Goodbye to Live 105.3...
By now, you likely know that Live 105.3 is now "The Fan." CBS Radio decided to go in a different direction, which doesn't include "The Everett Newton Show" or "The Russ Martin Show." Like Dan O'Malley, I have the dubious distinction of having been fired from TWO shows on the same day! Of course, the flip side of that circumstance is that I am fortunate to have been on TWO shows to begin with. Two shows that had a great run... almost 8 with Russ, and over 4 on my weekend gig.
In fact, I'm very lucky to have ended up in radio at all. After all, I'm a criminal defense attorney, and have always been very happy with that as my chief vocation. I'm very grateful to Russ for giving me the opportunity to be part of his show. Otherwise, I wouldn't have ended up in radio. I'm equally obliged to Gavin Spittle not only for giving me my own show, but also for allowing me broad discretion to conduct it as I saw fit.
As you might imagine, I have received NUMEROUS email regarding 105.3's abrupt shift in direction. Your kind words are appreciated more than you know. I realize that many of you are very upset with the new format. Of course, CBS Radio is a business. As with any business, their goal is to maximize the bottom line. Their belief is that "The Fan" will do just that. For that reason, I respect their decision.
So now what? Well, for now, I'll continue to enjoy the practice of law. I have a great law partner, a wonderful staff, and a profession that I find very satisfying.
Maybe I'll end up on another show someday. Maybe not. If I don't, I will always have many fond memories of my time "on the air" and of the many friends I've made over the years as a result. If I do, I hope you'll tune in! Regardless, the greatest debt of gratitude I owe is to you, the listener. Thank you for your many years of support!

Final Word
Here's an original work I wrote for my band, Little Morphine Annie. It's called "Final Word." Look for it on our upcoming 11 song release, coming in Spring, 2009. Check out our MySpace.com page for other band-related videos, and my YouTube.com page for TONS of videos of me jamming, the band jamming, and "The Zelda and Roy Show" (a.k.a., The Adventures of Everett's Identical Twin"). Rock on!
