Joe Franklin DEAD at 88 – Legend Remembered

January 25th, 2015

CEO

By Bob Price

Another entertainment legend has passed on. Joe Franklin, broadcasting legend of both radio and television in New York City, had died of cancer at the age of 88.

Franklin was considered to be one of the founders of the TV talk show format, predating hosts like Johnny Carson and Dick Cavett, and gave many up-and-coming stars their first real media exposure on his show.

Franklin started ‘The Joe Franklin Show’ in 1950, and remained on the air constantly until illness forced him off only in recent weeks. He worked primarily for New York stations WOR and WJZ, was said to have never missed a scheduled broadcast, and interviewed more than 300,000 guests during his career.

Marc Cary’s New Album Rhodes Ahead Volume 2 Set to ARRIVE on March 17, 2015

January 20th, 2015

CEO

Jazz innovator Marc Cary, voted Rising Star-Keyboardist in this year’s 62nd Annual DownBeat Critics Poll, updates one of the most adventurous concepts of his career with the release of Rhodes Ahead Vol. 2 on March 17, 2015, on Motéma Music.

The upcoming album is the long-awaited follow-up to Rhodes Ahead Vol. 1, Cary’s breakthrough of 1999 (with its sly allusion to the ubiquitous Fender Rhodes electric piano), in which the former drummer and trumpeter incorporated elements of drum n’ bass, electronic funk and R&B, house, Afro-Cuban, ethnic, and the ‘go-go’ music of his teenage bands in Washington, DC. The result was a savvy, exotic mix that crossed rhythmic bridges between generations, much as his idol Miles Davis had done when he met Fillmore rock audiences head-on three decades earlier.

The NFL is certainly no stranger to scandal. We have compiled a list of what we think are 5 of the most talked about scandals of recent times. Which is the most scandalous? Let us know what you think.

Shocking Assumptions: When Media Hits Below the Belt

January 14th, 2015

CEO

By David Stillwell

The recent cover of inTouch Magazine popped a photoshopped picture of Bruce Jenner with makeup and looking like a well-dressed, woman of stature. In short, there are worse looking women. The bottom line is who cares. It is somewhat sad that people cannot go through their own identity crisis without being dragged into the public spotlight and gang raped by the media.

What’s the Harm?

First, who really knows what Bruce Jenner is going through. He is not holding press conferences. He is not being hauled off to jail because of public brawls. He is not hashing out his business in public in true Justin Bieber style. He is just quietly going about his life.

By David Stillwell

Following the January 4, 2015 game between the Cowboys and the Lions where critical mistakes by NFL Refs lead to the Cowboy’s victory over the Detroit Lions. Foul! There have been plenty of experts, outside of the NFL who has reviewed the tapes, and fostered opinions that the Ref responsible for picking up the flag for pass interference was wrong. Big deal, bad calls happen all of the time. However, it is more than just a bad call? Many people seem to think it is, especially after the VIP of Officiating was caught partying on the Cowboy’s owners party bus. At the very least that is bad form; but what if…

What if the two incidents are connected?

NFL SHOCKS FANS: Corruption May Decide Super Bowl 2015

It has to be a nail in the coffin for the NFL, as Dean Blandino is caught on board the Cowboys Party Bus. Why is that a problem? Dean Blandino is the NFL’s VP of Officiating. In a video aired by TMZ, has most of the NFL Clubs up in arms. The video shows Dean Blandino enjoying a night on the town with the owners, VP, and owners family of the Dallas Cowboys.

Fast Forward to the Lions versus the Cowboys for January 4, 2015, and the problem really comes to a head. Botched calls give edge to the Cowboys. In a play that drew pass interference flags against the Cowboys is the heart of the problem the Ref threw the flag, and the penalty was overturned. In an explanation of why, Pete Morelli, who spoke to Todd Archer, explains that the original foul was thrown by the back ref and upon consultation with another ref the penalty was overturned. The reason is that the front line ref claims that what occurred was not pass interference, but rather face guarding. Face guarding is not a penalty in the NFL, though it is in College Football
