TONIGHT ON AFTER DARK SPANKING KIDS AND ADULTS!

Tune in tonight as we discuss....

Spanking Kids-Most of us who were spanked as children work for bosses who are jerks and never even been in a fist fight. They have never been terrorized by their parents.

While we break our backs making these people rich. And our parents brag about how their kids fear them and how poor but honest the family is.

Is there something wrong with that picture?

Is spanking the reason?

Spanking Adults-Now there are plenty of adults who enjoy a good slap on the rump. Does that make them a freak?

What Happens On Vacation?Does what happen in Vegas stay in Vegas. Wasn't the case for a certain young prince last week. Do the rules of love and lust change when you are out of town? Do they change if you are out of the country? Does what happen on vacation go on "your record?"

GOT DRINKS-One Lucky Caller will win a beautiful set of shot glasses and a matching vase courtesy of The Bargain Boutique.

The fun starts at 9pm on WNJC 1360 AM and online at www.WNJC1360.com.

Ray's List: MAD on Cartoon Network

MAD MAGAZINE on Cartoon Network may be the funniest, artsiest, freshest show that you are missing.

The Cartoon Network show is based on the popular magazine that has been a favorite on news stands since 1952. Not to be confused with the former SNL rival MAD TV.

MAD on Cartoon Network really is an animated version of the monthly magazine.

Here's A Few Reason Why You Should Check It Out!

1. MAD is an original-With out the success of Mad Magazine would there even be a Cartoon Network?
How many people who work at CN were either readers of MAD or influenced by readers, writers and artists of Mad Magazine. I know it was my dream job at age 15.

2. Mad Is Still Original-Over the years a few MAD rip offs came and enjoyed various levels of success there was Marvel's Crazy and also Cracked. I thought both Crazy and Cracked were excellent comedy magazines. However, only Mad has been able to stay into the 21st century. Mad is still full of ever changing and original ideas ...all of them funny.

3. The Humor In MAD should make you think more than it makes you ANGRY.
One thing I enjoy about MAD while reading as an adult is that the humor is often based on serious issues, Hollywood's lack of new ideas, and just the funny things in life.

4. Watching Mad on Cartoon Network is a great way to connect with your kids. Why watch an episode and then share some classic issues or go to the news stand and pick up the latest.
It should be a great way to at least encourage the enjoyment of reading.

The Business Of Music With Robert Williams: Value Your Product

STOP GIVING AWAY ALL YOUR MUSIC!

Check here for the NEW Business Of Music Column By Robert Williams of T Marquise Entertainment!

The Free Mixtape/Street Album phenomena is killing the revenue flow in the Hip-Hop game. Artists are not getting paid, producers are not getting paid, etc.. I say, leave the MULTIPLE Mixtapes for the DJs, and the rappers should go back to giving out singles and samplers and creating quality EPs or Albums that they can market and sell.

Rappers have trained their audience to expect free music all of the time with the multiple releases of Free Street Albums…CRAZY!

Stop painting rap fans with a broad brush. Not every rap fan wants free throwaway music. Rap fans are not demanding this free clutter music; it’s being shoved on them. Many aspiring Rock & Roll, Pop, Country and R&B artists are building solid fanbases without giving away free albums. Rappers Take Note!

You can put out a free single or sampler, and still spark a lot of interest in your brand. Who told you that you MUST put out a FREE Street Album/mixtape?

Here's a Sneak Peak at some of The ACCC Donations.

On Wednesday 8/22 The Atlantic Cape Community College's City Campus arranged a pick up of donations to supply as many as 50 students with pens, lunch bags, wrist bands, and water bottles.

These will be given out to Atlantic City junior highschool and highschool students via a drawing on September 6th at The Police Athletic League (250 N. New York Avenue, in Atlantic City!)

The event is sponsored by The Little Wellness Arts Center, the radio show The Music and Entertainment Report, Train Personal Fitness Studios, and T Marquise Entertainment (www.Tmarquise.com)

To make the event a total success, we are still in need of a few things more including: financial sponsors to offset other expenses (more sponsors are welcome) , office supply store gift cards, notebooks, pens, pencils, rulers, any and all school supplies are welcome.

For more immediate details please reach out to me at RaymondCTyler@gmail.com.

Again we would like to say thanks to the ACCC City Campus' Department Of Community Affairs for their donation. Now I am looking at Richard Stockton college where I volunteer and host a weekly radio show to to step up.

The Music and Entertainment Report's Club Harlem Tribute

It is with great pride that we officially announce that The Polaris Group will be teaming up with 

The Music and Entertainment Report radio show and website to bring 

The City Of Atlantic City some great entertainment at this year's Kentucky Ave Festival!

Come on out from 2pm to 4pm to see The Music and Entertainment Report/Little Wellness Art Center's
TRIBUTE TO THE CLUB HARLEM!

 

For the better part of The 20th Century The Club Harlem stood on Kentucky Avenue in Atlantic City.
At the height of it's success The Club Harlem bragged that it had been a haven for as many important Black stars as the Apollo.

Club Harlem also offered one important thing The Apollo could not, in that The Club Harlem was in walking distance to the beach.

Everyone from Sam Cooke and Sammy Davis Jr. to Will Smith have appeared on that stage.

Produced by WNJC personality Raymond Tyler

At 2pm on August 11th. We invite you to come enjoy 2 hours of free entertainment out in the fresh air with your family. We are putting together a show that will pay tribute to the Club Harlem with classic music and some a dash of new music and dance as well. We will even have a comic and spoken word artist or two.

We are still auditioning...for more info contact Raymond Tyler at raymondctyler@gmail.com
