DEAD AIR AFTER 498 DAYS

My head has been into assembling

OBAMALAND: Who Is Barack Obama? 

 since July, when I received a contract from 

TRADE PUBLISHING COMPANY

Honolulu, Hawaii

(808) 848-0711

While working on it since then, Whodaguy Hawaii.com has run online without a major break in service since July 7, 2007.  That is 16 months uninterupted operation,  around the clock, around the world.  In every U.S. state and over 40 other countries. Our blend of Hawaii's authentic music and  artist interviews, is heard nowhere else but here.  I repeat, NO OTHER AUDIO MEDIUM. (Hmmm? Why not visit Hawaii online, till you get here?)

Not even on the HAPLESS MERGED SATELLITE NETWORKS who complain about no "new" "product."

Well,  if we are back up when you read this and hear the site: YOU TELL ME: Not bad for NO GOVERNMENT (U.S., State or City & County) OR COMMERICIAL SUPPORT,  huh.  Just me and a little help from the most TALENTED friends in the worlds.  (See CREDITS.  And everyone does it manuwahi, Hawaiian style.)

Meanwhile, thanks - MAHALO - to Ernie Nearman, Ed Kanoi,  Greg Ogonowsky, Kevin Gershan, Michi Moore, Lance Momoki, all THE MUSICIANS and many others, who keep THE SOUNDS (you can hear them, simple, try it)  going while I get OBAMALAND: Who Is Barack Obama? on the press ... and come up for air. 

 

I don't think Mel Karmazin  did anything creative or amazin' when I was in Los Angeles. His kind (usually not talent  guys, just salesmen)  are OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY.  And that was the old, 20th Century reality. I don't need to pay no limo to ride, and NOBODY pay nobody else to listen to SOUNDS in my ride or in the house

While corporate radio airheads blew up the industry, and let technology take its course -- like steel, airlines, publishing, automobile and other former bulwarks of the U.S. ECONOMY  like "broadcasting" once was, stagnate, these high paid wusses huff and puff and wring their hands and sit on their okole. 

While Karmazin floats around in his doomed bubble, I sit here barefoot, looking out at beautiful Kaneohe Bay, losing no money, doing something cool.  This comes from my living room, while I write a book, living on Social Security.  Only in America.

My name is Ron Jacobs.  I don't just BLOG OFF about radio -- I got something ALL ITS OWN STREAMING AROUND THE PLANET RIGHT NOW -- if there is no more dead air.

Hey, YOU ARE COOL WITH OBAMA -- 

unless he puts someone  

from Punahou in to run the FCC.

"OBAMALAND: Who Is Barack Obama?"

OBAMALAND: Who Is Barack Obama?

The latest book by RON JACOBS, from Trade Publishing, Honolulu, HI

Release Date: November 2008

EXHAIL !!!

THREE MORE TUESDAYS TO GO

I have been working on the Barack Obama book project for months.  All are trying to make the package as exciting as the subject. Working now with more intensity as news breaks faster in new electronic media time.  The outlook for the election is upredictable. I promised Kini Popo to be pau on deadline.  Kini Popo is the book's publisher. He was the first person to appear on Honolulu televison, 1952. He owns and run Trade Publishing Co., Ltd., which has been in Kalihi since this was the Territory of Hawaii. I selected Popo--his real name is Carl Hebenstreit--I picked his firm for OBAMALAND, ultimately, because it is located on Mokauea Street, between Democrat and Republican streets.

The enterprise is of such consequence that I'm Sunday blogging in the Fifth Week of the NFL 2008-09 season. Anything posted today, of consequence, was probably written by pros (who do so for fun), professionals (for money and more) and Ken Levine, who can blog and savor the Dodgers at the same time. And who knows what reads what, and when, as the blogosphere is on course to envelope the Big Election For President.

Our scheduled publication date is November 5, 2008. The thing is being Made In America.  But, on Oahu, where slow is sometimes cool.  Living here, who can resist the ocean, the sun, the surf .... know what I mean? 

We citizens of the youngest state sometimes call ourselves Hawaiians.  Actually, there are Native Hawaiians and there's the rest of us fortunate--lucky-- to he here. I see out the window, as I type this, the home of the largest Marine base outside of North America, (amongst all members of the U. S. Armed Forces stationed in Hawaii, who we all feel are being given a rotten deal for their heroism.) Indeed, if anyone feels no Aloha here, then someone with some, can drive you to Honolulu International Airport.

There goes the last weekend to relax.  Rams can't lose when they don't play. Barack Obama ... All the Way!

 I predict that on January 20, 2008, 

Barack Obama will be elected the first

Hawaiian President of the United States.

One thing is guaranteed:

 Hauoli La Hanau ... Happy 50th Birthday
