Jim could tour with Stevie and introduce her like her dad did.

Yeah, its sad about Jim Ladd---he does great interviews --I wish I could hear more of them with other music guests through the yrs. I've always loved his Stevie interviews. I hope he finds something else.

FYI, this Saturday Nov. 5, Jim Ladd will be doing a farewell show on KFI AM 640 from 4p- 7p.

This is an L.A. radio station, but you will be able to listen online at www.kfiam640.com.

There has been talk about him going to another station, so I'm hoping he makes an announcement, and if not, at least KFI is giving him a chance to say goodbye. Jim said he is grateful for this opportunity. And maybe Stevie will call in, if not show up?

I hope he makes a positive announcement as well..and a Stevie cameo wouldn't hurt!

Thanks for the info of live streaming..however I hope there will be an mp3 or other link available. I'll be out of town and won't be near a computer

I really want to hear this show!!!

Lots of talk about Jim going to KSWD (The Sound) 100.3 FM...to reconnect with a few of his former cohorts from the long gone KMET.

As much as I hope some radio station snaps Jim Ladd up in two seconds flat, the reality of media these days is that Jim may have to go somewhere else to have a show like his.

The music business and Hollywood are both famous for here today, gone tomorrow, but media in general are notorious for dumping people who become too expensive. Think about all the cutbacks in staff at various newspapers across the country. Many really, really talented writers, photographers, editors and other staff get ****-canned, not because they aren't good, but because they're too expensive, or they speak their minds.

He will be VERY sorely missed. His ability to get his interviewees and really get them to open up inspired me to endeavor to do the same when I was in journalism.

Clearchannel, which owns about 600 stations, laid off quite a few on-air personalities last week and most were not given the opportunity to say goodbye to listeners. The number of DJs let go ranges from "dozens" to "hundreds," and it's all part of a major reorganization that will result in more syndicated and automated programming. Local color will be completely diminished. Corporate broadcast radio killed the industry by blurring the distinction between formats, limiting playlists to about 30 brands (once called artists) who are merely product spokespeople with catchy jingles. Real musicians write and play music, they don't get sidetracked designing clothes (that they didn't really design) for Sears, hocking their perfume on HSN, etc. That's why I consider Katy Perry satan - even though her first album was a Christian music effort released under a different name. She realized that squirting frosting out of her boobs in videos co-starring repeat convicted felons would earn her the respect of fans and peers alike.
