Ron Cameron

[radiofan1974]

Appears to be a nice crowd tonight, I am sure Ron will say it’s the buses from Canada coming in.

Though as Ron is watching bally sports tonight it’s a players only broadcast, and coming up a Ron Cameron favorite-Frank Tanana

Perhaps Frank will bring up Ron’s involvement in the Catholic league

Milt Wilcox just brought up three balls two strikes, no credit thought to Ron though

[sparty89]

Ballys just showed Dan Petry standing and moving around without a walker, so apparently Ron's CoPa insider is wrong again.

Once again, work pulled me away from Ron's show on Friday. I noticed big stories in the paper this past week about Kris Draper and Filip Zadina. Since these were obvious topics of discussion between Ron and Jimmy D, I'm guessing that Ron skipped over them in favor of his Gordie is the Greatest, etc. stories.

Dunce In A Lifetime

And you may find yourself living in a cheap motel room
And you may find yourself on a different radio station
And you may find yourself behind the wheel in an out state bus caravan
And you may find yourself at the Statler Hotel. With Muhammad Ali
And you may ask yourself, “What are you doing here?”

Broadcast another show, producer coming in on me
Broadcast another show, fracturing metaphors
Into the red again, I’ll mooch a meal from Rams Horn
Dunce in a lifetime, doing brokered radio

And you may ask yourself, why isn’t this working?
And you may ask yourself, where is that phone number?
And you may tell yourself, this is not my fleabag motel room.
And you may tell yourself, this is not my knucklehead producer

Broadcast another show, producer coming in on me
Broadcast another show, fracturing metaphors
Into the red again, I’ll mooch a meal from Rams Horn
Dunce in a lifetime, doing brokered radio

Same show that it’s always been
Same show that it’s always been
Same show that it’s always been
Same show that it’s always been

Guest list dissolving, show time is moving
There’s a show at the bottom of the ratings
Washed up has been, carry the show.
Remove remove remove the show at the bottom of the ratings
Greasy meal dissolving, bowels are moving

Broadcast another show, wheezing and coughing on the air
Broadcast another show, bump the microphone again
Where did that copy go, broadcasting silent air.
Like Sports Fan Journal, this show is going down.
Broadcast another show, Interrupt guest with play by play
Broadcast another show, Throw a racial slur around
Into the red again, I’ll work the front desk at night
News restaurant news a couple weeks from now.

And you may ask yourself, where are the emails?
And you may ask yourself, where did that phone number go to?
And you may ask yourself, Am I right or am I right?
And you may say to yourself, I’m God, I’m never wrong!

Broadcast another show, all talk is centered around me
Broadcast another show, team owners idolize me
Ike Blessett is on again, but Two Stroke Terry is gone.
Can’t get a guest again, they’re hiding underground.
Broadcast another show, rant about Coangelo
Broadcast another show, Avila should not have been let go
Kincaide is due again, Beckman bashing will go on
Dunce in a lifetime I saved the Catholic league.

Same show that it’s always been
Same show that it’s always been
Same show that it’s always been
I’ll book more has beens.
Time is just about up, who’s on after us?
Same show that it’s always been
No A lister comes on………I’ll get Doug Fister
Same show that it’s always been
Dunce in a lifetime, Train wreck radio.

This is great—thanks for putting it together. I particularly liked your parody of one of my all-time favorite lyrics ("Water dissolving, and water removing. There is water at the bottom of the ocean.")

Excellent work!!

Great links to the show

Once again, work pulled me away from Ron's show on Friday. I noticed big stories in the paper this past week about Kris Draper and Filip Zadina. Since these were obvious topics of discussion between Ron and Jimmy D, I'm guessing that Ron skipped over them in favor of his Gordie is the Greatest, etc. stories.

Most of the conversation was Ron pushing Jimmy D to give a playoff prediction for the wings, which Jimmy D would not do. He did give a goal of getting 90 points, on the door step perhaps and if they can get a 30-40 scorer possibly making it

So the rest of the summer and fall, look for Ron to say 90 points for the wings over and over again

Brilliant, Majik! That proposed Broadway musical based on Ron’s life is really picking up steam.

Since these were obvious topics of discussion between Ron and Jimmy D, I'm guessing that Ron skipped over them in favor of his Gordie is the Greatest, etc. stories.

Like radiofan1974 noted, Ron mostly talked about the team’s playoff chances. I don’t recall any discussion about Draper & Zadina, but then it was so sleep-inducing I might’ve missed that. There was, however, no GOAT talk. Maybe it’s finally dawned on Ron that Jimmy D. doesn’t agree with his choice.

[Majik]

With Ron’s Goats as Wilt for basketball and Gordie for hockey, who does he designate for football and baseball? Anyone know?

I don’t know if he’s said it in so many words, but I suspect his choices would be Jim Brown, & a combination of Ted Williams & Bob Feller.

[radiofan1974]

Combined no-hitter

Rons take-Blue jays played bad baseball and they caused it, nothing tigers did played a role

[radiofan1974]

To add insult-Eric Hasse was behind the plate, I can see the steam in Ron as he watches bally sports

Ron has oft-implied that he's spoken to the Tigers' pitchers who have told him they prefer to pitch to Jake Rogers, the team's undisputed all-star. Next time Ron's in the "dressing room," maybe he can ask Matt Manning if he's had changed his mind.
