote that this will come to fruition, but stranger things have happened!

MICHAEL JORDAN [INDESCRIBABLE]

Absolutely the most incredible human being that my generation will ever have the pleasure to experience. He was absolutely superhuman in his basketball skills. his ability to generate capital was more amazing than his basketball abilities.

I personally attended every basketball game played in Chicago from 1991 through 1998. I had the good fortune to be able to go to numerous games at other venues. I only wish the young people of today could experience first-hand the mind-boggling hardwood exploits of this exquisite athlete.

We all think we know how good a basketball player he was, but do we know the vast sums of money this man generated in the global economy. He made hundreds of millions of dollars and yet he was underpaid.

Lately I have heard Kobe Bryant being compared to Michael Jordan on his skills on the basketball court. And even though much of this is personal opinion,[to me there was no comparison] the true comparison has to be on their ability to earn income for the people who invested in them.

When Michael Jordan played, every venue that he played in was sold out. The worst teams that couldn’t draw a few thousand fans would sell out. Standing room was at a premium. Last month Kobe Bryant came to Chicago to play the Bulls. Technically the game was sold out but there was no problem getting a ticket at a reasonable price right up until game time.This never happened when Michael was playing, try to find a ticket was like pulling hen’s teeth. The prices for the tickets knew no bounds and people would pay thousands per ticket for special games. Never was a ticket available at a reasonable price in the secondary market for a Michael Jordan game. Kobe Bryant, and no other NBA player has been able to match this.

So if one must compare these two great athletes then one must assume that Michael exceeded Kobe’s abilities purely on the deduction that if Kobe was as good as Michael then he would be able to command the same prices as Michael did. Hence, no comparison.

The Michael Jordan name generated billions of dollars to our economy and made the Bulls value approach $1 billion. If my memory serves me correctly I believe that the current owners bought the Bulls for $14 million. That one transaction earned almost $1 billion. Now what  person can you name that was able to achieve that?

So many companies, and personal fortunes were made on his back. It is hard for me to conceive that anyone  will ever be able to do the same.

I thank God that I was able to enjoy this during a part of my life.

Looking forward,
