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.

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?
